Aeolian here. 

An avid reader and literature enthusiast.

[color=f49ac2]1. What is the book you recommend to about everyone?[/color]

[i]"Perfect Peace" by Daniel Black[/i]. It is a story that revolves around a mother who has many sons, but is desperate for a daughter. She decides to give it one more go, but again, ends up having another son. Desperate for a daughter, she lies to her entire family and pretends that her newborn son, is actually a daughter, and goes about raising him as such. It's an incredibly nuanced coming of age story about the son growing up and finding himself in a false world that his mother cultivated because of her own selfish desires for a daughter.

[color=f49ac2]2. What are your top 5 favorite books you've read?[/color]

[i]- "Perfect Peace" by Daniel Black.[/i]
[i]- "The Amulet of Samarkand" by Johnathan Stroud[/i]; Magic is involved, which is always a treat for me.
[i]- "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen[/i]; This book brings back childhood memories for me. I feel like everyone was required to read this in elementary school.
[i]- "Midnighters, The Secret Hour" by Scott Westerfield[/i]; A story about a group of teens who get superpowers when the clock strikes 12, while everyone else in the world is frozen in time. I adore this concept and the characters.
[i]- "Left to Tell" by immaculee ilibagiza[/i]; This book really hurt my heart, but was so inspiring. It's a biography about the author herself, and how she survived the Rwandan Holocaust. Truly a gut-wrenching life she lived. 

[color=f49ac2]Bonus[/color]

[i]- "A Child Called It" by Dave Pelzer[/i]; Another biography similar to Left to Tell. However, this time, the author retells his life about the absolutely unfathomable abuse he survived through, done to him by the hands of his own ghastly mother. This book left me in pieces, but I've never been able to forget it. 

Most of my top 5 authors didn't make my top 5 book list. I mainly like these authors for their writing stytle. 

[color=f49ac2]3. Top 5 authors?[/color]
- [i]JK Rowling[/i]; Even-though none of the Harry Potter books made my top 5, I really like her writing style. However I felt the books had too many Deux Machina moments.
- [i]Harper Lee[/i]
- [i]Daniel Black[/i]
- [i]Dean Koontz[/i]
- [i]Erin Morgenstern[/i]

[color=f49ac2]4. Worst book you've ever read?[/color]

Can't recall at this present moment.

[color=f49ac2]5. What book seemed really popular but you didn’t like?[/color]

[i]"Twilight" by Stephanie Meyer[/i]; Too sappy and the vampires are bullocks. Also, Bella was an incredibly boring character.

[color=f49ac2]6. What five books have you always wanted to read but haven’t got round to?[/color]

[i]- Simon vs the Homosapien Agenda by Becky Albertalli[/i]
[i]- The Gracekeepers by Kirsty Logan[/i]
[i]- The Redwall Series by Brian Jacques[/i]
[i]- Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee[/i]
