Get to Know Me Tag

I've been thinking about doing a post like this for a while, but I couldn't think of a good way to do it. So when I saw the Get to Know Me Tag on Opal's blog...I stole it. Though she did tag anyone who wanted to do it, so I suppose it's not quite stealing. So, in case you want to know more about me, here you go!
 
Vital Stats:
Name: Clara
Nicknames: None. Clara doesn't lend itself well to nicknames.
Birthday: May 24th
Place of birth: California, USA
Star Sign: Gemini
Occupation: High school student, occasional math tutor

Appearance:
Hair color: Brown - reddish in the summer, dark in the winter
Hair length: Almost halfway down my back
Eye color: Blue
Best feature: Hair
Braces: I used to have Invisalign, but now I just have a retainer
Piercings: hahaha NO. I am TERRIFIED of needles, so that's not happening.
Tattoos: See above. No way.
Righty or lefty: Righty

Firsts:
First best friend: Heather, in first grade
Award: Probably some kind of X number of days of consecutive piano practice thing. Maybe 100 days?
Sport: Soccer.
Real holiday: Either Chanukah or Thanksgiving.
Concert: No clue.

Favorites:
Film: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
TV show: AGENT CARTER!
Color: At the moment, blue. It's been changing surprisingly often.
Song: Another one that changes all the time, but definitely House of Memories by Panic! at the Disco.
Restaurant: Cheesecake Factory, as long as it's not super-crowded. There's also a really good pizza place near my house with perfect thick-crust comfort food pizza.

Currently:
Feeling: Hungry. And pretty exhausted - today's been quite the roller coaster.

Thinking about: All of the terrifyingly huge choices I have to make in the next few months.
Watching: Agent Carter on TV (but I'm unfortunately behind), Parks & Rec on Netflix

Want to be married: Not particularly.
Careers in mind: Good question. We'll see.
Where do you want to live: Probably somewhere on the East Coast, but not in a big city.

Do you believe in:
God: In some way, yes.
Miracles: If people are looking for them.
Love at first sight: Absolutely not.
Ghosts: Not really, but not an emphatic no.
Aliens: In some sense, yes.
Soul mates: Not in the "one person who you're romantically destined to be with forever" sense, no, but I believe in people who just get each other in some unexplainable way.
Heaven: Still thinking about this one.
Hell: Same as above.
Kissing on the first date: Not personally.
Yourself: Not as consistently as I'd like to.

What about you? Introduce yourself! What's your favorite book? What are you thinking about? Are you as terrified of needles as I am? Tell me in the comments!

  1. I'm with you on the whole marriage and kids thing--I'm just not interested. :P

    I've never actually been to Cheesecake Factory before, but I've heard so many good things about it, I'll have to see if there's one near where I live.

    It was really fun to read all your answers! Thanks for sharing! :)

    1. Yeah, there's just so many things I want to do in my life that just don't involve marriage and kids.

      Cheesecake Factory is WONDERFUL! The menu is so huge that there's pretty much something for everyone. All the portions are so huge that you order dinner one day and have lunch for the next two. And the fudge cake is incredible.

  2. OH MY GOODNESS YOU LIKE PARKS AND REC??? You are my new best friend. Also, I watched the first episode of Agent Carter and didn't particularly love it? Does it get better? I love the idea of it but I just didn't love the first episode.

    It was great to read more about you!

    1. I LOVE Parks & Rec! I'm watching it slowly because I'm on Season 5 now and I DON'T WANT IT TO END! I personally loved Agent Carter from the beginning, but I think it gets even better. I won't pretend it's perfect - there are a couple of slower episodes here and there - but I'd say it's definitely worth giving a try if there were parts of the first episode that you liked!

Ten Books I Need More People to Love

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten Underrated/Hidden Gem Books You've Read in the Past Year or So. One of my favorite things to do is get other people to read books I love. That way, I can discuss the boo ks with them, and if I know their tastes well enough, I know I'm givin g them something that they'll love! Unfortunately, I can't do this with the entire world. And that means that there are books that I've really enjoyed t hat just aren't widely loved. Why ? I don't know. And that's why I spend so much time trying to get other people to read them. Here are ten books I've read some what recently that I think really deserve some m ore lo ve. IRON CAST by Destiny Soria: I'll never get tired of diverse books, I 'll never get tired of historical fiction, and I'll never get tired of positive female friendships. When you pu t those all together, they ma ke a book tha

Ten Unique Books I've Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and the Bookish . This week's theme: ten of the most unique books I've read! ILLUMINAE by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: This one's mostly about the way the story is told. I absolutely love how so many different formats are used and how they all come together to form one story! SIX OF CROWS by Leigh Bardugo: No matter how hard I try, I can't think of any books that compare to this. When you combine the setting and the multiple perspectives and the heist aspect, you get something totally unique.   WOLF BY WOLF by Ryan Graudin: Alternate histories aren't really anything new, but alternate histories plus powers plus motorcycle races? Definitely unique. And definitely amazing. THE SCORPIO RACES by Maggie Stiefvater: The weird thing about this book is that it feels kind of familiar, like it should remind me of another book. But it doesn't. I've never read anything quite like it. MORE HAPPY

My Ten Most Disappointing Reads

As I've read more books, I've generally gotten better at telling whether I'm going to like a book before I read it. Sometimes, though, books trick me - I look at them, think I'm going to love them, and then I don't. That really annoys me, but it makes for good post material - basically, this whole post is going to be me venting about books I really wanted to love. THE WINNER'S CURSE by Marie Rutkoski: I heard so many great things about this series - I still do - and I just don't get it. I read the first book, and I didn't care about anything that was going on, and at this point, there's no way that I'm finishing the series. DASH & LILY'S BOOK OF DARES by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan: I couldn't even finish this one, and you guys know how rarely I DNF books. I thought this was going to be a really cute holiday story, and I've really liked other David Levithan books, but by the time I was just a few chapters in I
