As my follower and view count goes up and the time I have had this blog get’s longer I realised I should do a Get To Know Me Tag, for all my new followers who may wish to know more about the little old creator of Mortal Reader. This specific tag I didn’t take from anywhere in particular but instead picked some questions from other popular tags and pooled them together.
So let’s get nosey…
Name: Hannah
Age: dun dun dunnnn… I’m 23.
Ok so i’m super old I know, I feel as if i’m actually 18. I forget how old I am all the time.
Zodiac: Virgo, my birthday is September 16th.
Profession: I work part-time in Retail whilst I am studying for my Masters Degree in English Literature. My Bachelors Degree is also in English Literature.
What Do I Want To Do After? That’s the ultimate dreaded question every student hates. I would love to go into publishing but the majority of opportunities are in London and I am such a home small town bird. So the reality? I’m not sure.
Reason Behind Creating a Blog? I have loved watching YouTube and reading blogs for years, my anxiety never would have let me create a YouTube but I knew I wanted to share my love for reading so created my blog. I love to inspire people to read and try new things to read.
Reason Behind The Blog Name? One of my favourite book series is The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare. It was such a large part of my life when I created this blog so I had to incorporate it somehow!
Weird Habit? I have a sort of obsessive personality and I go through trends of books, videos, TV shows and things like that which I like. Say for example for a few weeks I can be obsessed with watching FRIENDS then the next minute I’m obsessed and can’t get enough with Youtube Videos or I binge old episodes of Home and Away.
I’m not obsessive with people though just shows… I promise.
Favourite Food(s): Junk Food… burger and chips. CHINESE FOOD is my weakness.
Food I Hate: I’m so fussy so this could be such a long list but… PIZZA. I’ve tried it and I’m not a fan at all. I’m sorry..
Favourite Movie(s): I love so many but HARRY POTTER, Dirty Dancing, Pretty Woman, Bridget Jones Diary, The Hunger Games, Divergent. I’m also a sucker for Transformers (1+2), Iron Man, Bad Boys, Fast and Furious… I’m such a film nerd so this list could be endless.
Favourite TV Show(s): Again SO many… One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, FRIENDS, Gilmore Girls, Sex and The City, The Big Bang Theory, Greys Anatomy…
Favourite Youtubers: I watch a ton of Youtube…too much my family says. I kind of go through trends of when I watch people but I always go back to of course booktuber Emmmabooks then Zoella, Alfie Deyes, Just Kidding Films/News/Party to name but a few.
Favourite Book(s): Why do I put these questions in for myself when I have so many faves… A Court of Thorns and Roses Series by Sarah J.MAAS, Harry Potter by J.K Rowling, The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare.
Guilty Pleasure: Reality TV Shows.. I binge Jeremy Kyle which you all probably won’t be familiar with but it is a talk show on here in the U.K . Then of course theirs Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Bondi Beach Rescue etc…
Read Out Loud or In Head: In my head but I do read out loud every now and again for a page or too…
Where Do You Read: Usually in my bedroom, I struggle to read with tons of people around and there is 7 of us who live in my house including a 4-year-old so sometimes quiet doesn’t exist…
Hardback or Paperback: Paperback. I love hardback and I get an odd one or two but I find paperbacks so much easier to hold and their much more comfortable to read with.
And that’s where I am going to leave it for today… if there is anything else you would like to know then feel free to leave a comment below! I would also love to know more about you all, so let me know some of your faves or guilty pleasures!
I love when bloggers do tags that help the readers get to know them better. This tag seemed like a lot of fun and I noticed some things we have in common. I also love Gilmore Girls and Grey’s Anatomy! I was surprised to see you hate pizza, though, but my boyfriend’s dad also doesn’t like pizza, so I guess it’s a pretty common food to not like. 🙂

Yay! I’m so happy to find a fellow Gilmore Girls and Greys fan. Have you seen the latest episodes of Gilmore Girls? The ones from Year In The Life. I REALLY hope they make a season 2 of that. Pizza is one which surprises everyone, but I mean i’m super fussy so once everyone knows that their like ok that makes sense… I’m just a plain jane! haha x

I did see Year in the Life and I don’t know how I feel about them making a season two. I liked the reboot but I also feel satisfied with what they gave us. I do want to see Rory with Jess though. I’m very conflicted haha.

So glad i’m not the only one but I think the immature side is also the best way to be, because we get more fun out of life right?x

I’m glad I’m not the only one constantly forgetting about my age… and when I remind myself of it all, I feel SO OLD and I hate it already?! I feel like I’m still 19 and I want to be 19 hahaha.
I love that we have so much in common, I love almost all of the movies you quoted here and FRIENDS is my favorite of all times ❤ And I'm with you on paperbacks, I much prefer them as well 😀

You know the one thing I wish we were more similar on? YOUR BLOGGING AND ORGANISATION SKILLS. I am clearly the twin of us who got none… I mean we have to have one difference right? You’re my Chandler to my Joey x

I love this SO much, Han ❤️ I’m totally going to steal this and maybe add a few other questions!
I never knew that was were your blog name came from; I love it! I have only read the first book in The Mortal Instruments series, but I really want to read the whole series. I can’t believe you don’t like pizza, I am totally shocked.
I’m so happy to see that we have the same taste in books, movies and shows – it would be so amazing if we could meet one day. Harry Potter is obviously also one of my favourite movies, I also really loved Divergent and The Hunger Games {I have to still watch Mockingjay Part 2, don’t kill me}. OMW, yes to Gossip Girl and Grey’s Anatomy, although I am also behind on that 🙈
I also have somewhat of an obsessive compulsive personality. I do the exact same thing as you, I get obsessed with a show/or thing and then I just watch it compulsively {I on the other hand sometimes do that with new people too, I am not a stalker I promise}. I really loved this tag and that we have so many wonderful things in common ❤️

You should totally do it and yes add more questions. I hope you do pick up TMI again, Jace is forever my book boyfriend. I think you’ll love his sarcastic and sassy nature.
I won’t kill you for not watching Mockingjay Part 2 yet… although how haven’t you yet?!
I’m so glad we share so many things in common, I also can’t wait for you to catch up on Greys Anatomy because I can’t wait to see you screaming about certain episodes. Who’s your fave characters? xx

I’m definitely planning on picking it up, I loved the first book, I just haven’t had time since then to actually read the rest of the series!
I know 😭 it’s the actual worst. I just haven’t had the time and no one in my life is really interested in The Hunger Games franchise – now that is shocking!
After finishing Masterchef and Lucifer, Grey’s and This Is Us is definitely on my to be watched list. I love Meredith (I didn’t always), Alex is one of my favourites (although I’m on the fence after the whole fight thing). Then I absolutely adore Arizona and Maggie and yours xx

I love this! My birthday is on 15th and I also sometimes feel old, I am 22 but then sometimes I feel like I am 18 lol. I can understand, believe me i have also been asked question about what I am going to do next and it gives me anxiety. I also love One tree hill and my guilty pleasure is keeping my up with kardashian. I used to love pizza but recently I am not liking them much. And definitely a Harry Potter girl!
