Introducing DAB member: Bess

What made you want to join the Dog’s Advisory Board?

I am a shy person and I joined this advisory board to gin a bit of confidence as well as wanting to get to know other people and what they think abut different books, I also joined for the experience that came with the workshops and writing.

What do you look for in a book?

I mainly look for books that have exciting plots as well as new ideas. 

Favourite author?

Probably J.K. Rowling since she has been my favourite for a very long time.” 

Favourite book?

Harry Potter, for obvious reasons. 

Favourite character?

Severus Snape because the reader’s view on him as a character changes throughout the books and I really value that. I like his character the best personally, and how he is written.

Do you write anything? What do you like writing?

I enjoy writing fiction as well as short stories. I am a slow writer so it takes me a while to actually finish something. 

Do you read/write fan fiction?

To be honest, I don’t. 

What book/genre would you recommend?

I recommend you read what you want to read and don’t read things that are boring or you dislike just because its popular or your friend asked you to read it. You do you. 

How would you describe yourself?

I’d say I’m shy, withdrawn, and I don’t like speaking much to be honest. 

How do you see yourself?

I have lots of ideas but I don’t usually follow up on it and I don’t share things often, so they’re usually floating around until I eventually decide to act on it. 

Whats your favourite word?

Um… No idea, 

Do you prefer books, TV or movies?

I definitely enjoy books a lot more, but I do enjoy movies. I don’t like TV that much. I will always read the book before seeing the movie based off of that book.
