Know me Better - books, food, movies, and I dump my bag

Know me Better is a meme hosted by Kathy from I Am A Reader, Not A Writer. Every week she posts 5 questions from her author interview list that the participating bloggers then answer and link to.

This week's questions:
Books You Are Dying to Read
Foods you wish you could eat and never gain a pound
Things you have in your purse/bag/wallet now
Movies you never want to see again
Movie you watch over and over again


Apparently this is also a top ten thing, but we'll see if I can come up with ten items for each point...

Books You Are Dying to Read
Some of these I already own, some not, some aren't even out yet:
The Eternity Cure - Julie Kagawa
the third book in Kelly Creagh's Nevermore trilogy
Clockwork Princess - Cassandra Clare
The Secret of Ella & Micha - Jessica Sorensen (I own it)
Flight - Alyssa Rose Ivy (that one too)
The Jelly Bean Crisis - Jolene Stockman (yup, that one too)
Shadow and Bone  - Leigh Bardugo
Lola and the Boy Next Door  - Stefanie Perkins
Dearly, Beloved  - Lia Habel
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown - Holly Black

Plus many more, and many books I wish  I could re-read...


Foods you wish you could eat and never gain a pound
My body is stupid. It gains weight from everything, so that list is much much longer than these few top items...
Bread / cereal. Sounds stupid, but sometimes I actually binge on the stuff in the worst way...
Vermicelles. In case you're wondering what the hell that is, it's a Swiss specialty, pronounced 'wear-me-cell' in English words. It's made from chestnuts and it's delicious!!! Too bad the season's already over again, but I could eat tons of it... this is what it looks like:
Underneath, there is usually meringues ^^

These mints:
Ice cream
Peas
Mashed potatoes (self-made)
Gnocchi
Zimtstern cookies
Chocolate, or Schoggi as us Swiss people say. I especially love that by Cailler, Lindt, and the Munz prĂ¼geli...  but I rarely eat it because I have no moderation. I can't just eat a piece or two.

Things you have in your purse/bag/wallet now
My bag: agenda, wallet, notepad, notebook with Oscar Wilde quotes on the bottom of every page, one of those small folded umbrellas, pens, purple gloves with little black stars on them, mirror, eyeliner, hairpins, comb, chapstick, tissues, a tiny mini-sewing kit with scissors, needles, thread and everything that used to belong to my grandma.

Movies you never want to see again
Um... I'm sure there are awful movies I'd rather not watch again, but I can't come up with anything completely dreadful right now... maybe Blair Witch Project because it was so terribly boring? (I am not joking, I was zero scared and just waiting for something interesting to happen half the time).
I also dislike all comedies that give me secondhand embarrassment. I'd watch dumb action movies over those any time - at least the fight scenes look badass.

Movie you watch over and over again
Back to the Future. The Lord of the Rings movies. Heathers. Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The Breakfast Club. Matrix. Easy A. The Swedish 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' etc. movies - Noomi Rapace is forever my Lisbeth Salander! Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Sleepy Hollow. Perks of Being a Wallflower. The Crow. Memoires of a Geisha. Finding Forester... I'm sure I forgot a couple really important ones!!

Erm yeah... I might have gone a bit overboard with some lists ^^' What do you guys think? And can you come up with a couple really terrible movies?
