  1. What are you reading right now?
    Odd & True by Cat Winters
  2. What was your favourite read from 2016?
    OMG so many to choose from but I’ll have to say Illuminae by Aime Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
  3. What is your favourite read of 2017 so far?
    The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. Definitely started off the year with a bang!
  4. Do you read more than one book at once? Why? Why not?
    The only time I ever read two books at once is if I am reading a fiction (any sub genre in this category) book and take a break to read a poetry book which doesn’t happen all the time. I cannot read two fiction books or two poetry books at the same time. My mind does not do well at all lol. I admire people who can read multiple books at the same time.
  5. Do you enjoy reading classics?
    Nope.
  6. What is your ideal reading spot?
    My bedroom, I can read well on my bed or the floor lol.
  7. Do you read when you travel?
    No I do not!!! I usually can read on the plane or car ride but I do not read on vacation.
  8. How many books do you read in a month (approximately)?
    My reading has slowed down tremendously this year due to being an author now lol. I would say 3-4 books per month.
  9. How many books do you read in a year (approximately)?
    About 50 to 60 books per year but that most likely will be lower this year.
  10. What is your favourite genre? Why?
    OMG this is so hard! No it isn’t lol it’s a tie between anything YA and poetry. I feel like I connect most to these genres, poetry for personal reasons and YA for the fun. I love reading action packed YA stories, oh it just takes me to another world!
  11. Do you read more during a particular season than other seasons?
    I read a lot more during Fall/Winter/Spring seasons because once summer comes, I have a lot of guest in my household *side eye* and that messes with my reading time.

Thanks to Maya The Book Explorer for tagging me!!! Sorry for not doing this sooner!!

The rules are as follows:

  • Thank the person who nominated you.
  • Answer 11 questions set by the person who nominated you.
  • Nominate 11 bloggers to receive the award and write them 11 new questions to answer.

Questions:

  1. When did you know you should start your own blog?
    I realized this when I knew I wanted to post my own personal writing and when I didn’t want to do booktube anymore. One night I just sat in front of my computer and figured it out…two months later here I am and I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY WITH MY BLOG =)
  2. What do you look at first: the book cover or the blurb?
    I look at the book cover if I’m at a bookstore but I usually go by reviews.
  3. Would you say you read a lot and can you stop reading in the middle of a chapter?
    I can’t say I read a lot because I have a full time job in which I’m the manager so I come home tired and I dedicate time to my dog (who I tell everyone is my son). I can stop reading in the middle of a chapter if I have something else to do that requires immediate attention.
  4. Name your top 5 favourite books?
    Top 5?!?!?! I actually can’t do that. So sorry lol.
  5. Do you read the book after the movie that’s based on that book is already out? And which is better, the movie or the book?
    No I do not read the book after the movie is out because I get extremely bored. However, I do like to read the book before the movie and THE BOOK is definitely better than the movie. My only exception for this would be The Maze Runner, I actually liked the movie way more than the book.
  6. Have you read the whole published The Game of Thrones book series? If yes, how long did it take to finish?
    No I have not and nor will I because I’m watching the show.
  7. Do you have book nights with your friends?
    Nope! All my book friends live far away from me =(
  8. You could be any book character you wanted…Who would you be and why?
    OOOOOOO this is so hard but I would have to say Feyre because Rhys *heart eyes*
  9. Do you think of yourself as a calm, quiet reader or as someone that expresses his feelings loudly when reading the book?
    I am a calm and quiet reader till a plot twist or abrupt scene occurs…then I’m like *gasp* “OMG YOU ASSHOLE!!!” “WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!” etc
  10. How old were you when you bought your first book and what was the name of it?
    Bought??? With my own money??? Lol I was 15 when I bought Crank by Ellen Hopkins
