Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award (Take 2)


Oh man, I completely forgot to do this post. Well better late than never! I've done this tag before but I'm going to do it again because I absolutely love these questions. So, a huge thank you to Ria @Lilac Diaries for nominating me and coming up with the questions!







First the rules...

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you and link their website
2. Use the award logo on your post
3. Answer the 10 questions provided by the blogger who tagged you
4. Nominate 10 bloggers
5. Ask them 10 questions


What got you into reading?

It was a long time ago and it was out of necessity (for school), but then I just started to enjoy reading more and I wanted to get to as many great stories as possible.

Do you judge a book by its cover?

I like cover art but I don't judge a book based solely off of that (It could look like the prettiest thing in the world but the story might not be something I'm looking for). Usually I look at the synopsis first and consider it for a while before I even decide to read it.

What do you love the most about blogging? 

Being able to share my thoughts about books is pretty fun, plus I've discovered a lot of great novels that I wouldn't have normally picked up.

How did you come up with your blog title?

My co-blogger and I decided on the title because it sounded catchy (plus it was short and to the point).

Do you collect bookish items? Which is your favorite item, then?

Actually, I don't really collect bookish items (well besides books and bookmarks), but I do love my sketchbook with all of the quotes on it...so, uh, I guess it counts.

Have you ever wished to have a super power? What did you wish for?

If I could have any super power it would be Teleportation, because it would make moving a whole lot easier if I could just move things from point A to point B in a matter of seconds. *Sigh* Sadly, its just wishful thinking.

Which is your favorite Christmas book/novel/novella/short story?

I don't have one (yet), but I do want to read the Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Because why not? I've seen the movie(s) and really want to see how the book is.

Have you ever wished to live in a fantasy world? If yes, which one would you choose? (like Hogwarts, Austen world, The Hobbit, Alice's Wonderland, The land of OZ etc).

Well a lot of the ones I've read about make me cringe, because, you know, they're pretty terrible most of the time (but totally interesting to read about). However, I would visit the version of Wonderland from A.G. Howard's Splintered. Take into account that I said I would visit, because I certainly wouldn't live there.

Did you hear about J.K. Rowling's tweet mentioning Harry Potter's son, James's first year at Hogwarts. What do you think of it? Are you excited?

What is this? I have not heard of it! Somehow, someway I've missed that news. *quietly googles it* Oh, ok, yeah, it is pretty exciting.

'Happily ever after' exists only in books. Is it true? What do you think of it?

Who knows, but I think it could exist depending on the circumstances (I'm choosing the most optimistic answer).

So I'm just going to break rules 4 and 5. I'm not nominating any blogger specifically and I don't have any questions right now. Anyway, happy reading!

Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award

 Thank you to Cynthia from Bingeing on Books for nominating me! Listed below are the rules for Sisterhood of the world Bloggers Award:

1. Thank the blogger that nominated you & link back to their site
2. Post the award's logo onto your blog
3. Answer the 10 questions you've been asked
4. And finally, Nominate 10 other bloggers and ask them 10 new questions

Here are the questions from Bingeing on Books

If you were a character in a book, who would you be and why?

Vin from Mistborn because of her abilities...which I would want because they're so cool.

What are you reading right now?

I'm not reading anything at the moment since I literally just finished an ARC of Lucidity by Stephanie Thomas.  I want to finish working on the review for it before I move on to something else.

Who is your favorite author?

I have too many to count and it would take all day to list them. But for now I'm just going to say Brandon Sanderson...F.T, Bradley...um Victoria Schwab...and Jennifer Estep. See, I have too many to just list one.

Describe your favorite reading spot.

I mostly read at my desk, so I guess that counts as my favorite reading spot.

What is your favorite book to movie adaptation?

Does Alice in Wonderland (1951 movie) count? It's technically a book to movie adaptation so I'm just going to stick with that as my answer.

What do you like most about blogging?

I like being able to share my thoughts about books with other people!

Which book do you recommend the most and why?

Video Game Storytelling by Evan Skolnick because it offers an interesting insight into how video games are made.

Do you prefer coffee or tea?

Oh, tea all the way. I've never been a fan of coffee. Its just not my thing.

Fun fact about yourself!

I still like CDs better.

Rough estimate, how many books are in your TBR pile?

At the moment I've got 3 books I plan on reading soon, and the rest are just kind of whenever I get to them.

Here are the bloggers that I'm nominating (some are on youtube & its not exactly 10)...
And here are my questions...
  • Which 2015 release are you most looking forward?
  • Name one series that you plan on finishing but just haven’t gotten to yet.
  • If you ever found yourself lost in the wilderness, which character from any book would you have with you to help you survive?
  • Do you prefer ebooks or paperbacks?
  • Would you rather have a book shaped cookie or cake?
  • If there is a book signing with three authors in attendance, which ones would you like to meet and why?
  • What’s your favorite kind of drink?
  • Name a book from 2014 that had a cover you absolutely loved.
  • What's one thing you enjoy doing other than reading?
  • Why do you love reading?
