THREE THINGS ABOUT MYSELF
- I love wine! I only drink sweet wines though! Dry wine is just gross.
- I love cats but will never be able to own one again. Unfortunately my boyfriend is allergic.
- I really love owls! My apartment has random owl knick knacks all over.
FERNANDA’S QUESTIONS
- Why and how did you decide on your blog name?
- Why? Because I clearly am a book nerd haha. How? I randomly came up with the phrase one day and placed it in my Goodreads bio and it just stuck. So when I decided to make a book blog, I thought the phrase fit well with my personality and it would also let other bloggers know that my blog was going to be focused on books.
- If your life were turned into a movie or book, what would the title be?
- Oh goodness, I don’t know. I’m not a very creative person and my life is also quite boring. Hmm..yeah, I’ve got nothing guys.
- What’s your favorite genre to read?
- Honestly, it depends on the time of year. In winter, I really like fantasy books. In fall, I definitely go with horror and thrillers.
- What’s a hobby of yours?
- Kayaking when it is warm enough!
- If you could go anywhere, where would you go?
- In the real world, all over Europe! In a fictional world, Hogwarts!
MEG’S QUESTIONS
- When did you start blogging? What made you want to start?
- I started my blog June 27, 2017. Not quite 3 months yet. I started because I really needed to do something with my life other than just working and going home to wake up and go back to work. I needed to do something creative that I would enjoy doing as an outlet for pent-up energy.
- If you could have one song as your theme tune that played around you at all times, what would it be and why?
- Bad Blood by Taylor Swift. I’ve had some people in my past backstab me in ways I could never fathom doing to others, so maybe if I had this theme song people would realize I’m not one to mess with. Sorry, that got a little dark.
- Who is your biggest inspiration?
- My mama.
- Where is your dream place to live? Why?
- Ultimately, I would love to live in the Caribbean. The islands that I have been to have just been so beautiful. The sights take my breath away. I also really love the tropical weather, minus the hurricanes. I’ll probably never leave the U.S., but one can dream, right?
- What is one book you would recommend that everyone should read?
- The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
ROSE’S QUESTIONS
- What is your favorite trilogy of all time?
- I have two trilogies that come to mind. The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare and His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. I cannot choose between the two.
- What is your most loved trope and most hated?
- Most loved: Probably the “chosen one”
- Most hated: Insta-love
- Favorite book boyfriend?
- Jem Carstairs always and forever. He’s my baby.
- What is your favorite beverage?
- Non-alcoholic: Pepsi
- Alcoholic: Wine, specifically Niagara.
- If you were immortal for a day, what would you do?
- I would like to say I would go sky diving.
MY QUESTIONS
I’m going to steal a few questions from above. I hope that’s okay. I just thought some of the questions I asked were really good!
- What is your favorite genre to read?
- If you could have one song as your theme tune that played around you at all times, what would it be and why?
- What is your favorite trilogy of all time?
- Who is your number one book boyfriend or girlfriend?
- What is a genre you haven’t read or you read the least?
NOMINEES
Okay y’all, I’m not nominating a bunch of people because most people I know have either done this award post already or have been tagged already. I hope that’s okay.

I’ve had a lot of friends (99%) stab me in the back for absolutely NO reason. I cannot believe people act like that. It makes me want to just stay in my little bubble and stop trying to make friends honestly. Thank you so much for nominating me ❤ can't wait to answer your questions!

I will never understand people. I’m such a nice person and an extremely loyal friend so I don’t know why people have hurt me the way they have. At least I know better not to befriend them again.

Ugh I hate backstabbers. They’re the worst! I’ll have to try the wine you mentioned. I’m not a huge wine drinker, but mostly because I haven’t found a sweet/fruity wine I enjoy. Thanks for the tag! I can’t wait to do this one. 🙂
