The Liebster Blog Award

The questions are from the lovely Alyssa @ BookHuntressWorld! Please look at her blog, the content is incredible!

I am very sorry about the past couple of weeks when I have been, as Ally so eloquently said, MIA. Middle School is very busy and I also noticed that some of you said that I was posting too much so I decided to cut down a little. And then my posting diminished to nothing. But, since I have been neglecting my homework and friends, I got up to date on all of that and by that time, it had been a good  15-16 days.

But enough rambling. On with it!

The Rules:

1. Acknowledge the blog that nominated you and display the award.
2. Answer the 11 questions that the blog gives you.
3. Give 11 random facts about yourself.
4. Nominate 5-11 blogs that you think are deserving of the award that have less than 200 followers.
5. Let the blogs know you have nominated them.
6. Give them 11 questions to answer.

The Questions:

1. Why do you read books?

Same reason why I read fantasy. So I can get caught up in other people’s worlds and forget about mine.

2. What is your top 5 favorite books?

Honestly? Sorry Alyssa but I am going to throw in a couple of series.

• Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
• Ruined by Amy Tintera
• Throne of Glass (Series) by Sarah J. Maas
• The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead
• Study (Series) by Maria V. Snyder

3. Give 3 least liked books and why you choose them?

• Strange Girl by Christopher Pike. I am sorry but it has no plot and the ending!
• Zeroes by Scott Westerfield and Co. I was really annoyed by the constant character switches…
• Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper. I found this book under-developed therefore confusing.

4. Do you drink or eat some foods while reading?

I will eat and drink whilst reading but will go psychopathic if something happens to the book. (Ally says that I am already a psychopath.)

5. What is your favorite song?

Ummm. I have so many so I am going to go with ‘Send My Love (To Your New Lover) by Adele, Keeping Score by L.D.R.U and Toothbrush by D.N.C.E. (Do not judge!)

6. When did you start your blog?

February 19th, 2016. Coming up to our 6 month anniversary!

7. What is the title of the book you last bought?

Manners and Mutiny by Gail Carriger. I had to wait for 7 days… (See Fact No. 3)

8. If you were a character from a book, who would you be?

Aelin/ Celaena from the Throne of Glass Series! Wait… In the 1st, 3rd and 4th books… But her life is awesome, although many would disagree!

9. Where do you buy your books?

From Book Depository, my local bookstores and bookstores point blank.

10. If you have a chance to visit a place in a story you’ve read, where will you go?

11. Do you play any sports? If yes, what sport is it?

2. I planned my college life in year seven with Melia and we are still going there.

4. I am petrified by spiders…
5. I tried to be a vegetarian once… It lasted for a week.
6. I can’t memorize speeches in English but when it comes to French, I am a pro!
