Thank you so much Dini @ Dini Panda Reads for nominating me for this award! I have never been nominated before, and I honestly never thought I would because my blog is all over the place, but thank you so much for believing in me! Please go check out Dini’s blog (it’s freaking gorgeous and amazing, just like Dini herself) and show her some support! Let’s see what kind of questions I get to answer on this one.

what is the sunshine blogger award?

The Sunshine Blogger Award is given to those who are creative, positive and inspiring while spreading sunshine to the blogging community.

how does it work?

• Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you in a blog post and link back to their blog.
• Answer the 11 questions sent by the person who nominated you.
• Nominate 11 new blogs to receive the award and write them 11 new questions.
• List the rules and display the Sunshine Blogger Award logo in your post and/or on your blog.

[1] What is your favorite book genre?

Young adult fantasy for sure. I love almost anything in the young adult world, but fantasy seems to be my main one because I love seeing people my age or a little younger having to save the world and realizing that they are strong enough and capable enough to do so. It’s a nice little break from reality sometimes.

[2] What book do you wish would be made into a TV series/movie?

Either the Lunar Chronicles or The Inheritance Cycle. The Eragon movie was okay, but it had the potential to be so much better. I think making both of these into series will be able to keep them more true to their source material and not have to skimp out on a lot of the details.

[3] You need to escape your house (for some reason) and can only bring 3 books in your bag. What books would you take?

[4] Why did you start a book blog?

I liked being able to share my thoughts on what I was reading, and I wanted to be able to look back throughout the years and see how I’ve improved in my writing and all that. Plus sometimes I like to see what books I read in the past and what I thought about it back then. Which books I want to read again, which books were one and done for me, stuff like that.

[5] What was your last 5-star read and why?

[6] What’s a destination you want to visit because of a book you read?

Havana, Cuba. I know that it may not be possible for a very long time, but I hope that one day I will be able to see it and experience what it has to offer, and learn more about its culture and history.

[7] If you could read any book again for the first time, which book would it be and why?

[8] Do you read books in another language? If yes, what language?

Unfortunately, no. I’m not fluent in anything anymore, and I haven’t been practicing my other languages. I know I need to, but I just haven’t been keeping up with it. Maybe I will.

[9] Which fictional character do you think is most like you?

Enough said.

[10] Which fictional world would you most like to visit or live in and why?

I want to live this life. If I could have been a student at Hogwarts, I would have been the best student ever. I want to be in Hermione’s shoes. I mean, I’m a Muggle born like her. I can be like her right? Right??

[11] What popular book and/or author do you hate?

Uh….. I don’t think hate is the right word because I don’t really hate people that I don’t care about. I guess I don’t care about them as much, or like the controversy that I’ve read about them. It hasn’t made me want to read their books anymore or ever. Sorry.
