MY QUESTIONS

How do you decide which book to read next?

Honestly? It differs all the time. It depends on my mood. Did I just read a sad and depressing book? I will definitely pick up something light and fluffy next, even if it’s not on my TBR for the month. Sometimes, I get really behind on ARC’s. I then realize, “oh shoot!” and bump them up. When my deadline is coming close, I get bad anxiety, until it’s read. It’s why I don’t request more than a handful at a time. Then there’s the occasional book that finally arrives at the library for me! Since I’ve been waiting forever, I need to get to that ASAP! Lol. It’s all just very random.

Do your friends/family know that you have a blog?

No. I just told one friend about it and she was so excited. Told me, she was going to check it out. I kind of feel like this is my safe space and I can say and do whatever? I mean, I mostly talk about books and books. A lot of people don’t know about our fertility journey but I’m not afraid to share here. I don’t have that many followers. Maybe one day, when I have a ton of followers and I have a lot more books arriving on my doorstep, will I let them in on my awesome world.

What’s one genre that you have trouble getting into?

When I was younger, before YA, I used to read so many romance books. I’m not kidding. For a while, I was all about Nora Roberts. Then one day, I saw Twilight in the theater, bought the book after and found YA. I now have a REALLY hard time reading just romance books. I’m not sure if it’s because I read so many that they start to feel the same? I can only do a few here and there and I still find myself rolling my eye too much. I don’t know, maybe I need better authors to read from.

What’s the last boo you added to your TBR?

The Dark Days Club by Alison Goodman. This was purely because Sabaa Tahir really recommended this whole series at her meet and greet.

Which fictional character (book or otherwise) would you want to meet in real life?

Wonder Woman.

In general, do you like to watch film adaptations of books?

Yes, I then criticize it to pieces, so not sure why. haha. I usually go in expecting the worst but then a lot of them surprise me, in a good way! So, yes, I do.

What’s the last book you finished?

Bring Me Back by B.A. Paris. 3/5 stars.    

What’s the last book you re-read?

I have not re-read a book in sooooo long. I don’t typically do. I remember one clearly. I read it over and over. I’m not sure why because it’s tremendously sad. If you have ever read Lurlene McDaniel, you would understand.

Don’t Die, My Love by Lurlene McDaniel   

Do you prefer series or standalones?

When I’m reading that book- standalone. I don’t want to wait years for the ending. HAHA! Honestly, I think series. There are sooo many amazing series that I love. I can’t imagine if they were standalones. Sometimes, it is really nice to have a standalone though.

What’s your favorite book by your favorite author?

A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. It’s insanely hard to pick a favorite author. I have to go with this because I’ve been recommending it, since before it came out! I love all of his books but one. It’s an amazing book, go read it!

What’s your favorite kind of blog post to read?

I really enjoy reading all the tags and awards. There can be a lot of posts about the same books and reviews. It’s nice to get to know the blogger behind the posts sometimes. 🙂
