Q&A

1. Who is your favorite author? 

My favorite author... this is a hard question because I don't have just one favorite author, but my top favorite authors are C. C. Hunter, Lauren DeStefano, Jennifer Estep, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Veronica Rossi, Beth Revis, Veronica Roth, Kristen Simmons, Tracey Ward, Jessica Brody, and Gregg Olsen.

2. Are you an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert?

I am a complete extrovert!

3. How many books do you have in your TBR pile?

According to Goodreads 1614... although a few books need to be taken off the list, and the list grows everyday. It's not my fault there are so many books out there that I want to read, and that I don't have the time to read them all in my short days.

4. Why did you decide to become a book blogger?

For a few different reasons. The first reason is to help promote authors by blog tours. The second reason is to meet other bloggers and have a way of discussing books, and finding out about new books. The third and final reason was to share books with other book lovers that I love so much!

5.  Besides reading and blogging, what are some of your favorite things to do in your spare time?

I grew up with an older brother, so I love playing sports and video games. I also love watching TV and movies, and writing my own books, poems, etc. Finally I love working with children, and love volunteering my time to help people.

6. If you could choose a fictional character to be your best friend, who would you choose, and why?

The list could go on and on and on. There are so many fictional characters that I love. The fictional character that I would choose to be my best friend would be Gwen Frost from the Mythos Academy Series by Jennifer Estep, because she is so much like me. She would do anything to protect her friends, and she doesn't give up on any of them through their tough times and struggles.

7. Do you play any type of sports? If so, which ones?

I finished my last year of soccer because of college. I had played for 13 years. I also was in dance, cheerleading, and baton (twirling). I currently do not play any sports, but I definitely miss soccer (at least I can still watch it).

8. Are there any books that you regret reading?

Hmm... I won't list any books I read for school, but Unbearable Book Club for Unsinkable Girls by Julie Schumacher, An Abundance of Katherines by John Green, and A Dance with Tilly by Daniel Kelley.

9. What's your favorite type of food?

My favorite type of food is chocolate... of course! :)

10. Out of all the books you've ever read, what three books would you most recommend?

Well the first book would be Touch of Frost (Mythos Academy #1) by Jennifer Estep, the second book would be Writing on the Wall (Survival Series #1) by Tracey Ward, and the final book would be Unremembered (Unremembered #1) by Jessica Brody. This was a very hard choice of books because I have read so many fantastic books.
