Q&A
1. Why do you blog:
A: I started blogging because my English teacher told us that we could do our reading logs on a blog that year. I had never had enough room to write on my reading logs, so I was very happy I finally had a much more fun and easier option. :) Around the same time, I got a Goodreads, and I discovered book blogs, the "Blog this Review" HTML option on Goodreads, and discovered "book reviews" that I had a ton of fun writing simultaneously. I was like, "Why not post my reviews to my blog?!" So, I did. And then, I began to learn that people had whole blogs with GIVEAWAYS *drools* and reviews!! Like AHHHH!!!!!!!!
2. What are 3 words you would use to describe yourself?
A: Crazy, procrastinator, caring
3. What advice would you give fellow bloggers?
4. Who is your favorite fairy tale character?
5. Do you have any book crushes?
A: Probably Darcy from The Mother-Daughter Book Club series. He's a history buff, and he loves to read. And he's pretty darn cute. But I would never steal him from Jess! I totes ship them!
6. How many books do you want to read this year?
6. How many books do you want to read this year?
A: Well my Goodreads 2013 Reading Challenge says 85, but I am 28 books (34%) behind schedule. Ouch.
7. Where is your favorite place to read?
7. Where is your favorite place to read?
A: Window seats, but since I do not have any, my closet. I can forget I'm in my house. I just sit on my closet floor on top of some cozy blankets with a lantern and read in my own private reading nook.
8. What is your favorite time of year?
8. What is your favorite time of year?

9. What are you reading right now? Would you recommend it?
9. What are you reading right now? Would you recommend it?
A: I'm re-reading The Mother-Daughter Book Club series by Heather Vogel Frederick and I'm on Pies and Prejudice. I love this series SOOOO MUCH!!!!! It is in my top five books/series of all time! My reviews are being written as I re-read them, but the first two are posted recently on the blog, I believe right below this post.
10. Do you prefer e-books or print books?
10. Do you prefer e-books or print books?
A: Print books. I start feeling a little sick when I read ebooks from a device for too long, and they get more boring on a screen. There are pros and cons to both, and I like both, but physical books are just a little more my thing.
11. Do you have any pets?
11. Do you have any pets?
A: Yes. I have one cat, and two dogs. I am absolutely in love with my cat, but I'm not really a big dog person. My cat is...well...<3 class="separator" p="" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 15.75pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center;">
