Seven Facts About Me

1.I used to play multiple instruments, I even read music. But, I have forgotten how to now.

2. My favorite color is green, but chances are that will change in a week. I never have the same favorite color for loIng.

3. I used to HATE reading. When I was a child I would read like crazy then people started to tell me what to read. Then, I refused to read everything, then when people stopped telling me to read I finally did. I am a stubborn person.

4. Watched the first Harry Potter movie before I started reading the books. I know, I watched the movie first, the HORROR!

5. I love collecting mugs, I tend to pick up one from every place I visit or if I think one is cute. The last one I bought was created by Lia over at Lost in a Story, you can find that here.

 

6. I have a huge sweet tooth. I especially love brownies. If you have a good recipe please send it my way. I love trying new ones.

7. I enjoy both coffee and tea, I tend to one each of them every day. Most of the time I have coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon.

TAG | Unique Blogger Award Vol. 2

ClassicBhaer6 Comments

 

unique

Thank you so much Irena for nominating me for this, I have to say I loved your questions so much. If you have never seen this girls blog, you need it check it out. Without further delay here we go!

Link to Volume One: TAG | The Unique Blogger Award

The Rules:

  • Share the link of the blogger who has shown love to you by nominating you.
  • Answer the questions.
  • In the spirit of sharing love and solidarity with our blogging family, nominate 8-13 people for the same award.
  • Ask them 3 questions.

Questions & Answers:

1. A monster breaks into your home! (Gasp!) But it’s not a very dangerous one, don’t worry. It’s just lost, poor thing. It can easily be scared, and then it will go into the wild and live happily ever after. But you need to scare it. The only thing that comes to mind is to throw a book at it, because you’re standing next to your shelves. You obviously don’t want to throw and possibly destroy a book you love, so you grab a book you don’t like and you don’t even know why you still have it. What book do you choose?

Now this is going to get me in trouble, but I want to be honest. If I had to throw a book at a monster to scare it away I would throw Illuminae by Amie Kaufman. I loved the concept, but I just could not get invested in the story.

2. You’re walking down the street, minding your own business, and you find a magical lamp. (You now it’s magical because it sparkles. Or something.) And what do you do – you rub the lamp of course. You know how these things work! And, yes, a genie comes out and says he’ll give you any superpower you want.
“But, I thought I was supposed to get three wishes!” you say.
“I’m the genie, I know how this works! You get a superpower!”
You shrug and accept the offer. A superpower is still great. Which superpower do you choose?

To me this seems like a super power, but it might not to others. But, I would ask for Omni-linguism. I would love to be able to understand any form of language.

3. I’ll keep this one shorter, I promise. XD Now, you have superpowers, but you still need help because you’re new at the whole supernatural thing. Which character (from a book or tv show) would you choose to be your partner and best friend?

I would pick Doctor John Watson, he seems like someone who would keep me levelheaded.

My Questions For You:

  1. You are in the bookstore and you see someone walking around for an hour looking at all the books looking lost. Finally, you decide to ask them if they need help.They  admit they have no idea what book to read next, what book would you recommend?
  2. Image you get the opportunity to go back in time, maybe a mad scientist has figured out the technology, who knows? Anyway, the only thing is you need to feed the contraption a classic book and you travel to the time that it was written. What book would you feed that machine?
  3. You are in the library and you see someone reading at a table. Then you see the worst thing imaginable…. they are doing your bookish pet-peeve. What are they doing to that poor book?!
