I have been tagged for the Liebster Blog Award again by Sara over at Sara in Bookland!! I always secretly love to get tagged because I get to write about ridiculous things. Fun things. Things that you all probably could have gone your whole life without knowing and it wouldn't have affected your destiny in any way. At all.So. For the Liebster Blog Award, I must answer 11 random questions from the blogger who tagged me, and pass on 11 random questions of my own to some more blogs that I will tag. If you get tagged, you don’t have to participate if you’d rather not.
This is a game, not the 2012 Olympics, people. But it’s really fun, so I would urge you to keep it going!
On to the questions!
Sweet or Savory?
Who’s Your Book Boyfriend?
Muahaha. My book boyfriends tend to shift, but I will always love Jace Wayland from The Mortal Instruments, as well as Jem from The Infernal Devices. I also adore Four from Divergent, Kishan from Tiger’s Quest and Will from Angelfire. Way more than one, I know.
Quite possibly To Kill a Mockingbird. I absolutely adore that book. The Only Alien on the Planet, Journey to the Center of the Earthand The Secret Life of Bees run right behind that. Beach or Mountain?
Mountain. I grew up near and around the mountains, and there are plenty of beaches within the mountains, too. There is absolutely nothing like the smell of fresh pine trees, the scent of wet dirt or the slight panic at seeing bear tracks on the trail. You can scratch that last part. You know what I mean.
Who’s your favorite author and why?
I don’t really know. My favorite YA author is Cassandra Clare – I think that woman is all kindsof genius. My favorite author outside of YA is probably Mark Twain. He’s a mastermind, I tell you!What would you say if you got a chance to meet with him or her?
I would get down on my knees in front of Cassandra Clare and kiss her feet. Okay, not really. I would probably thank her for giving millions of girls and woman alike all over the world Jace Wayland. She should get the Nobel Peace Prize or something. But if I were to meet Mark Twain…I’d probably ask him to adopt me as his godchild. I’d freak out. I love that man.
Why did you start blogging?
I had no purpose in life. HA. Just kidding. I wanted to create a platform for myself as a writer and explore the worlds of the many, many authors out there. It worked out pretty darn good. I’ve got an online business off the ground because of it, as well as extra employment and the publication of my first book.
What’s your favorite weekly meme?
My favorite is actually my own: Indie Monday. I get to meet a ton of awesome, creative peeps from all over the world. Skirts or Pants?
PANTS. I don’t wear skirts. I haven’t really worn a skirt since I was seven years old. Even then I was more prone to wearing jeans and a tee-shirt so I could chase the dog around in the mud or declare war on the local community of wasps. If I find myself having to go to church with the family I will fight tooth and nail for wearing jeans. (This is why I don’t get invited to weddings.)
What are you currently reading?
I’m currently reading many different books (I like to dabble. I’m a chronic dabbler.), but the main ones I’m reading right now are Wings of the Wicked, by Courtney Allison Moulton and What a Boy Wants, by Nyra Dawn. I love the Angelfire series but I don’t really like What a Boy Wants.Describe yourself in 3 words.
Obsessive compulsive reader. ;P
OKAY. That was interesting. I tag the following bloggers for this meme:
Summer Day @ Pride and Princesses Bridget Bowers @ Rants ‘N’ Rambings Victoria @ Confessions of a Twenty Something Fiction Writer Kris @ A Book From Snowy River Kimberlee @ The Element Odysseys Christine Benson @ Christine Benson
