I already did a Liebster Award post last year but I thought about doing a Round 2
since both Jay and Yvonne had nominated me in these past weeks and it’s always fun to answer some questions.
Thank you, girls! Before answering their questions here are their blogs: Books byJay and A World Between Folded Pages so please go check them out and of coure,
follow them! :)
The Rules
1. Link
back the person that nominated you
2. Answer

11 questions for the nominees
5. Notify
all nominees via social media/blogs
Since I’ve already
done this before and I know how hard is to come up with 11 questions and 11
nominees, I will only answer Jay’s and Yvonne’s questions. I hope you don’t
mind ^^
JAY’S
QUESTIONS!
1. What is
your favourite genre of music?
Tough question since I don’t have only one. I
enjoy Instrumental music a lot, as well as Symphonic Music (like Nightwish and
whatnot) but I also love listening to music like Imagine Dragons or Passenger.
2. How many
books are on your TBR?
Emm… like 170 something, give or take. I’m happy with
this number since for a long time it was over 200. I know it is a lot but I don’t
mind.
3. What is
your favourite book/series?
HARRY POTTER, hands down!
4. Which
book intimidates you?
Probably Anna
Karenina or Les Misérables. Although
I wanna read both, those many pages scare me a lot.
5. If you
were to be given a book as a gift, which one would you like to receive?
Again,
tough question! But probably The Heirloom Collection of all The Complete Novels
of Jane Austen. Look at it! It’s beautiful! They come with illustrations. It’s
an impressive box-set.
6. Do you
like classics, if so, which one is your favourite?
I love reading classics and
I wanna do it more often. My favourite without a doubt is Jane Eyre but I also need to include The Catcher in the Rye in this.
7. What is
the one thing that you don’t leave your house without? (Other than your phone
or money)
My book, no kidding here. No matter what, I don’t leave the house
without a book even if I know I won’t have time to read it.
8. Where do
you see yourself in 10 years?
I want to be working on a publishing house. That
is my ultimate dream but as long as what I do involves books, I’ll be happy. I
also want to get a PhD in Literature so I hope I’ll be done with that in 10
years time *fingers crossed*
9. What
would you like to do as a living?
Anything book related. But, as I said on
question 8, I would love to be working on a publishing house.
10. What is
your biggest bookish pet peeve?
Dog-eared books…. C’mon, bookmarks exist for a
reason. Broken spines make me cringe but I can deal with that better. Sometimes
it is inevitable breaking a spine… UK paperbacks are the living proof of that!
11.
Describe yourself in 3 words.
Introvert, weird and annoyingly enthusiastic. The
last one means I get so so excited with things I love and then people don’t get
me and I feel alone in the word and yeah…
YVONNE’S
QUESTIONS
1. If you
could interview one author, who would it be?
How am I supposed to pick just
one? That’s not fair! I guess I would love to interview J.K. Rowling.
2. How do
you organize your bookshelves?
I don’t. My bookshelves are a mess. One is
indeed a rainbow, but on the others I don’t follow a system. Two of them are
organize as read/unread and then by size. And then I have books scattered all
over my house. I drive my parents and sisters insane. I need another bookshelf…
alas! There is no more space so yeah.
3. If you
could live the life of any character from any book, who would you choose?
Pufff…
Tyrion Lannister. Odd choice, I know, but I would love to know what is going on
inside his intelligent mind.
4. Which
genre do you read most/least? Why?
My most read genres are fantasy and historical
fiction. Reading about new worlds and magic is what makes me love fantasy so
much and about historical fiction… it’s a good way to know about history but
with made up characters. My least read genre is contemporary. And I do read
quite a few of those, normally during the summer because they are easy reads
and fluffy but it’s not a genre I love very much.
5. What’s
your favourite quote?
“We read to know that we are not alone” William
Nicholson. Funny enough most people believe this was said by C.S. Lewis when in
truth it was written by Nicholson for the movie Shadowlands.
6. What do
you like most about blogging?
Connecting with people who share the love for
reading as much as I do.
7. Who’s
your ultimate book boyfriend? One you’d choose over all the others.
Yes,
Yvonne, this is mean! To answer this I will pick the first character I
considered my book boyfriend. This way is easier. That honor goes to Dimitri Belikov
from The Vampire Academy series.
8. What’s
your opinion on cover changes in series? Does it bother you?
It doesn’t bother
me…. IT INFURIATES ME TO NO END! What’s the need? I will never understand it.
9. You and
your books are trapped in a room when suddenly a zombie walks in and tries to
eat your brain… what’s the first book you’d grab to smash that zombie’s brain?
I can choose so many for that hahahaha but my pick will be 50 Shades of Grey and yes, I’ve read the entire trilogy and yes, I
can say it’s the shittiest thing ever written.
10. What do
you prefer – bookstores or libraries?
I prefer libraries but I cannot use them.
You see, I live in Spain and I read in English and libraries near my town have
no English books so I have to use bookstores, or rather the Internet since
there are two or three English bookstores in Madrid and they aren’t near where
I live so Amazon/Bookdepository it is!
11. If you
could have one supernatural power/ability, what would it be?
Does anyone know
who Piper is? From Charmed? I wanted to be her so badly when that show was on. The
ability to stop time? Yes, please! I will get so much stuff done.
All questions have been answered. I had a lot of fun!
Thank you again girls ^^
