3 Things About Me:
- I’m left-handed
- I used to play the guitar (not very well though, that’s why I quit 😅)
- I have a brother
I haven’t been blogging for long, but I think my best post is either my Book Blog Newbie Tag or Books That Made Me Cry.
Brooke’s Questions:
A few things that you think are the best about blogging (Such as meeting new people)
I really like that I can talk about anything bookish related that I want besides reviews. I’ve already said this in my first pos and I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but on Goodreads the content that you can do is very limited, which is not something I experience on my blog. Also, it’s a great way to express my creativity and meet other readers 🙂
Name 5 things you couldn’t live without and a little bit why
Oooh, this is tough… hmm…. 5 things? Well, the first two that come to mind are my phone and my computer. I use them for so many things: school, reading, being online… so I couldn’t imagine never using them again.
The second answer is pretty obvious: books! I really don’t know what I would do with my life if I couldn’t read 🤔😆
I definitely couldn’t live without music – I listen to it a lot, whether I’m sad, happy, angry or nervous – since it always makes me feel better. Some of my favourite singers are Shawn Mendes and, as of recently, Joshua Basset!
Finally, this one is gonna sound weird, but….. ASMR. I know a lot of people find it creepy or unnerving, but it personally helps me relax. I sometimes listen to it while I’m reading, though most of the time it’s before I go to bed to “set the mood” if you will, i. e. make me more sleepy.
Name 3 books you will never forget
I’ve already talked about two of these books before on my blog: The Sky Is Eveywhere by Jandy Nelson and The Way I Used To Be by Amber Smith. They’re some of my favourite and they deeply impacted me as a reader and as a person too.
On the other hand, a book I completely despise and stil haven’t managed to erase from my memory is Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman. I have many issues with this novel, but the main one is that, in my opinion, it features an innapropriate age gap relationship between a 17 and 24-year-olds. Besides that, it also has a scene which is famously called the peach scene and that I definitely did not need in my life. Believe me when I say you don’t wanna know what it entails *shudders*.
What is something that you have done, can do, or a place you have been where not many people can do/go?
A couple of years ago I got to go to Disneyland Paris for the first time! It was so beautiful and so much fun and I’m so grateful I was able to have that experience.
A book you really want to buy!
There are so many… starts wishfully thinking about all the beautiful books on my Goodreads TBR, but one that I am dying to get my hands on is Cool For the Summer by Dahlia Adler. It’s a YA contemporary novel with a bisexual MC and a love triangle with another girl and a boy – it sounds like my PERFECT BOOK. Unfortunately, it only comes out in May. However, the moment it’s on sale, I’m for sure buying a physical copy ASAP (side note: is it just me or there are so many amazing books coming out in May??).
I tag:
Cait @ Cait’s Books ┃April @ Booked Till Midnight ┃Jan @ thedoodlecrafter ┃Jess @ crowing about books ┃Lais @ The Bookish Skies ┃Ritz @ Living, Loving and Reading ┃Ella @ ella isn’t reading┃Daniella @ Reading With Daniella ┃Lia @ Chain of Novels ┃Ally @ Ally Writes Things
My Questions:
- What is an assumption people make about you that isn’t true at all?
- What is a movie/TV series adaptation that you think is actually better than the book?
- What is your least favourite character of all time?
- Do you plan any instruments? If not, would you like to?
- What is a book everyone seems to hate but you love?
I hope you enjoyed reading my answers!

I love your answers! Congrats on the award 🥰
How do you display the badges? I haven’t figured that out yet :’)

Thank you!
So it took me a while to figure it out, but it turns that you can only have things on your sidebar if the theme you choose for your blog allows you to have a sidebar. If it does, you do it like this: appearance » widgets » sidebar » add widget » search for image » click on that option » upload image.
Unfortunately, some blog themes don’t have an option to have a sidebar and, in that case, you can only add one with a plug in which you have to pay for (I have no idea how plug ins work though). I hope this was helpful!

I totally agree about being able to talk about bookish things other than reviews! It’s why I started my blog, too! I wanted to talk about so many book-related things, but didn’t have another outlet for that
