Hi, everyone! In one of my last posts, I asked you to leave me some questions for me to answer in honour of reaching 100 followers on my blog. Thank you so much to those who did! I hope you enjoy reading my answers ๐
And thank you again for 100 followers!!
Brooke asked:
- Favourite book tropes
I’m actually planning to do a whole post on this, but some of my favourites are enemies to lovers and fake dating ๐
- Any bookish pet peeve
A ship that started with cheating! This happens so often in YA and I find it so unnecessary and frustrating ๐ฉ
- A food/dessert you love
Vegetarian lasagna!!
April asked:
- A book you wish you could read for the first time again?
Some Other Now by Sarah Everett! Will I ever shut up about this book? ๐ค Sure, when everyone’s read it ๐
- Favorite dessert?
Wafer cake – it’s one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten ๐
- Why did you start blogging?
I wanted to have a place where I could talk about anything related with books and I’d thought about creating a Youtube channel, but I knew if I did it, it would be a very long time until I had the guts to. So then I thought about starting a blog and researched a bunch on how to set up a website and whatnot and then did it! I had no idea the blogging community was so big and still thriving until I created a blog myself.
Ritz asked:
- Favorite subject at school?
Might sound weird if you are a native speaker, which I’m not, but English it’s is. I’ve always had a knack for languages and in December of last year I wrote my CPE (Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English) exam so I don’t have to pay much attention in English class to have a good grade.
- Favorite genre? (for tv shows, movies, books, etc.)
For books it’s definitely contemporary and for movies and series it’s fantasy and comedy.
- Favorite food?
Vegan burger ๐คค
Jan asked:
- Whatโs your zodiac sign? (If you have one)
I’m a Cancer!
- Marvel or DC?
I have a small confession… I’ve only watched two or three super hero movies so I wish I could answer this question, but I have no idea ๐ฌ
- Fantasy or sci fi or contemporary?
Contemporary all the way!!! (although i really like fantasy too)
- Do you like to travel?
I do! Three years ago, I went on a road trip to a few European countries and it was such a cool experience ๐
Rania asked:
- Whatโs your favourite cuisine?
Honestly, probably my own country’s, Portuguese cuisine. But at the same time, I haven’t tried that many cuisines, so take that with a pinch of salt.
- Least favourite book tropes?
The “I’m not like other girls” and the surprise pregnancy tropes.
- Whatโs one place you really want to travel to?
I would really like to go to Rome. I’ve been to Italy once and I thought it was so beautiful and culturally rich (and the food was delicious!!).
Riddhi asked:
- If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
For the longest time, I wanted to live in London. Now, I don’t really know anymore. I think I still need to travel a lot more until I can decide on a place.
- What are your pet peeves?
People who constantly stop walking in the middle of a crowded flight of stairs to talk to someone. I swear there are so many people who do this at my school and it’s so annoying!! I have classes to attend!! Also, loud chewing.
- Would you ever end up in jail? Like for some small prank or something?
This is such a fun question! Maybe for like, I don’t know, shoplifiting something? That sounds so bad, but it would be something super cheap from an unethical company. For some reason, I feel like that would be kinda thrilling (obviously, not something you should do, but this is hypothetical, okay?)
- Whatโs your favourite colour?
Blue ๐
- If your life was a movie, what kind of movie would it be?
I took a Buzzfeed quiz (what’s new? ๐) and it said my life would be a horror movie? Ummm, what?? I have no idea how it turned out like that. In my opinion, it would probably a coming of age story, cause, you know, I am a teen.
Ananya asked:
- Whatโs the best thing about being a book blogger?
Interacting with other bloggers! You are all so creative and kind. Not being active for only one week made me miss your posts SO MUCH.
- Whatโs your pet peeve?
I already answered this question ๐
- Which country would you like to visit after this pandemic ends?
Greece ๐ฌ๐ท
Aarushi asked:
- Do you prefer series or standalones?
Why are you making me choose????? ๐ญ After much deliberation, I think I’ll go with series just because some of my favourite characters of all time are part of series.
- Your favorite shows/movies?
Favourite shows – The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, How I Met Your Mother and probably Shadow and Bone when I finish it. Favourite movies: The Fault in Our Stars, Maze Runner and Twilight – they’re my comfort movies (I know Twilight is not particularly good, but it’s super entertaning so ๐โโ๏ธ)
- Your favorite holiday?
I don’t have one ๐คทโโ๏ธ When I was younger, it was Christmas but with time, it’s lost its magic, you know?
- Whatโs a book that you think would make a really good movie?
Vicious by V. E. Schwab would be such a great movie!!
Joy asked:
- What is the book that got you into reading?
The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson – the first standalone that made me go “wow, reading is freaking awesome!”
- What is the last book you bought and why did you buy it?
The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon – I bought it because I’ve heard great things about this author and I want to read her YA contemporary Today Tonight Tomorrow.
Tell me something good that happened to you this week in the comments below!

Congratulations on 100 followers! I loved your answers, and I’d totally be down for a vacation to Greece after the pandemic, too! Sunshine and ancient ruins sound really appealing after a year of going nowhere ๐ And I haven’t tried that many foods from Portugal, so since they’re your favorite, maybe I need tp remedy that… ๐ค Also, I totally agree on the cheating turning into a relationship trope ๐คฎ

Congratulations on 100 followers!! It’s an important milestone. Hopefully there are tens and hundreds and thousands more to come๐
My one of the favourite tropes is Enemies to Lover romance. There’s something about the change in the opinion and the endless mind war that I love.
I would certainly prefer series over standalones. The length makes us much acquainted with the characters and it seems like we ARE the character itself. But I can see why you’d prefer standalones. When a series just drags on and on and on ….. it’s too annoying and frustrating. Ugh!
This is an amazing Q and A. It’ll be lovely if you do more.

I totally get you on the enemies to lovers trope.
I can see why you would prefer series, they can be very enjoyable if you really love the characters.
