I didn’t know what to do for my first blog post so I decided to be original and do this tag xx
1. Why did you start this blog?
I don’t have any in real life friends that read and it makes me really sad!! I want to talk about books that I love to people who’ve read them and have fun.
Another reason I’m starting this blog is because I want to start reading more critically and stop being a low-key passive reader. I think reviewing books is such a great way to dissect books and really understand the way books are written etc.
2. What are some fun and unique things you can bring to book blogging?
Uhhh I mean I’m adding another queer voice to the community and that’s great. But honestly I’m just doing this for my own enjoyment and if people want to engage with me I’d be so delighted but if not then it’s whatever.
3. What are you most excited for about this new blog?
I want to meet friends!! Slide into my dms!!! Hit me up!! I’m lonely!!!!
4. Why do you love reading?
Reading really takes me out of my head which is so necessary for me to cope. It gives me so many different perspectives on things which is truly invaluable and makes me (and everyone who reads) a more empathetic and kind person. Also, it’s just a fun time. It doesn’t always have to be that deep. Sometimes I just want to relax.
5. What book or series got you into reading?
I have lots of answers to this question because I went through phases of reading everyday and not reading for years when I was growing up. When I was a kid I really loved those Rainbow Magic books and my mom would read them to me and my sister every night. As I got older I really loved Jacqueline Wilson’s books. Then in my pre-teen years I picked up The Fault in Our Stars and loved it (i know i know) and from there read loads of John Green books. Then, I found The Hunger Games and Divergent and Harry Potter it all took off from there.
6. What questions would you ask your favourite authors?
I wouldn’t ask them specific questions but I really just want to sit down with my favourite authors (specifically Donna Tartt) and just listen to her talk about whatever she wanted to talk about.
7. What challenges do you think starting a blog will be the hardest to overcome?
I know I’ll find it difficult to be consistent when school starts up again but I’ll do my best. Other than that, it’s going to be hard for me to remember to take notes for the books I’m reading that I’m writing reviews for.
8. When did you start reading?
I probably starting reading when I was like five or something but I definitely took years out of reading when I was growing up like I said before. I don’t think I started consistently reading until I was fourteen or fifteen.
9. Where do you read?
I always just read in my bed or on my bed with a blanket. I never read where there’s too many people around because I get distracted way too easily.
10. What kind of books do you read?
I read a wide variety of genres and I go through phases of wanting to read new YA releases or wanting to read backlist stuff. In general though, I love YA contemporary and fanatsy a lot but I also read a lot of literary fiction and classics and historical fiction and stuff.
Okay those my responses to the newbie tag. I hope you enjoyed reading even though I feel like it was pretty boring rip. Bear with me as I get my grips with this WordPress thing. Anyways, I hope you have a great day.
A. Rose ❣
