Hello fellow booklovers! I hope you’re all having a wonderful week. I’ve been behind on a lot of blogging posts and I have so many just sitting in my draft. I work on them a little by little every day in between work, breaks, or whenever I can. Once in a while, I’ll stumble on really quick prompts on an easy slow day and I usually do those right away. As for the others, well… I’ve managed to edit, review, and almost finish a few of them, but this is the first one I actually completed.

Today, I’m sharing my 3rd nominee for the Liebster Award. A Million Thank You Hug goes out to my friend Bree over at In Love & Words for nominating me. Sorry it took me ages to do this (about 4 months), but here I am! Be sure to check out her amazing blog and give her a follow!!

Why did you decide to start blogging? I started blogging because I wanted to share my love of reading, rave about my favorite books, and of course, met amazing bloggers like you!

What are your Top 5 favorite romance novels. I don’t think I can pick just 5. Romance is my favorite and I really love books with romance in them. So… I’m going to choose 5 that are Contemporary Romance only… cause if you include sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal, then that would just be way too difficult!

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks, Hopeless by Colleen Hoover, Wait for You by Jennifer L. Armentrout, Recovered by Jay Crownover, and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han (I still haven’t read the last book…)

Who are 3 of your insta-buy authors? Marie Lu, Tahereh Mafi and Marissa Meyer.

What type of blog posts do you like to read the most? I like reading reviews, book/blog tags, book awards posts, and get to know me type of posts.

What type of blog posts do you like to write the most? Same as above. I like writing book reviews and doing tags/awards posts even if it does take me a while sometimes cause they’re really fun.

What is the last book you purchased and why? The last book I purchased (as I’m doing this post), is The Way You Make Me Feel by Maurene Goo. I went to Yallwest two weeks ago and she was there. I wanted to see her again and get my book signed so I bought it at the festival.

What was your favorite blog post that YOU’VE written in 2017? I don’t think I really have a favorite blog post. I guess if I were to pick one, I would have to go with my TTT – Top Ten Favorite Books I Read in 2017.

What do you do for a living? I work for a Property Management Company as an Executive Assistant to the Director of Operations. It’s not the funnest job, but it has its perks — like the down time I get when I finish all my work and I can just chill and read.

Approximately how many books do you read in a week? I think 2 and at most 3. If I didn’t have to work, I definitely think I could read more.

Do you write reviews for every book you read? If not, what determines whether you write a review or not? Ever since I started blogging, yes. I may be a little behind sometimes, but I eventually will post a full review on my blog and Goodreads.

What is your dream job? Well, I’ve had many dream jobs while growing up. I remember wanting to be a teacher, a peditrician, and fashion designer. At this moment, my dream job would probably be to own a new business and be my own boss. I did used to own a small business, Sincerely Polish. I used to make handmade nailpolishes and it was pretty successful. I don’t really know exactly what kind of business at the moment, but something where I can be creative and also allows me to have a lot of reading time. If I can get paid just reading and reviewing… well I’d hop on that in a heartbeat. But, realistically, bills need to be paid.

    • You’re so welcome!!! And I’m doing good… tired from work and the new puppy and you know just trying to catch up on all my reading. LOL

      Thanks for asking. How about you? How have you been? It’s been a while since I’ve been active here. I’m still kind of struggling to find the time to be more present on social media, but I just take it one day at a time lol.

      • Awww, new puppy..having a pet is like having a kid, isn’t it? hehe… I was told so Im always hesitant to get a pet. hehe.

        I’m fine too. So busy writing and though you might see in my WWW posts that I’ve been reading a lot, you can see that most of them are fantasy which is the genre of my novel. So I actually read as a research and to put me in the mood of fiction. hehe..

        And though I post here more often, I don’t really interact with others as much as before. 🙂 🙂 Im glad your doing good. 🙂

      • Yeah it is! We got a maltese and yorkie mix so she’s tiny. She isn’t potty trained yet so yeah I wake up pretty early when she needs to go haha.

        That’s so awesome that you’re reading more. I’m basically working and taking a few mins of break to read. Then I read during my lunch break. I read when I’m Ubering to places. Pretty much any time I can squeeze reading I’ll do it. But, it’s hard. Life happens and as much as I love reading and escaping, I still love being present and spending time with my boyfriend and friends. I mean I don’t go out that much, but it’s nice to be with friends. But when that happens, I’m like out the whole day and it’ll be rude for me to bust out my ereader or a book haha.

        I’ll definitely visit your blog and see what you’ve been reading and such. But I’m happy you’re doing great =)

        Have a wonderful day love!

        XOXO

    • It’s not that bad haha. I don’t think it’s what I want to do forever, but it gets the bills paid, I like working with my coworkers (with the exception of all the higher levels supervisors), and I love the fact that I get some down time. It was definitely way better before when I first started, but a lot of things has been changing and the new supervisors aren’t that great.

      Definitely will read this later on when I have more time.

      Hope you’re having a great day!!!
