blogger – Page 109 – Sincerely Karen Jo

Happy Friday Lovelies! So happy it’s the weekend. This week has been long and blah at work for me. Do you have any fun plans this weekend? I actually don’t know if I’m doing anything fun — there’s cleaning and doing laundry, running errands, and oh yeah packing for my trip/vacation to NEW YORK!!! I’ll be going with my boyfriend, my brother and his girlfriend so it’s like a double date vacation. We’ve already purchased our tickets to see Wicked and visit Lady Liberty. We haven’t completely planned the rest, but I’m soooo excited!!

mysterybloggeraward

This is my second nomination for this award, so I would like to say thank you so much to Marty @thecursedbooks! I’m so grateful for every nomination I receive and you are all absolutely wonderful. That’s why there may be some repeats for the same awards.

The rules…

Put the award logo/image on your blog.
List the rules.
Thank whoever nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
Mention the creator of the award and provide a link as well. (Okoto Enigma)
Tell your readers 3 things about yourself.
You have to nominate 10 – 20 people.
Notify your nominees by commenting on their blog.
Ask your nominees any 5 questions of your choice; with one weird or funny question (specify).
Share a link to your best post(s)

Let’s start with the facts :

1. I LOVE Supernatural. I’ve watched the entire series at least 5 times.

2. I LOVE Mediterranean food. (Well, I just love food in general haha)

3. I LOVE coffee, not for the caffeine (it never works on me and I can sleep minutes after drinking it), but for the taste.

Marty’s Questions

1. What are some of your most favourite movies? Hocus Pocus, The Notebook, LOTR, Harry Potter, Marvel/superhero movies, and Star Wars movies.

2. If you could live in a bookish universe, which one would it be? No fair! I want to live in a lot…but if I could pick one, it’s mostly likely going to be Hogwarts in Harry Potter.

3. Do you have any diverse book recommendations? The Lunar Chronicles, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before Series, and When Dimple Met Rishi are some of my faves.

4. If you could only read one genre in your entire life, what genre would that be? Romance… I’m a romance addict at heart!

5. Dogs or cats? Again…not fair! They’re honestly both so cute and adorable. I’ll have to go with dogs just because I’ve always had dogs and I love being able to take walks or go jogging/running with my dog. (but cats are cool too!)

My Best Post

My Nominations

I’m only nominating 5 in this post because I was nominated for a 3rd time so I’ll have another set of 5 lovely bloggers in that post sometime in the next week or so.

My Questions

If there was a Zombie Apocalypse and you can only take three books with you, which ones would you pick?
If you can time travel, where would you go?
Favorite snack while reading.
If you can have a date with one of your favorite characters, who would you pick and why?
What are some of your favorite T.V. shows?

Thanks again Marty! You’re questions were so fun to answer.

Hope you all enjoyed reading this post.

Let me know in the comments which 3 books you’ll take with you if there was a Zombie Apocalypse. Mines would probably be Hopeless by Colleen Hoover (for when I need a good cry… it’s also a romance and Dean is one of my favorite book boyfriends), Forever Doon by Lorie Langdon and Carey Corp (for when I need some fun), and Winter from the Lunar Chronicles (because it’s one of my favorite series). I’m hoping there’s still internet for a while so that I can download all the books I can fit in my iphone/ipad haha.

Have a great weekend!!

Sincerely Karen Jo

hocus-pocus

October is one of my favorite months. I love seeing the Halloween decorations, dressing up, going to haunted houses/mazes, and watching scary movies at home. Hocus Pocus may not be scary (although it did spook me when I was little), but it’s absolutely one of my all-time favorite movies to watch during this time of the year. It’s nostalgic, a classic, and brings back many good memories. So imagine how excited I was when I saw this on Mandy @bookprincessreviews blog… Beyond ecstatic that even if I wasn’t tagged, I’m going to do it anyway. I mean it’s a Hocus Pocus Tag!!! I’d have to be bewitched to not do it.

THE SANDERSON SISTERS – A GREAT TRILOGY

hocus-pocus-book-tag

The Legend Series by Marie Lu. I love this series so much. I still remember being in tears during those last few chapters. Marie Lu is just an awesome writer and I love The Young Elites trilogy too, but this series was what made me fall in love with her books. She’s definitely one of my auto-buy authors.

WINIFRED SANDERSON – A BOOK WITH A TRULY EVIL FEMALE VILLAIN

winifred

The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. Queen Levana is just the worst and probably the only villain I never liked…not even a little bit.

SARAH SANDERSON – A BOOK THAT UNCANNILY ATTRACTS CHILDREN

sarah

Not sure how to answer this one, but I know a lot of kids seem to like Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs.

MARY SANDERSON – A BOOK THAT IS JUST PLAIN SILLY

mary

Starstruck by S.E. Anderson. This book is just so much fun and had me laughing so much. If you’re interested, you can read my review HERE.

MAX – A BOOK THAT IS TRYING REALLY HARD TO BE COOL, BUT DOESN’T ALWAYS SUCCEED

max

Mr. 60% by Clete Barrett Smith. When I saw this book, I thought the title was kind of cool and interesting so maybe the story would be too. BUT the book just did not work for me. I wanted to like it… I really did, but I was just so annoyed by the story and the characters. By far the coolest thing about the book is the title and you’ll know why if you’ve read.

DANI – A BOOK THAT ISN’T AFRAID TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS

dani

A Messy, Beautiful Life by Sara Jade Alan. I absolutely love this book. It tackles a very sensitive issue, but with realness and humor that left my heart full of hope. You can read my review HERE.

BINX – A BOOK SERIES THAT JUST WON’T DIE

binx

I love Cassandra Clare and The Mortal Instruments and would buy every book in this universe, but I’m just wondering… when will the series really end…

ICE – A BOOK WITH A CHARACTER THAT’S DUMB AS A ROCK

ice

I really can’t think of one right now. I mean dislike a lot of characters, but dumb as a rock…. I just don’t know.

THE BLACK FLAME CANDLE – A BOOK OR SERIES YOU WISH YOU COULD RESURRECT

the-black-flame-candle

The Doon Series by Lorie Langdon and Carey Corp. I absolutely love that series and have been missing everyone and Doon so much. BUT…. I just found out yesterday that it’s going to be turned into a TV series!!! It’ll still be a while, but I’m ridiculously excited to see one of my favorite book series on TV.

HEADLESS BILLY BUTCHERSON -A BOOK THAT’S NOT SO BAD AS PEOPLE MAKE IT OUT TO BE

headless

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. No matter what anyone says about this book or series, I’m always going to love it! This book/series got me back into reading and as cheesy as they are, these books are super fun.

WINIFRED SANDERSON’S SPELL BOOK – A BOOK WITH A MIND OF ITS OWN

spell-book

Vicarious by Paula Stokes. There were so many twists and turn in this book that I never knew what would happen. Just when I thought I had everything figured out… nope I was wrong. I love books that keep you on the edge and this one definitely did not disappoint!
