  • Nominate 11 other bloggers, with your own set of questions.
  • Tag your chosen 11 bloggers, and don’t forget to tell them as well!

Michelle’s Questions 

  1. Biggest Bookish pet peeve? People who borrow books and never give them back or take long to return them and when they do, there are stains, folded pages, or the books are in really bad shape.
  2. Favourite scent? I don’t really have a particular favorite scent, but I do like light floral ones. Nothing too overpowering cause I’m very sensitive.
  3. Favourite bookish item? I love bookish totes and candles.
  4. An author whom you would buy all their books? Just to name a few — Marie Lu, Tahereh Mafi, Marissa Meyer, Colleen Hoover, Kasie West, and
  5. Favourite place to read? I read pretty much anywhere and whenever, but my favorite place will always be in the comfort of my own bed.
  6. What are your other hobbies aside from reading? Does going to Disneyland count as a hobby?!?! LOL Anyway, I like to bake whenever I get the chance and being crafty.
  7. What was the deciding factor that made you want to start book blogging? Just wanted to talk about my favorite books and meet awesome people like you!
  8. What advice would you give to aspiring book bloggers? Remember to have fun with what you’re doing, be positive, spread the love, and meet as many amazing book bloggers.
  9. Read or write? Why? I would love to write a book someday, but I’m too much of a perfectionist and can never make it past the first few pages, so definitely read. I love discovering new worlds, making friends, and having as many book boyfriends as I want.
  10. Favourite fiction world? And why? Sooo many, but it always comes down to the Harry Potter Universe.
  11. Your all time favourite fictional character? I can’t pick just one… I have so many favorites for different reasons, but some faves are Linh Cinder, Hermione Granger, Katniss Everdeen, Juliette Ferrars, and Adelina Amouteru,

  • Share 7 facts or things about yourself.
  • Nominate up to 15 bloggers that you admire and inform the nominees.

 


Seven Facts About Me 

  1. I love Disney – I think most of you know this about me. I’m an annual pass holder for Disneyland and if I can, I try to go at least once a month. I love everything about that place and meeting the characters.
  2. I love Food – I’m such a foodie and love eating at different places and trying new things. My favorite types of food are Mediterranean and Mexican Cuisine. I also really love seafood and steak.
  3. I love Baking – I haven’t done this in a while, but I love to bake cupcakes, cookies, and French macarons. I’ve done a few others, but those are the ones I like to do the most.
  4. I love watching scary movies (even if I have to watch them by myself). The thrill from being scared is just the best feeling ever.
  5. I used to have a Small Business. I handmade nail polishes and sold them online. My brand was Sincerely Polish and it was pretty successful during the 3 years I did it. It was just really tiring and stressful running a small business while working full time, so I sadly had to let it go. Maybe sometime in the future I’ll go back to it… who knows. Here’s one of my creations. I also still have my Instagram for Sincerely Polish if you want to check it out, but I’ve been inactive for more than 1 year. 5672ff426b305880466bba88bec49e15
  6. I don’t have a favorite singer, band or type of music. I listen to pretty much anything that I can connect with and makes me feel good. Sometimes it’s rap, pop, rock, country classical, or jazz. Just depends on my mood. I do however have favorite songs.
  7. I’m deathly afraid of being bitten by a shark and being in the ocean. Just thinking about what’s in the ocean scares me. I can lounge around the beach, but I won’t swim out. I do like looking at the waves and just enjoying the scenery. But if I can, I would definitely avoid getting into the ocean. That being said, it might surprise you that I’ve actually gone surfing several times, helmet diving, jet skiing, sailing and snorkeling. I may be afraid and not too fond of the ocean, but I like being adventurous and doing activities that seem fun and exciting.
