Random Questions You Never Asked

Good Morning Everyone, 

Today I thought I would share a post that I had seen over at Brianne's Blog! I thought the questions were really fun and I love getting to read these type of "Myspace" things to find out more about people! Again I am nosy. 

1. What's Your Favorite Holiday? 
Well I would say Christmas...but my birthday and Christmas kind of go hand in hand in my mind (bday is Christmas Eve) so I will say Halloween! I love dressing up in costume and I love to be scared!

2. If you could spend a week by yourself (no travel companion, just you) anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I am honestly not sure....I suppose on a beach with a stack of good books!

3. You can only have one of the following totally materialistic items; which one would it be?  The house of your dreams, the car of your dreams, the wardrobe of your dreams?
I would go with the House of my Dreams! I'm not really into cars that much and honestly even if I had all the things in my Pinterest wardrobe I would still spend most days in comfy pants and T-shirt. #StayatHomemomprobs


 4. Do you blog most often during the day or at night?
  Usually if I haven't done a mass blogging session then I am doing my blog in the morning when Kyra is eating breakfast!


5. Coffee or Tea?

6. You are forced to give up two of the following; which do you keep?  Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram?

7. Bath or Shower?
Well as much as I would love a deep lovely bubble bath...I will say shower as that is my usual go to because the tub in our house is tiny and not fun. 

8. What's your favorite (something visual that involves admiring other people's talents) concert, or musical, or play, or painting?
Musical! I adore them. Dancing, Acting, Singing...I mean that is the trifecta right? My favorite sick day musical is 7 Brides for 7 Brothers! So fun and silly and beautiful to watch!

Instagram Forever.

Hahahaha....do you even know me? I binge watch ALL THE SHOWS.

Thoughtful Thursday: Books are Love

Good Morning Everyone!

Today I am stealing borrowing a post from Kenzie! I love books as most of you know and I thought that this post was right up my alley and also would be a lot of fun! 

Here we go! 

Author you have read the most books from:
Probably K.A. Applegate, I read the entire series of Animorphs.  

Best sequel ever:
This is a tough one....most of my series I read have lots of books...not just a "sequel" I will say I loved Doctor Sleep which is a sequel to The Shining. 

Currently reading: 
The Furies by Mark Alpert 
 
Drink of choice while reading: 
Cocoa....always cocoa!

E-Reader or physical book: 
Physical books are much preferred however I do love the e-books now that I can check them out instantly from my library!

Fictional character you probably would have dated in high school:
Probably Park from Eleanor and Park Or Atticus from the Iron Druid Series
 
Glad you gave this book a chance:
The Black Jewels Chronicles- I passed them by for SO LONG, but once I read the first one I was hooked. Beautiful Fantasy worlds! 

Hidden gem book: 
Joust by Mercedes Lackey. I've read it many times and it is a beautifully written fantasy. 
Also The School For Good and Evil is a brilliantly written young adult book by Soman Chainani
 
Important moment in your reading life:
When I passed my love of reading to my little brother by reading him the Harry Potter Serious out loud when he was little. I have loved reading from the beginning but seeing him suddenly learn to love it and then become just as voracious a reader as myself made me very proud.

Just finished:
 Doctor Sleep by Stephen King 

Kinds of books you won’t read:
I think that Military History or books along that line are the most difficult for me to really read so I tend to avoid them, but honestly I try to give every book a chance.

Longest book you’ve ever read:
More than likely it is something by George R. Martin. Those are some THICK books! But I honestly have no idea. I rarely check word count. 
 
Major book hangover because: 
This can be summed up by this pin...

Number of bookcases you own:
Eight at the moment, more to come I'm sure!

One book you have read multiple times:
 Oh good lord....I read lots of them multiple times. Other than Harry Potter? Um...The Hobbit. Yep probably The Hobbit.


Preferred place to read:
Either curled in a corner of the couch or else in bed in the dark.

Quote from a book you’ve read that inspires you:

(The best quotes are usually from Children's Books)

Reading regret:
I regret nothing, however I have started not finishing if it sucks!

Series you started and need to finish:
The Inheritance Cycle Series....I haven't read the last one yet...it's on my "To Read" list!!! 

Three of your all-time favorite books:
Please....just three? I'm a series girl. There are no "Most" favorite. That's like picking a favorite child. Honestly....
 
Unapologetic fangirl for:
J.K. Rowling, Stephen King, Laura Levine, Kevin Hearne, George R. Martin

Very excited for this release more than all the others:
The next in the Iron Druid Series.

Worst bookish habit:
Starting multiple books at once, leaving my books all over the house and using about anything as a bookmark. Drives my husband crazy.

Your latest book purchase(s):
 I bought the entire Water Song Series on a whim from Amazon. They are wonderful books though! 
  
Zzz-snatcher book (the last book that kept you up way too late):
Doctor Sleep by Stephen King. Aside from being a page turner it also scared me and left me with haunting nightmares...Thanks for that Mr. King.....

Such a fun post! Hope you all enjoyed as much as I enjoyed filling it out! Also if you wanna be my friend on Good Reads just click!

And the Award Goes to.....

Good Morning Everyone! 

I am happy to report that I was nominated for a Liebster Award by the lovely Natalie from Coral Tinted Perceptions! 

Here are the questions that Natalie asked....and my answers of course!

1.   Who’s your favourite blogger and why? Jeez, starting with a tough question! Well...I will say Natalie because she nominated me for this award! Haha!

 

  2.   What’s your favourite post you’ve ever written, share the link?   I love the confessions posts and they are probably my favorite but also I really LOVE the My day in Gifs post. Gifs are awesome and they are super fun! 

  3.   Kardashians : Love or Hate?  Love to Hate? I dunno I 'm not a huge fan but DAMN those girls are pretty....

  4.   Would you be able to recognise Prince Harry or a fake knock off on a TV show? Yes but this is because I have an obsession with the Royal Family as I am convinced that Prince George will be my son in law someday. Yep I'm crazy. 

  5.   What’s your favourite book and why? This is a tough question....I love so many books....ugh....I can't do this one I'm so sorry....it's like picking a favorite child....

  6.   Biggest Pet Peeve? When people say "Totes" "Cray" "Bae" or any other lazy slang term outside of the internet. It is like nails on a chalkboard. 

  7.   Who do you think could be your best friend if only you two actually met? Jennifer Lawrence, Rebel Wilson, Anna Kendrick, most of my blogging friends that I've never met IRL! 

  8.   Dream holiday destination?  Tahiti- hands down. 

  9.   You can have dinner with any four celebrities, who’s invited? Benedict Cumberbatch, Misha Collins, Chloe Dykstra, and Felicia Day. It would be a dinner of hotness and hilarity. EPIC!!! 

  10.  Why did you start blogging, are the reasons still the same? I started my very first blog for fun, the second for weight loss, and the current one just to keep writing and to write about my life as a newlywed and new mom. Now I just write to write, sometimes I talk about my kiddo, sometimes just life in general, sometimes motivational things to inspire others and myself. It's just a mishmash now! 

  11.What’s your most played song on your iPod/iPhone? on the iPod it is "Here's to Us" by Halestorm and on the iPhone it is "Wagon Wheel" by Old Crow Medicine Show (favorite of the hubby's)
