Bookdictive Liebster Award Nomination!
Woot!!!!! I got nominated for my first ever Liebster Award by Litha Nelle over at Victorian Soul Book Critiques!
For those of you who are clueless as to what it is, Liebster means "dearest" in German and the award is something bloggers pass on to other bloggers they like or whose blogs they admire. It seems it has been around the blogosphere since about 2010 and appears to be going strong.
This particular Liebster Award has a different variation of the rules:
1. Link and Thank the blogger who nominated you.
2. Answer the 11 questions your nominator asks.
3. Pick 11 other bloggers who have 200 or less followers.
4. Ask the 11 bloggers you nominated 11 questions and let them know you nominated them!
Here are the questions and my answers. Below it is my own list of questions.
1. What is your favorite time of day to read?
My favorite time to read is late at night. I love coming home, getting ready for bed, and curling up with a book or my Kindle until I get sleepy.
2. What makes your favorite book your favorite: the characters, the plot, or something else?
Like every other reviewer out there, my list of favorite books is endless. But I have to say, a longtime favorite of mine, Gone With the Wind (not YA lol) is a favorite because a) It's fantastic historical fiction from the viewpoint of the unpopular side b) It's long and well-written and c) Because Scarlett is the most selfish and yet complex character. You WANT to hate her, and you probably do (I think I do, at least), but at the same time, you love her. You lament her stupid decisions (WHO SAYS NO TO RHETT BUTLER?!) and want to throw things when she ruins EVERYTHING. But in the end, she'll become one of your favorite characters of all time.
3. What is your favorite dessert?
I love fruit desserts: Apple crumble, berry cobbler, etc. But I also love anything chocolate!
4. Do you have a favorite villain? (Literary or otherwise)
Undoubtedly Darth Vader. Anakin Skywalker/Vader, to be exact. Kinda like Scarlett O'Hara, he's complex and I love him because I see what led him to the Dark Side.
5. What three books would you bring to a deserted island with you, if you had everything you needed (food, water, shelter, bookshelves, etc.)?
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; probably my Norton Anthology of Romantic Literature (plenty to read, it's a huge text); and a trashy romance book because, hello, I'm stranded on an island. It's practically a requirement!
6. Which book do you consider underrated and under-read (people don't read it as much)?
Oooo tough one. Currently, I'm trying to get my friends to read Cinder by Marissa Meyer but they won't bite. Same goes for Red Rising by Pierce Brown. Both received five stars from me!
7. If you could travel to another universe (bookish or otherwise), would you stay here or go?
I WOULD TOTALLY GO. K bye!
8. If you could travel back in time once, where would you go, and what would you do?
Scottish highlands before the Jacobite stuff. I went through a terrible Highland Romance phase and devoured like 30 books.
9. Is there a book you think is over-hyped (a lot of people like it, but you don't)?
The Selection series. Poorly developed characters that all have good things happen to them are cleverly concealed behind gorgeous covers.
10. If you could meet any author (living or dead), who would you meet, and why?
J.K. Rowling. She's just...ugh. She's amazing. Brilliant. Fluid and talented writer. She's my idol.
11. Do you judge a book by its cover?
Fo sho! But I love being proven wrong. ;)
Here are my 11 questions that you must answer:
1. When did you first realize that you loved reading?
2. Who is your least favorite literary character of all time?
3. What book-to-movie adaptation do you approve of?
4. How many books do you think you own? (electronic and/or hardcopy)
