The Sunshine Blogger Award, Q&A
I was tagged by Chiara at https://delicateeternity.com/
I’m not going to tag anyone, but I will answer the questions from Chiara. Feel free to answer any of these in the comments!
1) What made you start book blogging? I used to be in an online book club, so I started the blog with a fellow member (and some other members helped out too). We actually focused more on music at first, but it didn’t take long before we added in books!
2) What’s the last five star book you read? Saga Vol. 6 and Noble Hops by Layla Reyne.
3) What did you want to be when you were five years old? Oh gosh, I’m not sure. Probably a teacher. I feel like I had that written down a lot on past school assignments growing up.
4) If there was a natural disaster coming and you could only save five books in your house which five books would you save? This is a tough one! Does my Harry Potter box set count as one? If not, I think I’d go with Prisoner of Azkaban and Half-Blood Prince for Harry Potter, since I love those two. Then I’d choose The Perks of Being a Wallflower, this cool edition of Oscar Wilde short stories I own, and whatever I’m currently reading (hey, I have to finish it!)
5) What’s the last book blog you followed? I’m not sure! I feel like I’m always finding new book blogs and I hate calling people out and forgetting about someone else, so I’ll just say “lots of them!”
6) If you had to give a presentation on any topic what would you give it on? I’ve given presentations on all sorts of things, but I always love talking about books, so I’d go with that. Maybe YA books that adults should read? Or vice versa, Adult books that teens should read?
7) You can interview any (living) author in the world. Who do you interview? I mean, I kind of have to say J.K. Rowling. The Harry Potter series really were a huge part of my childhood and it would be amazing to just meet her, let alone interview her!
8) If you could see any book turned into a perfect adaptation which book would you want it to be? I think Vicious or the Shades of Magic trilogy by V.E. Schwab would be awesome movies if done well!
9) What’s a TV show that got cancelled that you wish had gone on for longer? A lot of shows I’ve loved have been canceled after one season. The most recent is Kevin (Probably) Saves the World. I loved that show!
10) What’s an upcoming book you’re really looking forward to reading? There are always tons of books that I want to read; it’s tough to choose just one. However, I am really excited about The Bookish Life of Nina Hill which comes out on July 9th of this year.
Kevin Probably Saves the World is a show I wanted to watch, but didn’t. 🙁 Guess I”ll have to watch for it on Netflix or something? Not that I have Netflix. I love these types of posts, but never have time to do them! It’s fun getting to know about each other. Only being able to pick 5 books to save is like impossible! I mean, could I save my e-reader? 🙂
Things were simpler when I was a kid. When I was 5, I played house a lot, so I guess I wanted to be a housewife. Ha! The new Waxman book looks really good. Hope we both get to read it.
I didn’t realize you’d started this blog with friends from an online book club. How fun!
Oh wow, I would love to see Vicious adapted for the big screen. That could be amazing!
Fun getting to know you better and I love that you would save the H.P. series, I would too and my Austen books as well I think! 😉
Great idea to choose JK Rowling as an author to interview. She’s such a genius!
Lovely answers! I would love to see that presentation on YA books adults should read, and vice versa, that would be SO cool! 😀
I am looking forward to The Bookish Life as well, hopefully it will be a fun one. Oh gosh if I could only save five books?? I would definitley grab Gone With the Wind and 11-22-63 and then I don’t know…. I think I would cheat and grab my Kindle.
I haven’t been much of a TV watcher for years but I’m still bitter about My So-Called Life being cancelled after just one season. That was in the 90’s… you’d think I’d let it go by now. LOL
I am back! We took a little family trip (compliments my blogging) and I am ready to roll 🙂
I guessed it would be Harry Potter that you saved. I think my 11 year old would do the same!
I wanted to be a teacher too! I used to play teacher in front of all my stuffed toys. LOL.
Interesting, I think Vol. 6 was my least favorite of the Saga books. I definitely had times as a kid when I wanted to be a teacher too! And it’s always fun to learn how people got started blogging 🙂
It would be hard to pick five….though Mercedes lackey would be high on my list
If you could see any book turned into a perfect adaptation which book would you want it to be? I guess it would be The Farm by Tom Rob Smith, I think this would make a great film if done right!
I agree boxed sets should totally count in that 5..now carrying them may be another problem.
I know you love Harry Potter books, I really should try reading them someday! My brother absolutely loves them too. Haha, I think the box set should count as just 1 book! 😉

It was great getting to know you better and know your likes and dislikes what your interested in.
For me, I’d love to see them do Vampire Academy justice. The movie that came out was awful and didn’t represent the characters or their story at all.
Love this! I say HP counts as one. I have a few versions of Alice in Wonderland that I’d save. LOL. I need to see The Lunar Chronicles become a TV show or movie. And I’m sad that Pan Am went off the air as fast as it did! Firefly, too!
Fun questions and answers! Saving only five books would be hard! I love that you included the one you are currently reading though, makes sense, gotta finish it!
I would have a hard time picking books to save XD
This was so fun to read! I love that you said you’d grab the book you’re currently reading–I feel the same way. I have to finish it! Would it be cheating to say I’d take my Kindle? Ha!
Great post! Potter would be a few of my answers as well. I mean who doesn’t adore Potter with their whole heart and soul?
I love this tag so much! 🙂 Great answers!!
Great article, nice to read.
I need to read some VE Schwab!! I’ve heard such good things. And I need to finish Saga. I have all of the books except the last. So I need to get on that! 🙂 XO – Alexandra

I love these Q&As! I haven’t read a five-star book since I read Neil Gaiman’s Stardust in November. I’m hoping to have one or two in the next few weeks though. J.K. Rowling would be an interesting interview. I’d tune in for that!
It’s so weird but I don’t remember want I wanted to be when I grew up. I’m sure it had something to do with animals though lol

I really like to see The Percy Jackson & Heroes of Olympus books made into movies/tv show that ACTUALLY represents the books. The Percy movies were just bad…
I don’t know what books I’d save. I’ve reached a point where if it’s on my book physical bookshelf, it’s there for a reason (aka I LOVE it).
