11 random facts about myself
1) I love watching documentaries about animals.
2) Though very shy, I discovered I can be quite chatty in letters.
3)
4) I'm not that into sports - practicing or watching (see #5).
5)
6) Horror used to be one of my favorite genres, but now it just scares me too much.
7) I tried collecting things (everyone in my family has a
collection) but I just don’t like the idea of buying and buying and buying...
8) I have the worst taste in music. I’m trying to change from pop/rock/electronic music to classical music. It’s just so difficult – pop is like a drug.

10) I’d rather cook meals than desserts but I totally ok with eating both. :)
11) I don’t have a favorite color, but I have favorite color combinations (pink and gray, yellow and blue)
My answers to Rie's questions
1. When did you discover your love of books?
I don't know... I guess ever since I was a child I liked reading a lot.
2. Where do you read the most?
In my bedroom.
3. Can you read whilst listening to music or whilst the TV is on?
No. As a matter a fact, I can't do anything while the Tv or the radio is on (except doing my chores).
4. What do you eat for breakfast?
A smoothie. I just blend whatever fruit I have at home with soy milk.
5. Why did you decide to start blogging?
I really like writing and I wanted to share the things I was reading or studying.
6. Why do you blog about books?
Because it's one of my favorite subjects. When I was in college everyone in my class was discussing the same books - I could discuss it with my friends, eavesdrop on other people discussing it. Then I finished college and suddenly I didn't have all these talks going on. Blogging was a way to connect to other people who like reading.
7. Tea, Coffee or Hot Chocolate?
Uh, that's so difficult. I'd love to answer tea to sound classy, but I definitely drink hot chocolate more.
8. What is your worst habit?
Book habits or habits in general? I'll assume it's a book habit. I have no consideration for a book's feelings. If I don't like it, I'll stop reading. If I don't read it in a year, I'll donate it.
9. Hardback or paperback book?
Paperback - always. Unless it's a book I bought for the pictures, like a coffee table book or an art book, then hardback.
10.Who is your favourite author?
Jane Austen.
11. What do you want to be doing / where do you want to be in 5 years time?
Let's dream big, shall we? I'd like to work by myself, from home.
