MY ONE YEAR BLOGVERSARY!

Hey everyone! I can’t believe it is already April 2019 and that it has been one entire year since I started this blog!

I can finally say that this little blog is a year old and that I am a creator of something that’s lasting and amazing!

To celebrate this blogversay, I have decided to do a Q&A session and I had asked you all for questions – so here we go:

---

 

What’s your favourite location you’ve ever travelled to?

I think the place I loved the most was London, United Kingdom. I have been there twice – once with my school for an exchange programme when I was 13 and once with my family when I was 14 and a half years old.
Both the times, I had a lot of fun and made a lot of memories that I cherish up to this day. Honestly, I think those two were my favourite vacations ever!

Do you have a bookish OTP?

Yeah, there are so many to choose from so I’ll list a few of them here!

Feyre and Rhysand from ACOTAR
Aelin and Rowan from Throne of Glass
Percy and Annabeth from PJO
Stella and Michael from The Kiss Quotient
Penny and Sam from Emergency Contact
Anna and St. Clair from Anna and the French Kiss
Magnus and Alec from The Mortal Instruments

If you could give your just-starting-out-blogging self one piece of advice, what would it be?

I think it would be to go and join Discord and make friends. Honestly, Discord has become such a safe haven for me now and I can only imagine the difference it would have made to have had it in my life from last year!

What blog post(s) are you most proud of?

Ahh, This is such a hard question! I think it’s most of my discussion posts since I love writing them…

So, I’ll list my top 3 posts:
1. Bibliophile’s needs 
2. Types of Book Endings 
3. Getting out of a Reading Slump

Has blogging changed the way you read/think about books?

I’d have to say yes. Before, reading was more of a passive process for me but now I have a lot of thoughts about each thing that happens in the book and I think all this changed because of reviewing the books.

To be honest, I love this change because it makes the book feel more intense and alive then it felt before.

What is your favourite thing to come from blogging?

It is definitely all the amazing friends I have made in the bookish community. I love them all to bits and they are what makes this all an overall amazing experience!

Which book will you always deny you’ve read?

If I answer this question won’t I be admitting to having read it?
But well, sometimes I think we all need to admit things so here it is…

After by Anna Todd

Honestly, I do not know why I ever read it… It was probably because it was the it thing at my school and you had to read it to be cool. So, I did read about all the toxic relationship and came to a consensus that it was all shit.

Did you face any particular challenges as a young blogger?

I don’t really think so… Honestly, I feel a little weird sometimes and distant some ways but that’s not because of how anyone else acts.

Thankfully, the bookish community is very accepting and treats even those younger to them by a huge amount of respect and values their opinion.

What is your inspiration for the blog? Why did you start it?

I love books and I wanted a platform to share my thoughts on them, to find other people who loved to read as much as I did and that’s what really motivated me to start my blog.
That and the amount of excess time I had in my hands since I didn’t have school.

Which blog posts are your favourite to write?

I love to write discussion posts the most since I have a lot of views on everything!

I also love writing book reviews when I have very strong feelings about a book.

And that were all the questions!

I want to end by thanking all of you who are here and who have supported me in this incredible journey! I am so excited to move forward finally completing one year and moving into my second one.

It feels surreal and I can’t believe it. I just know that I couldn’t have done it without you all. You all were here, liking and commenting on my posts, or even viewing them making me feel loved and happy. You all are the reason my blog has come so far and I just want to thank you all!

I love you all.

So, why don’t you tell me more about yourself in the comments below? Who are your OTPs? What type of posts do you like to write? And which one of your posts is your favourite? I’d love to read them!
