🍃 Hi, guys! I hope you’re having a WONDERFUL day, full of good readings and magical moments.❤️ Today I feel SO honored to return with a new book award, which I’ve been nominated for. You know that I’m catching up with my tag & awards, so I hope you understand, I am slowly getting there, I promise and, meanwhile, I hope you enjoy with me and we can share a little more to get to know each other better. I have been nominated for “The Awesome Blogger Award” for, in fact, the AWESOME Marie | Drizzle & Hurricane books | who I adore with all my heart because she’s an adorable and wonderful person but also someone who respects and admires a lot as a blogger for her incredible content, surely you already know who she is because she deserves ALL the love she receives and even more, but if you don’t then you have to visit it, I couldn’t recommend her blog enough, I’m sure you’ll love it! 🥰
This is a super new award for me, I’d never heard of it or seen anyone do it, so I feel very happy and excited to have been nominated. I’ll be answering some questions about myself, bookish & no-bookish related, so I hope you like it, enjoy it and of course, leave me all your thoughts in the comments, I LOVE to talk to you. 😍 So without further ado … LET’S START! 🍃
The award was created by Maggie @Dreaming of Guatemala. This is an award for the absolutely wonderful writers all across the blogging world. They have beautiful blogs, are kind and lovely, and always find a way to add happiness and laughter to the lives of their readers. That is what truly defines an awesome blogger.

🍃 What’s an underrated read you’d recommend EVERYONE to read? 🍃
You know that I LOVE to talk about underrated books because I have many that I love. In fact, I have a post talking about my favorite underrated series, in case you want to check it out. And this time I’ll choose The Grace Year by Kim Liggett because although it was quite mentioned at the time, then kind of disappeared from the radar and I haven’t seen anyone talking about it, so I want to mention it because it really deserves it, it’s AMAZING.
It’s an absolutely heartbreaking story of a society where women must go through atrocious things and it’s about a revolution within this society. There are very strange traditions and customs happening, so if you like atmospheric and creepies stories, you can’t miss this one. It has such a powerful message behind, I really can’t believe there aren’t more people talking about it, deserves more love.
🍃 Do you like book series, or do you prefer standalone reads? 🍃
Being honest, I really don’t care if it’s a series or standalone, if it sounds good, I’ll read it lol. On the one hand, I like standalone books because you know you’re reading something that has a conclusion, you know? and it’s very satisfying, but on the other hand, I love series because if you like the plot and the characters, you can enjoy them much longer, even so, I prefer to read series when several books have already come out because I hate to wait. 🤓
🍃 What are some of your favorite book-to-movie (or tv show!) adaptations? 🍃
I wanted to put aside the movies of Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Maze Runner & Narnia because although I love them all, they’re always very mentioned, so I wanted to give rise to another 4 that I LOVE. Of course, I have A LOT more, I love watching movies, so I think it would be fun to make a full post on this topic! 😍
🍃 Do you have any reading goals for this year? 🍃
Well, I have a whole post talking about my goals for this year, but some of them are reading 70 books & reading some popular old series
🍃 What’s your favorite thing about your book blog? TIME TO SHOWER YOURSELF WITH LOVE 🍃
Oh, WOW, I’ve never thought about it … it’s SO hard when you have to talk about yourself lol. I honestly love my blog a lot, I know it’s not perfect and I still need to grow in many aspects, but I really appreciate my way to get where I am and every day I like it more. I think one of the things I hope to convey to you is that this is a relaxed place to talk about books and other topics. I also spend a lot of time editing my posts, so they look pretty and easy to read, so I hope to be accomplishing my mission. 🥰
🍃 What’s your favorite place to interact with the bookish community? (comments, twitter, instagram…) 🍃
Any place is the right place to interact, but right now I enjoy Twitter and here in my comments or on other people’s blogs, where I LOVE to comment. Maybe one day I’ll expand my horizons and feel confident enough to have a Bookstagram, but it must be something that I do and feel’s right for me, you know? … I’m a perfectionist, so if I’m not sure that I could give 100% of myself for something I prefer to wait. For now, I’m happy with the interaction I have with you & I hope you’re happy as well 😊
🍃 Do you have a favorite song? 🍃
I don’t think I have a favorite song because I have about 200 lol, so I’m putting here the one with which I am most obsessed right now and I can’t stop listening to 💃🏻
🍃 What are some of your favorite bloggers (bookish or not)? 🍃
I have like a love-hate feel for these kinds of questions because I don’t want to leave anyone out, so I’ll mention some of my faves book blogs, but this is not all of them, ok?. If you want to see me expand my love for incredible posts, I’m making a series every month where I share my favorite posts around the blogosphere and thus express my love. 👏🏻
Some of my fave blogs are Sprinkles of Dreams | The Orangutan Librarian | Bookmark Your Thoughts | Drizzle and Hurricane books | Whimsy Pages | Pages Unbound | Howling Libraries | Caitlin Althea & Local Bee Hunter’s Little Nook
🍃 If you could live any place in the world, imaginary or not, where would it be? 🍃
I would live in London, no doubt, even though I’ve never gone I feel that it’s my place in the world. I’d love living there and maybe one day I will, why not, right? I LOVE LONDON!
🍃 Describe your perfect reading nook! 🍃
Oh, I LOVE reading nooks SO MUCH. Perfect for me would be a cozy reading nook with a gray armchair & white and blush pink decorations. I would also love plants around and obviously a lamp … I LOVE when they’re near a window as well and the breeze goes inside. That sounds ideal to me. 😍
Questions
(I’m cheating and I’m using Marie’s questions too, I hope you don’t mind, honey. ❤️ I really don’t have time to do mine right now & I LOVE Marie’s questions, so I think it will be fun to know what you think!)

Thank you for the tag, Sofii! 💖💖 I haven’t visited London either, but I really feel that I’ll love it there lol. And probably Ireland. 🤭 My favorite place to interact with people is WordPress, but I love Twitter too (but I’m way too anxious that I barely ever tweet lol). I loved your answers and I know for a fact that I’m going to enjoy answering these questions!
