Favourite Blog 
I know I'm very, extremely biased, but I have to go with Kaitlin over at Liber Amoris!!! She's one of my closest friends so I'm always super excited when she posts an update.
Aside from Liber Amoris, I'll go with A Daily Cloud because I love Atlas' posts and her writing style is super easy to read. I love seeing her favourites every month and it's a very-well run blog! She has a very similar reading style to me so it's great to be able to receive so many recommendations for things- not only books but TV shows, movies, music and other things! (Atlas is also super nice).

Ten facts about me

    1. My favourite authors are Jennifer L. Armentrout and Sarah J. Maas. If I was ever in a room with both of them in... I think I'd faint. Or throw up.
    2. I play mediocre piano.
    3. I'm going to be studying Media Studies, English Language and Sociology in college this September.
    4. As well as writing novels, I love writing poetry and actually have a massive collection of all my poetry over my life (most are very depressing, though).
    5. My three favourite TV shows in existence are (in order): The Vampire Diaries, F.R.I.E.N.D.S, The Walking Dead.
    6. My favourite colour is black. I'm not a goth but I just like the depth and simplicity of the colour black.
    7. My favourite season is spring.
    8. My favourite place in the world is New York (cue Alicia Keys!!!).
    9. I know the entire Hamilton soundtrack off by heart.... I can even rap Guns and ships. (Hamilton the musical, I'm talking about if you have no clue).
    10. My favourite accent is an Irish accent. I'm British but that's just boring- I could die happy listening to a soft Irish accent.

Answering questions
These were the questions that Sofia over at Book Inklings asked for me to answer! Let's get to it!

1. What author or book/series got you into reading?
For me, it will always be either The Soul Screamer series by Rachel Vincent or the Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter. I read these books years and years and years ago and they still remain some of my favourite books. I read before these books but never at the addicted fangirl level I am now and it's all down to these books.

2. What music do you like to listen to when you read?
That's a tricky one for me; it changes depending on the book, what mood I'm in and what music I love at that moment. Usually it will include some of these artists which I can highly recommend and will link Youtube playlists on their name: Imagine Dragons, You Me At Six, Switchfoot and ZZ Ward.

3. If you could ask an author to write your book, who would you choose? 
Well, ultimately the dream is to become an author myself one day but, for any reason I couldn't write one, I'd want Jennifer L. Armentrout to write my book. She's one of my favourite authors and her books are always extremely funny, action-packed, kick-ass and have many fit guys in. It'd be a win-win situation.

4. Pirates or Ninjas? 
Totally ninjas, though I have no idea why. They're just cooler I guess (though I'd make an exception fort Captain Jack Sparrow).

5. If you could give all your books to someone or several people, who would they be?
I'd never want to part with my beautiful babies but... I suppose I'd give them to Kailtin over at Liber Amoris because, as well as being like my best friend, I know she'd take care of them.

6. Cats or dogs?
CATS!!! I feel like cat people are severely outnumbered by dog people in this world and something needs to change! I have a beautiful cat called Belle and I wouldn't trade her for any dog in the world.

7. How has reading changed your view of the world? 
Wow... that's a loaded question.
Every book gives me a different insight or opinion on so any important subjects and situations going on in the world- reading is invaluable and it's completely opened my eyes on how we all perceive the world.

8. What if I told you, that we were actually in a book?
I'd demand to sneak a peak at the ending. That's just the type of person I am- I hate the unknown.

9. Who's your OTP?
Like one? Only pick one?
Tod + Kaylee (Soul Screamers)  
Delena (The Vampire Diaries)  
Feyre and spoiler-if-you-haven't-read-ACOMAF-you'll-know-who-I-mean-if-you've-read-it ;) (A Court of Thorns and Roses)

10. Books or movies?
Books, Anyday. You get to know the characters more, you know? And the story arc and character growth is so much more complex and beautiful!

11. Who you gonna' call? 
I feel like the right answer is Ghostbusters but I've never seen it so... my mum. I'd call my mum- I love my mum *shrugs*.
