Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens. ~The Shadow of the Wind

It's Time Again To Serenade A Great Blogger!


I hope you'll join me in serenading this young, smart and beautifully talented blogger, Aly, from fantasy4eva ~ when you read through her interview, I guarantee you'll be blown away by her depth of character and devotion to not only reading but to the authors who write the books. Thank you Aly for honoring me with your time and sincerity. You are truly a neat person to know!

What do you do when you're not blogging or reading?
When I'm not blogging or reading, i try to make that ME time which can be hard to focus on sometimes when your focusing on other things, this ME time will mostly consist of catching up with the latest with friends and gossip, making the effort to get to know new people, and spending more time with the fam as i can pry away from all that, because i can be a bit of a loner i have always preferred it that way even when people have tried reaching out to me, so when I'm not procrastinating or reading its nice just to catch up with those around you. Oh and I'm a big lover of Anime well the love has just returned and I'm constantly babbling with a mate of mine who is a lover to, you do not want to see our convo when we are talking Anime we a crazy lol "OMG no way!!" "Holy sheez are you serious give me that link women!" yes we talk a little something like that crazyyyy i know hehehe but we love it =) 

Describe your favorite place to read and why you love it so much.
You know a lot of people can describe various places, but with me i haven't read in a lot of different places , my reading mostly pretty much goes on in my room, its the most peaceful place i know, but i can tell you the dream worthy places i can imagine loving. I can imagine reading at a beach something about lying on the beach whilst reading just sounds lovely, i would like to read under the stars as corny as it sounds just being around nature and looking up at the stars in the dark sounds kind of magical , you cant see stars here anymore maybe that's why the thought is so appealing to me? i don't know i have a big imagination hahaha.   

What is something we don't know about you and haven't been able to read in your "About Me" section?
 Oh wow hmmm this is a toughie, OK here it goes, ... i don't believe in love, I might have hinted it through a review maybe? but its not mentioned in my About Me section because i don't know how to go about it. So why don't i believe in love? Even this is hard to question, maybe i don't have faith in it? Where does the boundary from liking someone to really liking to loving someone start and begin. What does it mean if you love someone and what does it involve? I just don't understand it. I think people are to quick to say I'm in love when they probably don't understand the concept themselves. I guess for me to ever believe in it i would have to experience it and i doubt it because i think the majority of all men unless I'm proved otherwise are just bad news. Stay away! but hey if you really like someone or think they are the one then i congrat you because you are both very lucky, i don't have anything against anyone i just don't have much faith in men. So there you go something you didn't know lol  =)

If you could invite 3 authors over to your home (ANY authors) for a luscious beverage and the most divine cheese and yummy chocolates, who would you invite? 

Holly Schindler, Luisa Plaja & heidi r kling, there are so many more i would like to include and thank but i can only invite three right? hah! the reason i chose these three is because they are just so lovely and genuine i see them interact with bloggers everyday and they show nothing but kindness.

If your bookshelves caught on fire what 5 books would you save?
Oh no how can you do this to me!! how am i supposed to answer this question without feeling bad :( OK before i answer let me say my 5 answers will consist of books strictly i received for review.. why? well because there are many amazing books out there i can buy however i can always buy that book again what i cant replace is that kinship i feel with an author when they entrust their book to me personally that feeling is so much more so for that reason my answer Will consist of some of my darling review books.
 

1. Sea By Heidi r Kling she is a author i greatly admire, when she sent me a signed copy of Sea i promised myself i would cherish it forever :)
 

2. Forbidden (Definitions) by Tabitha Sazuma, this book is amazing and the author is even more amazing, she is so open to everyone and such a lovely person to talk to, her book touched me greatly for that i could not leave forbidden behind.
 

3. Kevin My Military Man by Shane Kaelle, this book taught me that romance is very much alive. It gave me an insight on the concept of a soul mate, and made me hope that love indeed exists. 

4.The Emerald Talisman (Volume 1) By Brenda Pandos, the author who gave me this book to review i actually am just getting to know and i love what she does and believe in her work, she is so down to earth and grounded perhaps one of THE most genuine authors i have ever come across. The book looks wonderful and I'm currently reading it.
 

5. A Blue So Dark By Holly Schindler, this book deals with realistic and intense issues and the author herself was a pleasure to talk to she responded instantly and when i received the book i was just blown away by its gorgeousness i know this will be one of those hard hitting books that will leave me in thought I'm looking forward to reading it!
 
So there are my top 5 although i chose them for a different reason its a reason i believe in, they are special to me and so if there was a fire they would be the books i would run and save first. I cant help but have a special fondness for them because they were entrusted to me by the authors who put their trust in me if that makes sense.


Name 3 songs on your playlist right now. Do you listen to music while you read?
OK i love my music as in it's a big part of who i am so to pick three songs is very hard! but i shall try my best.
 
1.  My Heart will go on By Celine Dion *if I'm reading something sad and depressing* i roll on this song and let a bucket full pour

2. Rock the boat By Aaliyah is a song that is very soothing for me and i listen to it countless times when I'm reading

3. I Hate this part By The Pussycat Dolls, is also very soothing, slow and can fall into the background leaving a calm environment, so as you may have noticed when I'm reading i don't like loud hype music which i might listen to at times, i like things on the more peaceful side, and the music i listen to tends to reflect on my mood at the time. 

Name a quality you admire in others and a quality you admire in yourself.
Great question strange that Ive actually never even considered it or answered it before. I guess i admire the quality of forgiveness in others. I can be very stubborn I'm not afraid to admit it, if i believe what someone has done is wrong, i will just stop talking to them, there is no in between with me, either i like you or i don't, and I'm easily put of by others, it can be the smallest thing but i find myself finding it hard to bring myself to talk to that person if i feel let down by them i think its worse when i cared then i cant bring myself to even look at them again if this happens our friendship is over full stop. its something i cant help. i wish like others i could be more negotiable, get over things and move forward but i just tend to walk away and stop talking with the person and i can be harsh i know this but I'm just honest. Hmm one quality about myself? OK i like to give advice the people i believe in and care for i give my all to, Ive always wanted to be there for others, kind of the thing where if anyone has needed advice or are going through a tough time they come to me, Ive noticed that maybe because i like to listen and give feedback? i don't know but its a nice feeling to know that your trusted like that.
 

Name 3 things on your bucket list. (things to accomplish in your lifetime)
 
1. Have a good job and do something that i enjoy i don't want to be one of those people who wakes up and dreads going to work, i want to be able to wake up with a big smile on my face because i love what i am doing, 
 
2. Make my family proud, lol i hope they aren't reading this i don't want them thinking I'm going soft hey i have a rep to hold! hahaaha, i am stubborn i don't always listen, and can be silly at times, I'm not the perfect sister or daughter but who is?  i hope that in the way they put up with me now i can return the favor and make them proud which will be through making something of myself, being someone, i hope to do that i think they deserve that at least for putting up with my craziness for all these years. :)
 
3. I really don't want to say this one actually i contemplated not saying it because its to unreal and mushy for me but what the heck. I guess finding the one, someone who i can trust and just makes me whole. maybe someday huh, I'm not exactly in a rush when the day comes it will come. Lets be honest every guy and girl dreams of the same thing to find the one right? Lets just hope mine isn't a jerk or he will be hitting the sidewalk alone! *grins*
