I was awarded by Tina from Martina Bookaholic and I would love to give you a big lipstick stain on your cheeks right now!

The rules are simple:

1. Include the award logo in your post or in your blog.
2. Say 7 random things about yourself that the readers don't know yet.
3. Nominate 5-10 blogs you usually follow. 
4. Let the nominees know that they are nominated and include their blog links. 
5. Link the person who nominated you.

7 random things about myself. 

1. My favorite time of the day is Twilight, and I get emotional and inspirational when it rains.

2. I get real high when I'm sleep deprived and I'll talk non stop.

3. I used to have a fear of talking to guys.

4. I have this personal attachment to my mechanical pencil. It was missing a few days ago and I was depressed because of that! However it turns out that one of my friend accidentally took it and I am happy again after he returned it to me. Ridiculous right? Could this be a sign of being a hoarder?

5. I never hated a book, ever. At some point, no matter how boring it may be, I would still find something to like in a book, and I never gave a book a star rating of below than 3.

6. I could watch an adult human being brutally murdered in a movie, but I can't stand at the sight of an animal or a child being hurt. I will ball my eyes out.

7. I love exploring different kinds of books and I have no problem reading books with unusual or controversial story plot. I remembered reading about incest in Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma and I loved it, I even read about gay relationships and felt an attraction towards these kind of stories.

4. Let them know you’ve tagged them!

My questions was given to me these amazing ladies :  Karla, Martina and Cambria! 



1.- What is your Favorite book ever?
I can never pick favorites but if someone asks me that, the first series that came into my mind is the Morganville Vampires series by Rachel Caine. It was one of the series which I wouldn't get bored of.

2.- if you had to choose a character of one book to meet in real life, who would it be?
I'm torn between Claire and Shane (the main characters from the Morganville Vampires Series) but I think I'll meet Claire (because Shane intimidates me - in a good way). I adore Claire because she has the brains, she is one of the reason why I love Physics!

3.- If a thief entered your house to steal your library, what book would you try to save and why?
Obviously, The Morganville Vampire Series. All 10 of them.

4.- If you were a character on a book what type of character would you be?
I used to be the awkward one in real life so I definitely wanted to be a daredevil in the book! The kind of character who is witty, doesn't give a crap and kick ass!

5.- have you found a book that made you cheer for the bad guy to win? wich book was it and why?
Hmm...tough question, but one book certainly did came to mind. It was Water by Terra Harmony. I love the bad guy for some reason and though I love the good guys too, I was torn between them both.

6.- who is the worst character you´ve found while reading a book?
Zoey from the House of Night series. I don't hate her but I am annoyed by the fact that she changes boyfriend like she changes her clothes.

7.- Do you choose your books by the cover or the blurb?

It's a little bit of both. The cover attracts my attention and the blurb sealed the deal.

8.- Do you have any strange reading habits? if so what are they?
I don't know if this is considered as strange, but I could only read at night. That is the time where I am really reading what I am reading.

9.- Hardback, Paperback or ebook?
All 3! I wouldn't mind people giving me hardcovers, I would buy paperbacks, and I receive ARCs in form of ebooks. I'm flexible.

10.- Give a list of your top 5 book boyfriends....


Shane (MVV), Four (Divergent), Patch (Hush Hush),  Travis (Beautiful Disaster), Evan (Hushed)



1. Which is your favorite book/ book series?
The Morganville Vampire Series!

2. How often do you read? 
Every night! Even if I am dead tired, I'll force myself to read a couple of pages.


3. Who’s your favorite characters and why?
Shane from MVV because he's the kind of guy who you would call idiot but fall in love with him at the same time.


4. What’s your favorite subjet you like to read about?
ROMANCE.

5. For how long do you have a blog and why did you started?
I think around July last year? It was not active until last November. At first I reactivated my blog for the sake of getting ARCs, but now I realized blogging is more than that. I love the blogging community!

6.  Where do you live at the moment and where do you want to life in the future?
I am living in Malaysia and I want to go overseas in the future! I want to explore the world before I die.

7. Which book you like has in your opinion the best film adaption?
Without a doubt, Harry Potter. (And I'm having high hopes for Hunger Games)

8. What’s your favorite quote of a book?

“You can’t tell me what to do anymore, Travis! I don’t belong to you!” In the second it took him to turn and face me, his expression had contorted into anger. He stomped toward me, planting his hands on the bed and leaning into my face. “WELL I BELONG TO YOU!” The veins in his neck bulged as he shouted, and I met his glare, refusing to even flinch. He looked at my lips, panting. “I belong to you." --- Beautiful Disaster. 

I felt the urge to cry whenever I read this part.


9. If you could life in the universe of a book, which would it be?
Definitely not Hunger Games, but I would love to live in the world of Vampire Academy. School for vampires, what else could be cooler?


10. What is your favorite TV series or favorite song at the moment?
Favorite TV series : The Vampire Diaries
Favorite Song : To Plant A Seed by We Came as Romans

Masquerade by Cambria Hebert, Water and Air by Terra Harmony, Hushed by Kelley York, Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire


6. Do you prefer Ebook, Print book or audio book?
I am flexible with all 3, but print books are definitely the right way to read a book.

Suzanne Collins. I need to ask her where she bought her brain, I want to get one too.
