Questions from Curling Up With A Good Book
1. How old were you when you got into reading?
I was four. Taught by own great-grand-mother (RIP). She also taught me that licking or bending page corners is a big no-no!!!
2. If you were to write a book, under which genre and age group would you classify it?
Actually, I'm currently on my 3rd revision of a manuscript. It is YA Contemporary.
3. Rock, paper, scissors?
Arrow (Look at my hands). Katniss and I go way back ;p
4. If you were a character in a YA dystopia novel, what would your unique kickass name be?
Ardana.
5. What got you into blogging?
My friends nods. I kept wanting to talk about books, Peeta, Vampire Academy -- but no one in my circle had a clue about any of them. Blogging made me feel less insane.
6. Name a book that you would want to be made into a movie and the actors you'd like to play the lead characters.
Hmm... Heist Society. Although I might be getting my wish. Drew Barrymore signed on as Director in 2011. Let's hope the project flies through. My pick would be:
Kat (Camilla Belle) & Hale (Jeremy Sumpter)
7. Do you buy books from second hand bookstores?
Haven't in a while. But I did get an entire box of R.L Stine books once.
8. Do you let other people borrow your books?
Yes. Can't count how many times people borrowed Fifty Shades of Grey from me.
9. What is your favorite series and why?
Harry Potter. I love the way it's written. The plot kept building up until the very last book, and then she combined all of them with the horcruxes. So far, they are the only books I re-read.
10. What are your thoughts on Twilight?
BookCupid loves romance. So what if the finale wasn't super suspenseful. Meyer made thousands of people start reading paranormal. I praise her for that.
11. What's your favorite book of all time?
Little Women :)
11 Random Facts about me
1.Remember Home Alone 2. Well, sitting in the wrong airplane happened to me. I was 12, traveling alone with American Airlines Child service when the mistake occurred.
2. I can speak 4 languages.
3. Grew up with a single parent.
4. I adopted a teacher's cat in second grade and brought it home thinking no one would notice.
5. I'm afraid of taking baths. Only showers for me. Something about falling asleep and drowning scares the heck out of me.
6. Once signed up for Italian lessons because I crushed on an Italian dude. When I practiced what I'd learn on him, he said, "What, I don't actually speak Italian!"
7. I play piano and an acoustic guitar.
8. Like Blue in The Raven Boys, I can read cards.
9. I'm a fan of American Horror Story.

What is the Liebster Blog Award?
You may opt not to do the same but if you happen to pay it forward , good for you! Making blogger friends is fun!
The real "gist" of the Liebster Award is that there is no real award. There are no judges, no special rules. No website with an official team to congratulate you and hold your hand. It's mostly what you want it to be. If you receive the award, you can 1) accept it and 2) pass it along. It's that easy.
