I've been nominated for the Liebster Award!

Hey guys!

Some of you might have heard of this unofficial award going around the blogosphere recently, and that is the Liebster Award! Liebster, in German, means my beloved or my dearest <3

The award is given to nominees with less than 200 followers and it helps to give them some exposure!

Without further ado, let me begin by thanking Bayan Basri from The Booklicker, Andrea Geist from Andrea Reads and Reviews and Kelli Wheelright from Bobbins and Books for nominating me for this award! I cannot thank you all enough for it! :))

Here are the rules!

1. Link back the blogger who tagged you. (DONE!)
2. Nominate 10 others and answer the questions of the blogger who tagged you.
3. Ask 10 questions for the bloggers you nominate
4.Let the nominees know of their award.

WOW okay it seems like quite a lot to do! :O

Since I was nominated thrice, I will be picking 10 out of Kelli's, Andrea's and Bayan's 30 questions to answer!

Q1: Which do you prefer, Paper copy or ebook?

Paper copy, hands down! I dont have the habit of buying/ reading E-books because of my upbringing and influences from my friends and family! More importantly, I love the papery touch and musty smell of a physically bound book and ebooks can never replace that feeling. 

Q2: Who's your first fictional crush?

Haku from Spirited Away. When I watched Spirited Away for the first time at the tender age of 7, I was simply swept off my feet by his heroic deeds and lovely personality.

Have you fallen in love as well?

Q3: What's your opinion on fanfiction?

Hmm, I read a fair bit of fan fiction, but I am rarely walk away feeling impressed. Perhaps this is due to my innate bias against e-fiction...

Q4: Young Adult or New Adult?

Young Adult! :))

Q5: Favorite reading snack?

Seedless Grapes! They are healthy, juicy, plump, sweet and bursting with flavour! They complement my reading experience perfectly :)

Q6: Do you have an animal companion? What type of animal and name?
A great white wolf named Shira

Take a leap of faith into the twisting eternity of time and space.

Q7: What do you want for Christmas?

A good book, my happy family and lots of merry and cheer in the house

Q8: What is your all time favorite book?

The Giver

Q9: What are the next three books in your TBR pile?

This collation of photographs teaches me that there is more than meets the eye
(and that homeless vagrants are the wisest and most talented people).

"Believe the Unbelievable" 

The movie, Lore (2012), was a moving masterpiece so
I'm really looking forward to the book!

Q10: What is your favorite genre?

Dystopian- Fantasy reads FTW! (For The Win!) Nothing captures my attention like complex world building and subtle dystopian elements.
