A huge thank you to Jessica from Jessica C Writes for giving me this award and to Okoto from Okoto Enigma’s Blog for creating it!

Three facts about me:

1. I want things for me (clothes, accessories, etc.) to either be all the colors of the rainbow or none of the colors and be black. Nothing in between.
2. I feel everything very intensely. I don’t like anything – I love it. And I don’t dislike anything – I hate it. There is no medium with me.
3. I’m terrified of everything. I wish that was an exaggeration but it really isn’t.

Jessica’s Questions

What is the last book that made you cry?

I cried for the majority of More Than Maybe by Erin Hahn. It isn’t a sad book at all it just was exactly what I needed in the very moment that I read it. The entire last fifteen pages had me sobbing because it was all so perfect. I loved every single word.

How many books do you have on your TBR?

Why are you calling me out like this?! I have approximately 169 unread physical books and 58 unread Kindle books for a total of about 227 books on my TBR.

Would you rather only be able to reread books or only be able to read new books?

It hurts my heart to know that I would never reread a Gayle Forman or Erin Hahn book but I would definitely choose to only be able to read new books. There are an infinite amount of stories I have yet to discover and though I’ve read a lot over the years my selection would still be quite limited.

What was your reading goal for 2019? Did you reach it yet?

My goal for this year was to read 50 books and at the time of this post I’ve read 149. I really wasn’t expecting to read quite so much this year since I have a rambunctious toddler running about. Blogging has definitely boosted my reading!

What is your favorite book quote?

I’m not sure I have one? Sometimes I’ll have certain quotes stick out to me while reading but I don’t keep track of them. I did make note of quite a lot while reading More Than Maybe but you’ll have to wait for my full review to know what they are!
