Behind the Book Blogger Tag

Hey Everyone!

I was tagged by the beautiful Laura @ thebookcorps for this fun tag! Make sure you check out her blog, it is awesome and one of my favourites!

The Rules

• Thank the person who nominated you
• Answer all the questions below
• Pingback to the creator: Ellyn @ Allonsythornraxx
• Nominate 5+ bloggers you’d like to know more about to do this tag

1. Why did you start blogging and why have you kept blogging?

I started blogging because I had a lot of feelings about the books I was reading, and had no one to talk to. I had also just finished Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas and was left feeling absolutely distraught at the ending, so starting my blog gave me an outlet! I continue to blog because I absolutely LOVE talking about books.

2. What is your favourite type of blog post to write?

I absolutely love rants!!! I haven’t done any in ages, because I often worry that what I say is going to offend people. So usually I only post rants if I know it is going to be something that people can relate to.

3. What are your top 3 favourite blog posts?

Ranty Rant: Toxic Masculinity And Problematic Relationships Disguised As Romance

Discussion Post: Are you Avoiding Romance Because Of Misogyny?

Why Boys Need To Read Books That Aren’t Targeted Towards Boys

4. What are some of your favourite things to do to relax?

Reading, walking my doggos, watching movies/tv shows, listening to true crime podcasts, NAPPING.

5. What are 3 of your favourite things?

Animals, make-up and books

6. What are your proudest blogging moments?

Honestly, just the fact that I have continued blogging for as long as I have. I’m not someone who sticks with things, I tend to give up pretty easily on stuff, so I am pretty proud of myself for continuing blogging even if it has been very sporadic.

7. What are your hobbies outside of blogging?

Make-up is something I am super, super, super passionate about!!! I love finding new products, and I am always looking for super bright eyeshadows and lipsticks. I have a whole cupboard at home dedicated to all of my makeup.

8. Describe your personality in 3 words?

Awkward, chatty and whimsical

9. What are your top 3 pet peeves?

• People who push into queues, I can’t even begin to express the anger I feel towards people who do this.
• Men who “manspread” – honestly guys, it’s so fucking rude and obnoxious and shows that you don’t give a shit about the people around you. Just stop fucking doing it for fuck sake.
• The sound of motorbikes. I know this is super random, but hearing motorbikes, especially Harley’s, makes me irrationally angry. I can’t really explain it, other than I feel like throwing something on the ground when I hear them.

10. What’s something your followers don’t know about you?

I used to play the alto saxophone. I didn’t actually want to play it because I wanted to play the guitar or violin, but my mum used to play and she already had a sax so I therefore had to go with that. I played for like, 4 years and I was so shit hahaha.
