Today I welcome Charlotte fro Boks and Baby on my blog. You can find her blog here: http://booksandbabyetc.blogspot.co.uk Thank you for answering my questions lovely xxx.
1. Where were you born and where do you call home?
I was
born in the West Midlands in England. I moved around a bit when I was little
but now I'm settled back in the Black Country! It's fairly close to Birmingham.
2. How long have you been blogging and why did you start
doing it?
I started blogging in July 2014 because I was in a mega reading slump after starting a book I
really didn't like. I thought that writing a log of my reading progress might
encourage me to get back into it. It worked!
3. What is the name of the book you most recently blogged
about?
I've just done a review of Panic by Lauren Oliver.
4. What did you think about the cover?
I thought it was
okay, nothing special and it doesn't really tell you anything about the book.
5. If you could ask the Author 3 questions what would they
be?
Is this book going to be part of a series? How do you
feel about Panic being compared to The Hunger Games? Which character, out of
any of your books, do you feel the biggest connection to?
6. What is you most favorite character and why?
I don't
think I can pick one absolute favourite but I do have a soft spot for Karou in
the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy.
I'm a sucker for
a good crime thriller. I love whodunnits and that fabulous suspense building
you get in great murder mysteries! If I can guess who the killer is then I get
a bit annoyed but that doesn't stop me from trying.
8. If you were shipwrecked on a desert island what 3 books
would you want with you?
Can I be really sad and pick the Dictionary? I might as
well learn something if I'm going to be stuck there a while. I'd also probably
go for Never Let Me Go, which is one of my all time favourites and maybe
something like I Heart New York for a bit of light relief.
9. Is there an Author that you would really like to meet?
I'd like to sit down with Ryu Murakami for a while and
find out what goes on inside his head. His books are insanely dark and
grotesque but they are SO GOOD. He is obviously some kind of lunatic/genius. I
love him.
10. Do you prefer ebooks, paperbacks or hardcover?
Can I
pick all three? I love my eReader for ease of use. If I'm lying in bed or in
the car (not driving obviously!) then I find it a lot easier to hold my Kindle
than to manoeuvre my way around a big bulky book. It's also fits in my bag a
lot better! Despite this I love browsing in book shops and the feeling of a
book in your hands, as well as being able to see how much you've read.
Hardcovers are usually the most beautiful but, for me, definitely only for
display purposes. I can't read massive, heavy books.
11. Where do you prefer to buy your books?
Online. I tend
to go and spend ages in the bookshops looking at all the pretty covers and then
I come home and order from Amazon UK. Don't hurt me.
12. Have you ever read a book more than once?
I have but
I don't do it very often. I like to keep discovering new things.
13. What book are you currently reading?
I'm reading a
proof of The Secret Place by Tana French and it is incredible.
14. What book are you about to start reading?
I'm not
sure what's next for me, possible The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks or Anna and
the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins.
15. Have you read a book that you would like to rewrite the
ending of?
Yes. Every Stephen King book. He sucks at endings.
16. Do you have a favorite book cover?
Chose up to 3 if you
like. I don't have a favourite. I am always so overwhelmed by how beautiful
book covers are these days! I don't think I could narrow it down to just three.
17. If you could plan the perfect holiday, what would it be?
I would love to go to Japan. I am so intrigued by Japanese culture, I just
want to go and take in all the sights, sounds, smells... everything!
18. How often do you blog?
At the moment I'm still fairly
new to all this so I'm trying to build up my posting schedule. I aim to blog at
least three times a week, which is usually two reviews and either a feature or
a tag.
19. What’s your favorite color?
I like black and white!
I'm quite plain really.
20. What are 5 items you never leave home without?
Elsa!
I am a full-time mummy so my little one comes with me wherever I go. I also go
into panic mode if I haven't got my iPhone, my house keys, my far-too-big purse
which never has any money in it and a hand sanitizer.
21. Favorite book character crush? Yes you can pick 2 :)
I am in love with
Colonel Brandon from Sense and Sensibility. He is the original romantic and
nobody will ever compare to him.
22. Sleep in or get up early?
Get up early. I never get
chance to sleep in because Elsa is usually up by about 6.30 but I'm not really
one for lie-ins anyway!
23. Summer or winter?
Winter. I don't like being too hot.
24. White wine or red?
Neither. I hate wine, it makes me
gag.
25. Coffee or tea?
Again, neither. I'm not much of a hot
drinks person. I'll have a green tea though if I'm pushed.
26. Where can we find you?
