So the wonderful Klaudia and Mary have both nominated me for the Liebster award. This is kind of like a tag sort of thing where you state 11 facts about yourself, answer 11 questions, nominate 11 people for this award, and then ask those 11 people 11 questions. See the trend here? So i'm going to answer 22 questions, state 11 facts about myself, but I'm only going to ask 11 questions to 11 people.

The questions Klaudia asked

Favorite bookish quote?

Oh, jeeze. I am always so bad with quotes in stuff. My favorite bookish quote would have to be

"It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.” -JK Rowling; Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone

Favorite genre to read? Why?
That would have to dystopian because I love all the action that goes down in dystopian, falling in love with the characters, and being able to escape the modern world.

If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would you go?
I would want to go to Greece. I've been obsessed with Mama Mia lately and Greece seems like a nice to place to visit.

Favorite TV show?

AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER :)
