Donna’s Questions:
What makes you want to keep blogging?
I recently wrote a blog post talking about some of the reasons I love blogging! So I guess you can say I keep blogging for all of those reasons! I think it truly boils down to the fact that I love reading and talking about books with other people who are just as passionate as I am.
Which book makes you the happiest?
You mean besides Harry Potter right?
Most recently I would have to say A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman! It definitely has some really sad moments, but the overall feel of the book is so heartwarming! I had a big grin on my face while reading it.
If you could choose a holiday dessert which would it be?
Anything gingerbread! I just looked up gingerbread desserts on Pinterest and OMG!
Who inspires you the most to read?
I do not really know the answer to this question! I guess it would be my parents! They used to read to me when I was a kid and I assume that is when I started to love reading. It has always been a part of my life!
Which fictional character would you like to set up a blind date for? and who would you choose?
Ohhhh! This is a tough one!
I want to set Harry Potter up on a blind date, because as you know if you have been following for awhile now, I do not like him with Ginny! Maybe I would set him up with Penelope from Carry On? I like her character better than Ginny and they would have a lot in common right?!
What’s a book you bought for the cover and ended up loving?
Burial Rites by Hannah Kent! I saw this book in the bargain section of Chapters and I only bought it because I thought that the cover was intriguing! The actual book itself is even better than the cover! So dark and atmospheric!
Choose one book for each season.
Spring- Anne of Green Gables by L.M Montgomary
Summer- I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
Fall- The Wonder by Emma Donoghue
Winter- Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
What time of day do you like to blog?
Any time of the day! I usually end up writing them at night in bed though!
What distracts you the most from reading?
TV! I love watching TV so it can definitely be a distraction! I have recently been binge watching Masterchef…
If your birthday were around the corner what is one gift you would ask for?
Hmmm… I wouldn’t mind an Amazon Echo! They are not released in Canada yet though!
What are 5 things you are grateful for?
- My family
- My cat
- Books
- Friends
- Being born in Canada
I have been doing a lot of tags lately so I don’t want to bother more people with tags! I really loved answering Donna’s questions though so please answer these if they appeal to you! I would love to see your answers!
Great post, those shortbread treats look delicious 🙂🙂
Thank you! They make me want to bake!
Your welcome 😀
Congrats with your award.. I love gingerbread too! Not only food but also my Nescafé gingerbread lattes :-). You found perfect matches for the different seasons btw, I can totally find myself in your choices!
Thank you! I think we are very similar! I have never tried the Nescafe gingerbread latte! Definitely will have to try that this season!
Yes for being born in Canada!
So lucky! Such an awesome country!
great answers! 🤗 and congrats on the nomination!
Thank you!!
Wooo! For being Canadian! 😀 🇨🇦 ❤️
You and your brother are so cute! 😀 and uhhhh those Gingerbread treats…. I want Gingerbread now!
Yay! So many Canadian book bloggers!
Thank you!!
I am going to attempt to bake one of those gingerbread treats this year. Maybe I will share my results on the blog! 😊
Haha yay! 😀
You’re welcome! 🙂
Oooohhhhh you have to now! 😀
Mmm… I have an urgent desire for gingerbread now! 😀
Same! I can’t wait until all the gingerbread flavoured treats start coming out!
mm, those gingerbread desserts look so good!!
I know! I want to bake some!
Congratulations!!! And I totally hear you on Master Chef. LOL. That show is amazing. 🙂
Thank you! I am sad this season is over!
I haven’t seen the finale yet! I’m totally dragging it out. LOL.
I so agree about Ginny! I’m not a Ginny hater, I like her a lot, but the thing is, I don’t like her with Harry. Or Harry with her. It makes me feel a little disturbed, like Savior complex much, no? What with all of that Basilisk business, you know? It just makes me feel meh.
I totally agree! It is almost creepy in a way! I never thought they had chemistry or anything either!
I’m so glad I’m not alone in this 😀
