Ally’s Questions
If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
This might be a silly answer but I would love to able to talk to animals. I have always had cats in my life and felt a deep connection to them. I would love to be able to have a conversation with them and to know what they are thinking.
What’s your favourite book-to-movie adaptation?
This is a great and tricky question! I would have to say that The Help is probably my favourite. I love the book and I believe that the movie does the book justice. There are so many brilliant actresses in the movie and they bring the characters to life.
Describe your perfect reading room.
My perfect reading room would have floor to ceiling bookshelves, a fireplace, a large window looking out to the beach so I could watch the sunset, and a comfy reading nook!
What was your favourite childhood books?
The Berenstain Bears for sure! I had a lot of the memorized as a kid because I would make my dad read them to me every night!
Are there any hobbies you wish you did? Or wish you had more time to do?
I wish I could draw. I used to love to draw and I think I could improve on it if I took the time to practice. There are only so many hours in the day and I just can not make the time for it! Maybe one day!
Do you do any sports?
Not currently! I am a certified lifeguard and I used to love to play tennis but I haven’t recently! I would love to join a tennis league but I am not sure that there is one in my hometown!
Do you have any pets? If yes, please show pictures!
Yes I do! I have one cat, and my parents have three! We are definitely crazy people. I have always had a cat in my life!

If you could study anything, what would it be?
I would love to go back to school and get a Masters in Library Science. I have plans to do that in the near future!
What’s your Harry Potter house?
PROUD HUFFLEPUFF! I wanted so badly to be a Gryffindor but the more that I look in to Hufflepuff the more that I realize it is a perfect fit for me. I have a lot of Hufflepuff memorabilia and am proud to be in the company of Cedric Diggory and Newt Scamander.
Best book of 2017 so far?
This is such a hard question! I have read so many amazing books this year! Of course The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas is up there as well as Far From the Tree by Robin Benway and A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman.
My Questions:
- Is there a quote from a book that changed the way you think or inspired you?
- If you could change your name to any name of a book character which would you choose?
- What is the best and worst purchase you ever made?
- How do you spend your free time?
- What does a perfect day look like to you?
- What was the last photo you took?
- Who are your favourite bookstagrammers?
- What celebrity do you think is the most down to earth?
- Do you believe in aliens?
- What are you interested in that most people aren’t?

Thanks for the nomination!! Also, I hope you do get to go back to school and get your Master’s in Library Science. If I could get back to school I would go for my doctoral degree; I already have a BA in Literature and a Master’s in Library Science. Granted, I am not currently working in a library, but I feel like book blogging is filling that part of my life right now so I’m content.
That is awesome. Library science has always a been something I have been interested in but book blogging has really inspired me to pursue it!
That’s fantastic. I knew I was going to make books the central part of my life from childhood, so it was either English teacher or librarian. With some education courses under my belt as well, it wouldn’t take much for me to do either. But I think I’d rather be a professor than a teacher of younger minds. Unfortunately my student loan debt makes it nearly impossible for me to go back for my doctoral degree.
Yes schooling definitely is expensive. That is certainly a factor for me as well!
Being a professor would be amazing. I have a lot of elementary school teachers in my life and I know it can be very stressful work.
yay fellow hufflepuff! 😍 speaking with animals would be awesome! and maggie is so cute 😻
i loved your answers girl! 🤗
Thank you! Hufflepuffs are the best!! I am a little obsessed with Maggie!
haha i can imagine! 😻
Former lifeguard? Wow! And Angie Thomas book is on my best list for 2017!!!
Yes! I love swimming and getting certified is something I am proud of!
I will now read anything that Angie Thomas writes!
Aww your cat is adorable! I’d also love to talk to animals! And I agree with the Help, the movie adaptation was so good! Thanks for doing this!!
Thank you! I am tempted to watch The Help now!
Love your blog! It is soo pretty. This tag is awesome. I loved reading your answers
Aw thanks so much! I am in the holiday spirit this year and wanted my blog to reflect that!
Oh okay, you did an awesome job reflecting it
Congratulations on the award! I really liked reading your answers here. I love your ideal reading room, I think mine would pretty much look the same, ahah. And your cat is soooooo adorable <3 <3
I'm so glad Far From The Tree makes it among your favorites for this year, it was such an amazing book <3
Thank you so much. I would just love to be in that reading nook with my cat in my lap and a good book!
Your cat is adorable! ❤️ And I love the matching pillow!
Thank you! I saw the pillow and I just had to pick it up!
Aww your cat is so cute!
Thank you!!
You’re welcome!!
Congratulations! I love your bedroom, it looks so fab! And I love your cat!!
Ah thank you so much!!
Aaaah yes! Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves are definitely a must if I were to create a perfect reading room for me. I actually converted one wall of my room into a mini library, but the bookshelves don’t reach all the way up to the ceiling… it’s still a wonderful sight to wake up to every day tho 😋💕 I also wish I had more time to do art as well! It’s something that I don’t want to make a living out of, but it’s just so nice to sit down, relax, and draw — I love it as a hobby and a passion. But you’re right, sometimes there simply isn’t enough time during a day to do that. Even though it’s always on my mind, reading, writing, or blogging usually takes priority over drawing. 😊 I enjoyed reading your answers to this tag!
I am so jealous of your mini library! That is the dream!
I love that you are interested in art as well! It is definitely something that I find calming but is hard to make time for! Blogging and reading definitely come first for me as well!
Thank you!!
Great answers! I also would love to talk to animals and I like that reading space. ☺️
Thank you! 😊
OMG, your cat looks like your pillow or … your pillow looks like your cat? One of the two options hahaha that is seriously so awesome! I get wanting to speak to animals. It’s such a neat power and while I always wanted to imagine that my horses (not actually mine, but the ones I was riding on) understood me, it would be so cool if we could have carried an actual conversation. If I could chose a power, it would always be teleportation though. SO helpful!
My cat looks like the pillow! I just randomly saw the pillow at Costco and I had to buy it! Teleportation would be awesome. I also thought about going with that one!
That’s so cool!!
