Armchair
BEA is
for those people who cannot visit Book Expo America but still want to
join in the fun. I really wish I was in NYC with my fellow bloggers
who are attending BEA (Book Expo America), but sadly I can't. It all
good though I’m more than happy to be a part of Armchair BEA!
Day 1 Introductions.
Tell
us a bit about yourself: How long have you been blogging? Where are
you from? How did you get into blogging?
Hello
fellow bloggers/blog readers my name is Melissa and I've been
blogging for the last 5 yrs give or take since 2011.I'm from Chicago
and I got into blogging after discovering one of my friends blog. From
there I started reading different book blogs and decided to start my
own.So far I have 3 blogs two for personal uses and on for a college
class. I really only keep my book blog up to date and the other
personal on only every now and then.
Why
do you loving reading and blogging?
I
love to read because it gets me out of my own head and I can just
explore the mind of someone else s for a little bit. I I enjoy
blogging because I like giving my opinions on something I love be it
mainly books,music,or something else entirely
What
is your theme song?
Okay
so in an awesome world my theme song would be the opening music for
the Harry Potter movies but alas while the world is awesome it is not
that awesome.*Le sigh* I can dream though.
What
is one book everyone should read?
One
book everyone should read especially if your interested in becoming a
educator is Educating Esme:Diary of A Teacher's First Year by Esmé
Raji Codell. I
loved this book on so many levels its not even funny. If your not
into memoirs than the next must read is The Realm of Possibilities by
David Levithan.
What
is your favorite genre and why?
I
like a bit of every genre but if I had to chose a favorite it would
be fantasy followed closely by YA/NA contemporary.
What
book are you reading right now?
As
of right now I’m rereading Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List by David
Levithan and Rachel Cohn.
What
book are you most looking forward to reading this summer?
The
Summer of Chasing Mermaids Sarah Ockler. I adore Sarah's books!!!
If
you were stranded on a deserted island, what author would you want to
bring with you? Why?
Tough
question I’m really tempted to say J.K Rowling just so i can pick her brain about all things Harry potter but my pick would be Maureen Johnson because based of her twitter she seems like a fun
time.
*Apparently we were only supposed to pick/answer 5 questions...I was so excited that i skimmed the instructions. Oh well enjoy my Armchair BEA intro.
The Harry Potter music is my ringtone. It does make me feel awesome. LOL
ReplyDeleteLol nice ringtone choice mine is the noise the TARDIS makes. :)
DeleteI bet Maureen Johnson WOULD be fun on an island. My daughter is of the age for NA books, but the ones I've seen would curl my hair, so I haven't tried any. I think I'll stick with middle grade! Have fun with Armchair BEA!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to meet you at ArmchairBEA. I love what you chose as your theme song. I think that music makes all of us feel awesome.
ReplyDeleteYes, the Harry Potter theme would be a fantastic theme song!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy ABEA!
I was never able to finish Naomi and Ely's No Kiss, despite having enjoyed Nick & Norah. I was just thrown by how many perspectives there were, and it was a little too angsty for my taste. Have you read Dash & Lily? That's one I've been meaning to read for a while.
ReplyDeleteYeah the multiple perspectivea can be a bit much sometimes. I read Dash&Lily a while ago but from what I remember it was enjoyable. When you get a chance hope you like it.
DeleteI'm from the suburbs, hopefully we can connect at BEA 2016!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! I'm so excited for BEA 2016 taking place in Chicago.
DeleteDon't you love the Harry Potter theme song? That's one of my many favorite things about the series.
ReplyDeleteHappy BEA!
Happy ABEA!
ReplyDeleteHappy ABEA ! :D
DeleteI totally love Maureen Johnson, Good choice!
