Liebster Blog Award

-
So the fabulous Jenni Elyse told me that I would be very interested in her latest post on her blog. I was surprised and flattered, because she nominated me for a Liebster Blog Award. Thank you for the awesome award Jenni! I recommend everyone check out her blog at http://jennielyse.com.

Liebster Blog Award
Instead of rewriting the instructions, here they are as they were on Jenni's post (tho I added the bit in brackets):

The Liebster Blog Award is designed to bring additional recognition to those bloggers with less than 200 followers [or subscribers via blog reader]. If you receive the award, you should link back to the blogger that nominated you and nominate five more blogs. Also, don’t forget to let them know that you nominated them.

And now time for my Liebster Blog Award nominations!

Drum roll please....

Baddum-CHA!

1. Becky at The Hummingbird Hollow: I love Becky's posts. They are always heartfelt, and she has some fantastic reads as well as beautiful photography to share with the world. She's also pretty much the most awesome person ever. You better get over there and follow her.

2. PC Wheeler at Tea & Magic: I love her blog, reviews, and she's a fantasy writer. She posts on all things related to fantasy, including art, fun facts, and news on her writing and the publishing industry. What's not to love?

3. Iben at Borough of Books: The reviews here are informative and honest. The blog author even includes a little plot graph so the reader can get an idea of when she was enjoying the book, and when she wasn't. I thought that was creative. She's also an aspiring librarian!

4. Adriana at The Nostalgic Librarian: I enjoy my visits to this blog. Adriana shares books and lovely images of cocktails and recipes, as well as appropriate media to make your post reading experience as "cozy" as possible. You feel like you've been invited to a dinner party when you read her blog. :)

5. Grace at Books Without Any Pictures: Love her blog design, and reviews. She reads and reviews books from different genres. She writes well, and doesn't use a rating system, as she approaches book reviewing in a fresh and nuanced way. She's another aspiring librarian which makes her pretty awesome in my book.

Q. Name 3 authors that you would love to sit down and spend an hour or a meal with just talking about either their books or get advice on writing from? I know they are dead, but since this is a hypothetical question to begin with, I would vote for Mark Twain, Carl Sagan, and J. R. R. Tolkien. Hands down. I don't know how much talking I would do. I would just sit down and listen to them say fabulous things.  Q. What’s the ONE GENRE that you wish you could get into, but just can’t? Romance. For instance, even after trying to enjoy it, I have never been a Jane Austen fan. I find the Mr. Darcy obsession intriguing but I just think it's all boring. There is such a huge following for romance, however, and a lot of good stuff out there I'm sure. And even though I have a difficult time liking the genre, every now and then I'm pleasantly surprised.

Welcome new followers! I have a pretty sweet giveaway going on right now, be sure to check it out. Also if you are new, please visit my about page to learn a little more about me and the blog. First question from Parajunkee's Feature & Follow Friday ! Q. How has your reading habits changed since you were a teen? or If you are still a teen what new genres are you in love with currently? Oh man. I love a lot of the same stuff I loved as a teen. But that doesn't mean my reading habits haven't changed, they have. I think they've changed for the better. When I was a teen, I was only into fantasy fiction, today, I'm into all sorts of crazy things like books about philosophy, sociology, psychology, religion, science, etc. I've also broadened my fiction reading into not just fantasy, but regular fiction as well.   Q. Let’s talk crazy book titles! Highlight one or two (or as many as you like!) titles in your personal collection that have the most interesting

E-Reading in the Bathtub?

Okay, so a lot of people say that e-readers never will replace print because they just, well, love paper books so much. I get it. When I get a new hardbound book and crack open the cover for the first time, the smell is intoxicating. I swear publishers put some kind of drug in the book binding glue to make it so addictive. But I also love my e-reader, and have been using it more and more... and in some cases, I'm preferring it over some paper books (because it isn't as heavy). Also, in June 2011, adult paperback books plunged 64% from last year, while e-book sales went up 161 percent . This suggests that while many hardcover books are still being purchased (though it dropped 25 % in the same month), people who just want to read a book for the sake of the words, and not the format (i.e. paperback readers), are starting to gravitate towards e-books. Libraries have growing digital collections, and some libraries have already started lending e-readers . I think in the future,
