Book Tag Thursday!

Welcome back to Book Tag Thursday. I wanted to do the Secret Life of a Book Blogger tag 2.0. I found the tag here

Questions

How long have you been blogging?

Since 2016 on and off. I've become more active as a theatre and book blogger in 2018 and 2019. I started off as just a TV review blog, but I'm happier being a book and Theatre Blogger.

At what point do you think you’ll stop blogging?

Blogging is fun and therapeutic for me, so I don't see myself ever stopping fully. I might need to scale back if life gets hectic.

What is the worst thing? What do you do to make it okay?

Having the time to get the content up. I have fun doing it, but it still takes time to get the content I want.

How long does it take you to find make/find pictures to use?

I don't use photos because I don't know how to use photoshop. I'll make a photo with Picsart or something for a header but that's it. From time to time, I'll use another program with a college.

Who is your book crush?

I don't have that many book crushes. Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen.

What author would you like to have on your blog?

Oh! Either Sarah J. Maas or Ashley Poston.

What do you wear when you write your blogpost?

Jeans and a sweater or long sleeved t-shirt in the fall and winter. In the summer shorts and a shirt. In the spring pants and a shirt. Dresses are mixed in with all seasons. I sometimes have my purple fleece I wear in the house on.

How long does it take you to prepare?

Depends. For the Musical Mondays about a week because I think to reflect on the next musical and think about what I will say about the work. Top Ten Tuesdays a few to 30 mins because I need to get to ten, or whatever number I set out for the day. For tags, I take 10 mins to find the tag I want for the day, and then 15-30 mins to type up the responses and format. Book Reviews take anywhere from a day to about two-three weeks after I read the book because of time I can commit to working on the review.

How do you feel about the book blogging community?

From what I have seen about it, I love because I can talk about books and discuss analysis and opinions I have. I feel the book community understand my book nerdiness even if you all don't agree with me,

What do you think one should do to get a successful blog?

It is personal based on the blogger. For me, I am blogging to get more consistent with blogging and build a brand on my blog. I know that others might blog for the likes and the comments, but I couldn't care less about that. I mean I hope that people like what I post, but it's not a make it or break it for me if people don't like everything I post.

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in. YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life. As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...

Top Ten Tuesday –Favorite Couples (Valentine’s Day /Love Freebie)

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl. . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. I love doing this meme because it gives me a chance to bond with other bloggers. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will make a post with our list on the topic, or a different one. This week it was Valentines / Love, so I wanted to do a post on favorite couples. I may have done a similar post last year, but I know that there are some new couples on this list. 1- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy- Pride & Prejudice This is the only classic couple on this list. I enjoy their relationship because the two characters have little in common, and yet by the end of the novel, they make it work. As you read Pride & Prejudice, you get to see these two find the love each of them was missing. 2- Cath and Levi–Fangirl One of my favorite YA novels needed to appear on this list. I love Cath and Levi becau...
