3 facts about you (non bookish) –
Caroline:
Ok the first one is that I am obsessed with tattoos! The majority of my body is nearly covered in them! I just love being able to add beautiful art to my skin. Second one is that I have two dogs, one is a Yorkshire terrier and the second is a Frussel who is a mix between a Jack Russel and a French Bulldog, his name is Kaz. Finally the third fact is that I love singing and music, it’s got me through a lot.
Jennifer:
I have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a fish, can you tell I like animals? I’m a vegetarian and have been for 12 years now. I made the decision very early on in life at the age of 9. I love all things music, it’s something that I hold very near to my heart. It impacts my mood greatly. I’d go crazy if I didn’t have it in my life.
What is your first memory of reading-
Caroline:
My first memory of reading was when I was in primary school, I think I was 6 or 7 and all I asked my mam for my birthday was a book. The first proper book I read and finished was The Witches, by Roald Dahl. I remember telling everyone that I finished a book, I was so happy.
Jennifer:
It would have to be when my mam would take me to the library when I was about 6 and let me pick out a few books at a time every 2 weeks. She also used to bring me to the bookshop sometimes and let me buy a book as a treat, I’ve been in love with books since.
Favourite book(s) as a child-
Caroline:
This would have to be The Wishing Chair Collection by Enid Blyton. I remember is was the first huge book that I had managed to finish and I was so proud of myself. Also anything by Jaqueline Wilson, I loved her books.
Jennifer:
I remember my favourite books being anything by Roald Dahl or Dr Seuss. I couldn’t get enough of them!
Favourite/Least Favourite genre-
Caroline:
My favourite genre would have to be young adult, fantasy and dystopian. My least favourite is Crime.
Jennifer:
My favourite genre would have to be urban fantasy and dystopian. I’d say my least favourite is historical fiction, mainly because I haven’t read much of it.
Biggest Book Influences-
Caroline:
My biggest book influences would have to be The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare. All her books are full of bravery, sacrifice and love. It has everything in it them makes a story real! Also All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. That book broke my heart but it has such an important issue that I’m glad was discussed. Also The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It wasn’t a book I would normally read, but I fell in love with the characters so much and in the end it broke my heart. And finally Stephanie Meyer. Twilight was the first proper ‘adult’ book that I read and what got me hooked to reading, it still means a lot to me to this day.
Jennifer:
My biggest book influences would have to be The Harry Potter series by JK Rowling (cliché I know but I grew up with that series). Twilight by Stephenie Meyer of course (it holds a special place in my heart), The Manifesto on How to be Interesting by Holly Bourne, that book helped me through a really tough time. Last but not least The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare.
Your favourite author-
Caroline:
Ok this is so hard to choose because there are so many. I love Cassandra Clare she is a queen! Also Leigh Bardugo, I love all her books so much, and last but not least, Tahereh Mafi. The Shatter Me series is just amazing!
Jennifer:
My favourite author is without a doubt is Cassandra Clare!! Her books have taught me so much and has everything I could ever want in a story. She is dedicated to her world building and her fans. I’ve met her twice and I have to say she’s the loveliest woman, she had so much time for me which was amazing. It showed she genuinely cared.
Last book you read-
Caroline:
Traitor to the Throne by Alwyn Hamiton. I re read the book in preparation for the last book in the series.
Jennifer:
The last book I read is Everless by Sara Holland (review coming out soon!).
What book are you currently reading-
Caroline:
I’m currently reading Hero at the Fall also by Alwyn Hamilton. It’s the last book in the series and I’m so sad it’s going to be over.
Jennifer:
I am currently reading Simon Vs. The HomoSapiens Agenda. I am loving it and cannot wait for the movie coming out soon :).
What inspired you to start blogging?-
Caroline:
The reason I wanted to start blogging is because I have a huge love for books and anything book related. I’ve seen people using certain platforms to talk about their love of books and give reviews on them for other people to see and I thought that was a really interesting thing to do, and something I wanted to do.
Jennifer:
I had always read blogs and watched many booktubers and always loved how they were sharing their views and opinions for books with other people in the book community so that definitely striked something in me as I wanted to be a part of that.
