Liebster Award: double nomination! =O

Hello, everyone! Some days ago, I was nominated for the Liebster Award twice! I’d like to thank so so sooo much to my lovely friend Ellen, from Eveningreads, and to sweet Shannon, from For The Love of Words, for the nomination! You are amazing!!

And here’s the rules for the award:

Thanks again, girls! Let’s go to the answers:

Eveningreads’ questions:

1. Do you have a favorite Harry Potter book? If yes, which and why?

Yes! I love The Goblet of Fire. All of it. The year, the quests, Voldemort’s trial to kill Harry… Really, this is my favorite book of the series all time, haha!

2. What is your current read and how is it?

I’m currently reading a book called Shattered Blue, from Laura Bird Horowitz, that I received through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. I just start reading chapter 1, I think it’s not fair to say anything good or bad yet, haha!

3. Your top 5 TBR?

• Sigmund Shaw: A Steampunk Adventure, by Mark C. King
• Vexed by a Viscount, by Erin Knightley
• What Lies Within, by James Morris
• Secrets and High Spirits, by Lou Harper
• Cemetery Tours, by Jacqueline E. Smith

4. Top 5 favorite characters of all time?

• Damon Salvatore, from The Vampire Diaries
• Sherlock Holmes
• Addie Hayes, from Chasing Rainbows
• Mr. Darcy, from Pride & Prejudice
• Snape, from Harry Potter

5. Can you read and listen to music or are you the silent reader?

I really like to read while listening to music, but I read well in silence too – I prefer to have some kind of background noise, especially during afternoons, because I usually get sleepy, no matter what I’m reading, haha!

6.Which standalone/series do you wish had just one more book?

Omg, there’s so many! But I will go with The Tutor, from Bonnie Dee (review here!). It’s a standalone book and I really wished to see how the characters went with their lives after so many things, haha!

7. What is your go-to book?

Right now, it’s Chasing Rainbows (review here!), by Linda Oaks. It was a life-changing book and I will re-read it many times, I’m sure!

8. Who is your most owned author?

Just physical copies, I would say Emily Rodda (18 books). However, counting ebooks + paperbacks, I’d say Ava March, with 22 books.

9. What is your favorite read of 2015 so far?

I CAN’T CHOOSE! This year, I’ve read some exceptional books, like the complete series of Percy Jackson and the Asylum series books, besides Austenland from Shannon Hale (review here!), Viscount’s Wager by Ava March (review here!), The Tutor from Bonnie Dee and Chasing Rainbows by Linda Oaks. I can’t choose one, sorry, haha!

10. If you could visit one fictional place, where would it be and why?

The Middle Earth, from Lord of The Rings. I spent so many hours of my childhood pretending I was there that it would feel wrong to choose any other amazing place, haha!

11. What’s the book you had to put down before you could go on with it?

The Host, by Stephanie Meyer. I really hated it, haha!

Now, For the Love of Words’ questions:

1. Are you a morning person, or a night person?
   I’m definitely a night person, I do everything after dusk, haha!
2. What’s your favorite color of food?
   Yellow or red/brown, because I love massa and meat, haha!
3. Most read and reviewed genre?
   Romance, of all kinds: YA, Historical, Contemporary, Supernatural… Romance ❤
4. Favorite pastime (besides reading)?
   Eating, what is very sad, haha! Third thing on my list is sleeping. I’m basically a cat that learned to read.
5. What’s your dream city?
   A place in Brazil called Curitiba. I would give anything to live there 🙂
6. Favorite Olympic sport to watch?
   I like masculine water sports and volley. I love Brazil’s volley team, both masculine and feminine, and love to see all those worked up guys on bath suits, haha! *blushes*
7. Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert?
   I’m very extrovert, I talk to pretty much anyone and everything, like the walls.
8. What’s your favorite television show?
   Hard one! I watch too many things and never finish one. I would say Vampire Diaries and Suits, as everything seems to be getting cancelled nowadays…
9. What’s your dream job?
   Being paid to review books, because that’s pretty much what I do best 🙂
10. Who’s your favorite artist? (can be either musical or fine arts)
    I love miss Britney Spears and a band named Epica. If I had to spend the rest of my days listening to only two musical figures, they would be my choice ❤
11. How long have you had your blog, and what keeps you writing?
    My blog is a baby! I started it on Blogger in April and moved to WordPress on June, so this blog has only three months! I’m very selfish with my blog: what keeps me writing is my desire to do so. I always read a lot and I love talking about the books I read, but my offline friends couldn’t keep up with my passion, so I unleash it all here and on my bookstagram 🙂
