Liebster Award Nomination!

This is the second year I have had a Liebster Award Nomination and I was amazed really as my blog had been going now for a year! However It's great to think others are discovering my blog and enjoying what I am doing, and it's been great fun! So thanks to everyone who takes the time to stop at my blog. Thank you so much for the nomination onceuponabookblog!!

Now, to follow the rules of the Liebster Award...

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you.

2. Answer the eleven questions he/she asks.

3. Nominate eleven bloggers.

4. Ask these eleven bloggers eleven questions.

5. Let these eleven bloggers know that they have been nominated.



Here are the eleven questions our nominator has requested that I answered:

1. What did you read last, what are you reading now and what are you reading next?

The last book I read was Mad about You by Sinead Moriarty. My current read is The Unfinished Symphony of You and Me by Lucy Robinson. My next read is going to be The Travelling Tea Shop by Belinda Jones. 

2. If you could be any book character, who would you be?

If I could be any character from a book I think it would be Becky Bloomwood from the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella. This is because she is just like me, some of the things she does and says are just like me and the way she thinks. Normally when I am having a blonde moment.

3. Which book caused your last intense book hangover?

I haven't had a book hang over for a while so unsure of this, can't remember...

4. What do you love most AND least about blogging?

I love connecting with others and commenting on others blogs and answering my own comments. I least like having to remember when I have to post info... I think I need a calendar for blog tours!

5. Favorite dessert?

I like anything lemon based, so hmm cheesecake?

6. What's your biggest guilty pleasure?

Got to be chocolate, I don't eat it often but when I do I will sit and stuff my face for it ha ha!

7. Favorite time of day?

Night time, perfect for curing up in bed and reading.

8. What was your favorite book from childhood?

Katy and the magic dreamboat... don't ask!!

9. Biggest phobia?

Spiders augh!!!

10. Best book boyfriend?

Got to be Holder from Hopeless, Colleen Hoover

11. City or Country?

This is a tricky one again! I currently live in the country but not far from London so it's perfect getting the best of both worlds. I would say country with a quick journey!

Now to nominate eleven bloggers whose blogs I love. There are so many great ones out there so its hard to pick only eleven, so I have decided to pick people who I think I have recently discovered over the last few months.

Liebster Award

I was really pleased that I have been nominated for the Liebster Award by Sheli over at Sheli Reads!

So what is the Liebster Award?

The idea behind the award is to give new and upcoming bloggers the opportunity to build their community and get to know one another. It’s the perfect way to meet new people and let them find out some interesting facts about you.

Here’s some rules:
1. Answer the questions that the tagger set for you plus create questions for the people you’ve tagged to answer;
2. Nominate some other bloggers!
3. Let them know!

These are the questions I was asked:

1. If you could be any fictional character who would you be?

Becky Bloomwood, I already feel like I am her half the time. 

2. What is your favourite film/TV adaptation?

The notebook, it's a wonderful film and it doesn't matter how many times I watch it, I always end up in tears. 

3. What was your favourite book as a child?

My favourite book as a child has to be 'Katy Laura and the Dream boat' by Elizabeth Foster I still have it today!

4. Do you read any non-fiction? If so, what topic do you read about?

I read a lot of travel books, I have shelves of travel books on my bookshelf. I have the travel bug and frequently browse these trying to decide where to visit next. 

5. What book are you going to read next?

I think I am going to read Tempting Fate, it has been on my TBR pile a long time!

6. What has been your favourite book of 2013 so far?

Hmmm this is a tough one as I have read so many great books so far this year. I think though A Tap on the Window - Linwood Barclay might top it. 

7. Who would play you in a movie about your life?

Hmm I am unsure of this as I have never thought about it before... I think maybe Reese Witherspoon. Don't ask why!

8. Can you read in more than one language?

Basic French, but not enough to read a book. 

9. Which author would you recommend readers follow on Twitter for entertainment purposes?

Lindsey Kelk


10. What book is at the top of your Christmas wishlist?

This is another tricky question! I think though 'Just for Christmas'

Ok, now for my questions.

1. What book have you had on yourself for what feels like years but never got round to reading?
2. Which book would you recommend everyone to read at least once in their life?
3. Who is your favourite book character?
4. If you could only ever read one more book what would you choose? 
5. How many books do you have on your TBR pile?
6. Which book that features travel has made you want to visit that place?
7. Where do you love to read?
