I decided to join Armchair BEA and this is the first post: a self interview where I answer 5 questions. Hopefully I can get all the posts since I wont have a lot of Wi-Fi. Ugh. So here it is:
Armchair BEA: Please tell us a little bit about yourself: Who are you? How long have you been blogging? Why did you get into blogging?
Fiction Freak: I'm a teen blogger who (I'm saying this for the fifth time) can not believe how many followers I have! It's just mind blowing! I've been blogging for 7 months and first got into it because...in all honesty, I was just bored on Thanksgiving. All my friends called be a book freak and I joked saying I was a fiction freak since I hated textbooks. I got so bored I just decided why not? And started this blog. It only made sense at the time.
A BEA: What are you currently reading, or what is your favorite book you have read so far in 2012?
FF: I'm currently reading Katana by Cole Gibsen which is rocking my face off! I can't believe how awesome it is. My favorite book, however, has to be Sweet Evil! It was absolutely stunning!
A BEA: If you could eat dinner with any author or character, who would it be and why?
FF: Meghan from The Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa for sure! Her or Ash, but I'm afraid that if it was a dinner with Ash I'd be swooning all night. So let's go with Meghan. Why? Because I've always loved the series and I'd love to ask Meghan why she did some things or how she felt on other things. There are just so many things that aren't revealed. Like if Keenan was actually born!
A BEA: What is your favorite part about the book blogging community? Is there anything that you would like to see change in the coming years?
FF: All the authors and bloggers I meet and the books I'm introduced to! I've met so many awesome people and Haas some fun interviews with such talented authors. Bloggers make amazing friends especially since they have a giant love for books thar can challenge mine! And I can't think of much I'd love to change except for the fact that a few bloggers aren't exactly nice to others because of how many followers we have. But I have met a lot of nice bloggers too, so I can't say anything bad.
A BEA: Have your reading tastes changed since you started blogging? How?
FF: Yes actually! I used to end up reading unsatisfying books that made my stomach churn in a bad way or just...ugh. But now, thankfully, I can sniff out a good book! It's such a relief!
~°~
So how was it? Fun? Not so fun? Well I hope you enjoyed!
Yes it was a fun Interview. Especially the part where if you ate dinner with Ash you would be "swooning all night". Lol, so would I! I have yet to read Sweet Evil but since you found it "stunning", I will have to read it next. Nice to get to know you better Nikki, and will talk to you later. =)

Great answers. Looking forward to the rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteHi FF! I started my book blog because I was bored at work. It's a wonder what boredom can lead to, right?
ReplyDeleteHappy ABEA!
It's amazing what can be produced out of boredom. I hope you continue to enjoy it for years to come.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog & your answers! Hope you have fun as you keep blogging!
ReplyDeleteLooks like that bored day has led to some fun ;) Great interview!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great result of boredom! If only all boredom resulted in greatness :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I also love the blogging community, although I'm sorry not everyone has been nice. Congratulations on your followers!
Thanks for stopping by my Armchair BEA Intro Post!
Glad that you decided to stick it out and congrats on the seven months of blogging! Glad you've made a bunch of friends and have a following for your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteKatana is on my list of books to read. Glad to hear it rocks! Must read that soon.
Hope you're having fun participating in Armchair BEA.
Hi, nice to meet you! :) I totally agree with your thoughts about the blogging community. Everyone here is so amazing and friendly and it's great to meet people who share your passion for books!
ReplyDeleteI'm like you...I only read Fiction, completely skip the non-fiction everything. Welcome to Armchair BEA!
ReplyDeleteYou hang out with Megan at that dinner and I'll entertain Ash - *major swoon*. LOVE those books.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating!
Here's my intro

Hi! Ah I'm trying to be more discerning with my reading because I hate giving a negative review but we'll see how it's working out. Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteHi There!
ReplyDeleteIt can be difficult reading things that aren't very good, can't it? I'm glad that you are finding more interesting titles out there! :)
It is so great to go from good book to good book. Greatness. Going to have to check out Sweet Evil & Kantana, because I want my face rocked off.
ReplyDeleteYES! I would totally love to have dinner with Meghan and Ash! I'd probably just swoon and faint halfway through, though! ;)
ReplyDeleteMy BEA Intro
I agree with the last one SO much! I used to read everything and feel bad DNFing it. Now I don't feel guilty..but I also don't have many I can't finish! It's so much easier to find good books when I have a little guidance.
ReplyDeleteLOL, the swooning part is the reason I didn't really take one of my fiction-boys to dinner either. ;) It would be awesome but... probably awkward for me! Hahah.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm so glad you can now sniff up the good ones. ;) I used to have trouble DNFing books, just as Amanda above, but now I've realized it's not worth sticking with the bad ones! If it's not for me, it's not.
Thanks for stopping by! :D So nice to meet you.
I love Meaghan and Ash from the Iron Fey series - good choice!
ReplyDeleteI love the Iron Fey series too... so great choice on characters to hang with. :)
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you.
Blogging does help you avoid those duds, at least usually. Nice to meet you.
