GIVEAWAY

Feature and Follow

Friday, March 21, 2014
 I would like to thank Alison Can Read and Parajunkee for having me as a feature this week. (Yaaaay!) 

This week's question:

How have your reading habits changed in the past few years? Did you get interested in a new genre? Do you read more? Less? Why do you think your habits changed, if they did. 

Here are a few things that changed from when I was a kid:
  1. My reading time. I was always able to find time to read during daytime before. Now, all my time is devoted to studies and other stuff, that I just find myself being able to read during night time only, which kind of reduced my reading time. A lot. :(
  2. My reading place. I'm not very comfortable with reading in other places other than in bed anymore. (Might have to do with the fact that I read late at night already.)
  3. Books. Physical books slowly became ebooks because they're more portable and less heavy. Though, physical books will always win. Teehee.
  4. Genres. Before, I loved reading mystery/paranormal/suspense books. Now, I don't really like them as much anymore, and just find myself focusing on books with romance and music-related stuff. :)

Interview questions:

When did you start blogging?
I started blogging on May 26, 2013. I remember I was so excited about putting up a book blog that I posted a book review right away on the same day. It was supposed to be This Is What Happy Looks Like, but my brain was crazily all over the place again (as usual) so the review ended up talking about The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight instead. (HAHA)

What is your favorite part of book blogging?
It's gotta be being able to publish new posts on my thoughts about the books I read. I've always had a hard time speaking up about all sorts of things, and having a book blog became an outlet for me to rant or go crazy about a book that I just read, and I just love it, especially when you hear someone going to try out a book because of your review. Awesome!

What types of books do you mainly blog about?
I mainly blog about YA/NA, contemporary romance and music-related stuff. I'm a sucker for those, but other genres like paranormal or dystopian might also appear at times. I'm not a big hater of them, it's just that I don't find a lot of books with that genre that I can come to love easily. (huhu)

What are your favorite books?
Oh, this one's hard. I sorta have a lot of favorite books, but I love books that involve family, and life in general, with a lot of lessons and stuffs. Or the books that are really very cute even though the plot lines are very simple.

What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?
Not much has happened to me because of book blogging, but being able to talk to authors even if it was just a few exchanges of words here and there really felt awesome. I didn't even know that there was this chance to be able to talk to authors before I started book blogging. Oh, and when people just leave comments on posts. That always make my day. Everything's really awesome and amazing. (yay)

Sadly, I'm leaning more towards e-books, too, for the same reason and because so many authors give ebooks away that I am often dying to read!

Hey Pauline! Congrats on being featured this week! That's awesome!! I'm glad you're enjoying blogging so much. It is pretty great. ;) And I am totally with you in that a physical book will win every time! Although I, too, primarily read ebooks. Happy Friday!

You know, I never thought to include how my books have changed over the years. I think I'm split pretty evenly between physical books and eBooks. New perspective.

Congrats on your feature! I totally agree on the ebooks thing. I used to be so against ebooks and now I love them for their portability and that you can highlight quotes on them. I still say paper books win and I prefer reading them but I'm slowly warming up to ebooks.

Happy FF! Old Follower.

Congrats on the feature! I find myself gravitating more towards ebooks for convenience, too. But nothing beats a print copy while curled up in bed!

Congrats on being featured! I've been reading a lot more ebooks lately too. It's taken me a while to like them, but I'm getting there. Paperbacks will always be my favourites though, as I love having real bookshelves full of books!

I'm reading a lot more ebooks than I used to as well. And even more audiobooks. I mostly only "read" on my commutes, since I don't have as much time in the evenings at home.

Congrats on your feature! It's definitely exciting to be a feature and I hope your getting all of the love today! ;)

I absolutely loved reading your answers and I definitely have to agree with you on being able to express (rant) your thoughts about books more easily. That's also the reason why I joined the book blogging world too since I do have a booktube channel over at Pottermorebooks.

Looking forward to your book suggestions! :)

I too seem to be finding eBooks more in more in my library due to the easiness of them, but like you, physicals will always win though!

Congrats for being featured!

I still find myself reading more physical books than ebooks myself. Can't break all old habits!

Following you via Bloglovin and email for the meantime. GFC continues to hate me and won't let me sign in and follow new blogs no matter how many times I write to them!

Have a GREAT day!

Congrats on the feature and dropping by Second Run Reviews. I still prefer physical books because I can SEE them. I have troubles remembering to read by eBooks even though I carry my Nook everywhere I go!

BTW, I added instructions to my FF post on how to find your pages read count on GoodReads.

My bed is my preferred place to read, too! I can read a lot more at night when my husband and kids are asleep. I read more eBooks now, but physical books will always win out for me, too. :) Congratulations on your feature!!! :D

I actually started reading ebooks too when I first discovered them. I do buy the actual books but only when I really love and want to collect it and they are still a win win.
