About Me:

1. I’m super punctual and can’t stand it if people (or trains, trams, airplanes) are running late.
2. I can’t look at operations on tv, but I don’t have any problems reading about bloody stuff in books.
3. I’m the most indecisive person in the world. It’s giving me a lot of grief when I have to buy something, like say shoes. I usually end up buying two (or three) pairs at once in the same style. Lucky for me that at least I hate buying shoes (I know it sounds contradictory but I never find what I want, until I have to) and I only go shoe shopping once a year or even once every two years ;-). Yes the first pair are even the SAME shoes but in a different colour ((used to be) pink/beige-brown). And of course I end up wearing only one pair but at least now I still have another pair when the first are worn out. I get overly attached to items too and always want to find the same thing afterwards (#99 problems).

Favorite Posts:

Well my favorite kind of posts are probably my BFF posts, showing my blog friends, because I get so many nice comments on them and I really like to get a better, more complete image of who my blog friends really are.

It’s funny but it isn’t a review but my post of 2 weeks ago ‘Do you have a book buddle‘ that got the most views and comments since I started blogging. Maybe I should just buy more bookish stuff ;-).

My answers to Dee’s questions:

If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would that be and why?

I’d love to live in a country where I can wear flipflops more than half of the year at least. I’d love to live somewhere warm and just thinking out loud.. I’m thinking Dominican Republic here. I had the biggest culture shock there and I think that’s what attracted me the most.

Who’s your favourite author? The one whose books you automatically pre-order without even knowing what they’re about?

I’m going with Gillian Flynn. She only wrote 3 novels to this day; I loved the darkness in all of them. So her next novel will be bought as soon as it’s out.

Can you think of a character in a book you’d love to invite for dinner?

I have no idea really. I’d love to sit next to Robert Bryndza (yes the author) for dinner though. I know he likes to eat and he seems just like a very friendly, fun and nice person.

Name five books you’d hope to have with you if you were stranded on an island?

1. I am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes (because it’s deliciously thick)
2. I Escaped from Auschwitz by Rudolf Vbra (to never lose perspective)
3. The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons (I haven’t read it yet but it’s got 637 pages)
4. Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover (to make me daydream)
5. On The Island by Tracey Garvis-Garves (because it’s about being stranded, on an island, and it’s a hot romance)

You’re going on a road trip but you can only bring music by one artist. Who do you choose?

Because I can’t think of anybody else right now and he’s my latest focus: Bruno Mars.
