The Blogger Behind the Books Tag


Welcome to The Blogger Behind the Books tag, put together by the Sky Blue team from Nori’s Book Blogger Creativity Project.
Our team wanted to learn more about each other, but we also wanted to incorporate the things that had brought us all together – books! So we put together this tag with a few different books and the conversations they started. I hope you enjoy it!
Don't miss that the rest of Sky Blue will be posting over the next few days, so make sure you check out their blogs.


One of the last nights in my homeland, before I was moving to another country. That night, I was spending it with some friends. Even though we didn't do much that night, we were happy and joking around. It's one of the best night I had so far. 


I'm irritaly in love with villains and RPG horror games. Both, don't let me sleep and I try don't do it again but I still do that.


Where family, positive atmosphere, and peace are, is a place I call home. 


I become the total fangirl when it about Marvel movies, time traveling, Disney movies, and the world of Avatar: the Last Airbender.


J.K. Rowling she is the most influential person in my life. Her stories did not only my childhood, also the childhoods of several kids and helped millions of people. Also look everything that was made from her. She was rejected several times with the first book of Harry Potter but she keep insisting and she made it. And now she is one of the most influencial people alive and she donated a large quantity of  money to charity.




In the graduation of High School. It was a beautiful event and all of my classmates had the same feelings as me. Even though that we were using the uniforms, every single one of us, it was different. The last event of HS of us, the last day wearing uniforms and the day we become bachelors (in my country we graduate HS with a bachelors degree, but when you go to another country that degree becomes a high school diploma). 


I almost have die (accidentally) three times, from 3 different reasons. In the last one, I learned that I have to appreciate to live in the moment because you'll never know when it's going to be the end.


If we keep following this path of destruction and war, we are heading straight in that direction.

Review Love And Other Alien Experiences by Kerry Winfrey

ABOUT   
In this heartwarming debut by HelloGiggles blogger Kerry Winfrey, a young agoraphobe begins a journey of first love that leads her to the true meaning of home—just by taking one small step outside of her house. 
My name is Mallory Sullivan.
My therapist says I have an anxiety disorder.
My brother says I’m an “optimistic recluse.”
Everybody else says I’m a freak.

And they kind of have a point, because I haven’t left the house in 67 days and only attend class via the webcam on my laptop. The person I talk to the most other than my mom and brother is the completely obnoxious BeamMeUp, and all we do is argue on New Mexico’s premiere alien message board.

But after yesterday, I have something: a chance. If I can win the homecoming crown by convincing resident hot popular guy and Friday Night Lights spawn Brad Kirkpatrick to go as my date, then maybe #stayathome will never appear next to the name @Mallory_Sullivan ever again. But first, I have to leave my room. 


REVIEW 
This is the story about the young Mallory overcomes her anxiety to do be the Homecoming Queen of her school  .
Title: It fits perfectly to this story. .
Characters: You will LOVE every single one of them.

Narrative: First person, POV of Mallory.
Story:
ADORABLE and it want me to throw my dad's iPad through the windows because of the adorable frustration. It not something I have read before and I read this book in like 2 days and is quite entertaining. 

Setting:  US, 2015.  
Conclusion: This is a sweet and quirky YA novel. The girl is not ordinary like the other girls of her age, and that makes her a unique girl (Plus she likes Physics like me). This story may not be something that I usually be reading, but it was a fast pace read and I enjoyed read it. It deserves 4 out 5 points. 

I would love more of the story but it was a good book, from beginning to end.

    BLOG TAG: SECRET LIFE OF A BOOK BLOGGER!!!

    Hello everyone! Thank you so much to Nori from ReadWriteLove28 for tagging me for this!

    How long have you been a blogger?
    I started blogging in July of 2015. I'm practically a newbie.

    At what point do you think you will stop?
    When it stop being fun for me, that's when I will stop. But so far, this have been a good ride that I don't want it to end.

    What is the best thing?
    THE BOOK COMMUNITY. I feel we are like this happy family where we support and help each other.

    What is the worst thing? What do you do to make it okay?
    When some bloggers spoil some books for me. It's not okay, and because of that I need to have some precautions when I look for a book online.

    How long does it take you to create/find pictures to use?
    Depends, if I don't found the gif I want to put on a post, I have to make it and takes a long time. But if I found the image that I want to put, it's less time and it's more quickly.

    Who is your book crush?
    Sam from Assassin's Blade and Howl from Howl's Moving Castle
    What author would you like to have on your blog?
    Any author that wants to be on my blog.For me is going to be a pleasure to do it.
    What do you wear when you write your blog posts?
    Pajamas, or pajama's shorts with a comfortable shirt.

    How long does it take you to prepare?
    With Lyrics Book Tag, I start doing it after I post the one of the week, and I do it through the week. In the case of the reviews , I try to do them the same day as I finish the book because that way I have my mind fresh with the knowledge of the book and I it's more hard for me to forget something after I finish it but I do it's a draft to make sure I don't miss anything and to make sure I don't spoil anything, and after that I check if I don't have any mistakes or translation problems (English is my second language so sometimes I have translation problems)
    How do you feel about the book blogger community/culture?
    I really like it, as what I stated before. I feel we are this family in which we can help each other.

    What do you think one should do to get a successful blog?
    You should have some weekly posts and tags and write things you like.

    This was a fun post for you all to read!
    Now…I tag…

    Fantasy Angel from Avid Reader
    Gabi from BooksABlog
