I have been nominated for the Mystery Blogger Award by Darinda and Molly. Many thanks to both of you for thinking of me and for anyone who hasn’t yet come across their blogs I encourage you to visit and follow them because they both publish great content!
THREE THINGS ABOUT MYSELF
- I always struggle when answering the question “Where are you from?” because I consider myself a citizen of the world after having lived in various countries. I have friends from all around the world and am constantly changing between languages and I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way.
- My biggest dream in life since I was eight years old is to have a dog and I am slowly getting closer to making that dream come true.
- Apart from reading, my biggest passion is ballroom dancing which I started when I was seven and hope to never give up.
MY TOP POSTS
Book review: The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
Disappointing books and managing high expectations
MY ANSWERS TO DARINDA’S QUESTIONS:
- How many books are on your TBR, and how long will it take you to read them? – I currently have 99 books on my TBR list, which I know for many isn’t a lot but it’s the most I’ve ever had! I usually read around 50 books per year on average so it would probably take me around 2 years to read them but unfortunately the list keeps growing so I don’t know when I’ll ever finish them!
- Who is an author you will read without reading the book blurb first? – Jodi Picoult
- Name a fictional character you love to read about, but would find insufferable in real life. – Robert Langdon because I can just imagine how technical our discussions would be!
- What are three things on your bucket list? – Have a dog, travel the world, start my own business
- Funny: If you could have a superpower, what would it be? – Teleport so I could visit my family who are scattered around the world all in one day
MY ANSWERS TO MOLLY’S QUESTIONS:
- Do you have any favourite festive reads? if so, what are they? – I don’t unfortunately but I have seen some great reviews for Josie Silver’s One Day in December so I am planning on making it my festive read for this year!
- Who is your all time favourite book character? – Lisbeth Salander
- Are you planning on posting Christmassy content in December? – I sure am!
- What is the one book you would recommend to anyone? – The Great Gatsby
- Do you have any Christmas traditions? – Oh, so many! We still have a Bulgarian Christmas on the 24th where we make an odd number of dishes as tradition calls for and on Christmas Day we tend to have a leisurely morning with cake (it’s my mum’s birthday) before we open the presents and start preparing our usual lunchtime roast.
NOMINATIONS
(As always there is no pressure to do this tag at all!)

How amazing is it that you’ve lived all over the world! Aw, I hope your dream of having a dog comes true soon. Teleporting would be a really useful superpower to have! Ahh, thank you so much for nominating me for this, that’s so sweet of you – I can’t wait to answer your questions! 💜

Ahh I would definitely read Jodi Picoult’s books without reading the blurb too!
And ballroom dancing? That’s really cool! I’d love to learn it but there aren’t classes for it where I live. 😅

Yes, I agree about Jodi Picoult’s books, I often just pick the book up without reading the blurb! Ah yes ballroom dancing is only really famous in a few countries, I struggled in finding a dance school here in Spain!

You live in Spain?! Nice! I really want to visit and might do a solo trip there next year. But I’m not sure. 😅

You won’t be disappointed if you do, there are so many amazing places in Spain!
