Alex’s questions:

• A readathon that you take part in?
  Uh, I don’t take part in readathons because of school and stuff.
  
• What inspires you to blog?
  My reader, firstly. Secondly, the fact that my blog is sole solace at some points of time.
  
• What one of your posts needs more views and likes?
  Well, on a serious note, my post Rape- A Heinous Crime needs more views if not likes.
  
• One thing that you started doing during the lockdown and are still doing?
  Blogging 🙂
  
• What’s that quote you always keep in mind?
  

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

-Albus Dumbledore

• Your current favourite snack?
  Popcorn I suppose.
  
• What’s your favourite family recipe?
  There is this really healthy wheat-jaggery cake which I simply love!
  
• Would you choose money or love?
  I honestly don’t know. Money, maybe- because even though we say it doesn’t buy you happiness, at a point of time it does.
  
• Pick a food to eat forever?
  There is this Indian chaat called Pani Puri- I choose that!
  
• A book or show you read/watch over and over?
  Well, I have read Harry Potter over seven times, so I guess I will go with that.
  
• Do you have any blogging tips?
  Okay, let me make this clear- I am no expert at blogging. But a couple of things that I have learnt while blogging are that
  1. Reach out to other bloggers- let them know you exist.
  2. Diversify your blog content. If you are a book blogger, don’t just post book reviews- do tags, weekly memes, discussions etc. There is so much more to the world of book blogging than just reviews.

My Questions:

1. What is the one thing you like about my blog? What is the one thing you don’t? (Sorry, I just really want feedback from my readers)
2. Where do you see yourself five years from now?
3. What do you think will be your next 5-star read?
4. One piece of advice you wish you had when you started blogging?
5. How do you treat a reading slump?
6. Do you aspire to write a book someday?
7. One person who inspires you?
8. What book or book series were you not expecting to love/hate?
9. What is one thing that you love about the book blogging community? 
10. What are your top 3 favorite fictional cities/kingdoms/regions?
11. A GIF that describes your current read?

I nominate:

1. Lilly @Lilly’s Little Library

3. Create 7 unique questions.
4. Nominate 10 bloggers. Ensure that they are aware of their nomination. Neither the award’s creator, nor the blogger that nominated you, can be nominated.

Pavithra’s Questions:

  Don’t laugh at me- Ayodhya is fictional

  In case my blog doesn’t make it clear already- it is reading. I am also beginning to start to love blogging because it provides an escape from the tyranny of this world
  
• Which social media you use the most?
  Uh… WordPress😂 I am also active on my email, although you need to drop a comment that you have emailed to me as otherwise I might miss it. I am also active on Goodreads. I have an Instagram account but reach me out there only when I haven’t responded any place else as I don’t really use it much.
