Annabeth Chase or Hermione Granger because they are so smart!!!!

10. What is your favourite animal/creature from a book and why?

Emily’s Questions:

1. What’s your favorite book and how did you find it?

Emily! Just one favourite book?! I refuse to answer this question, because of this outrageous question you have asked! #protest.

2. Do you ever regret starting a book blog?

I actually don’t. It’s a pleasure and an honour that the book blogging community has accepted me, and I am happy to be here!

3. If you had to choose a different bookish platform, apart from blogging, what would you choose?

Youtube, because I really want a booktube!

4. Library or bookstore?

Bookstore. New books>>>> Old books.

5. Do your IRL friends/coworkers know about your blog?

Yes, they do, and some of them are very supportive as well!

6. What is your biggest goal?

7. Do you use bookmarks?

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t.

Oh, dear lord, Emily, what are these questions?! I guess I would recommend The Places I’ve Cried in Public by Holly Bourne

10. Did you read blogs before starting your own?

No, I didn’t, which was a BIG mistake, on my part.

11. What’s your least favorite part of reading?

The inability to talk to characters, and knock some sense into them, or tell them that they are trusting the villain etc. etc.

Asic’s Questions:

1. Give me 5 books that you would rate 5 stars
   Hmm.. five books I’ve rated five stars are Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne, Loveless by Alice Oseman, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and The Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie.
   
2. If you could rename your blog to anything else, what would it be?
   I don’t know, Ridh’s Bookish Club or something? If I could go back in time I would definitely change my blog name though, since there’s a website titled Whispering Stories with a dotcom domain :((
   
3. Would you rather be an expert at one thing or be good at many things?
   I think I am not an expert at any one thing, but am good at multiple ones, so I think I would wanna be an expert at one thing now, lol.
   
4. Maths or science??
   MATHS. MATHS SUPREMACY MAX.
   
5. Pancakes or waffles?
   Homemade pancakes and waffles from a restaurant. I haven’t really mastered the art of making waffles- well I don’t have a waffle machine, so I make bubble waffles, and those are tricky!
   
6. What’s one thing about your blog that you love?
   Oh, this is difficult! I mean, I love my blog so much, it’s difficult to pick one thing! AAAAH, no I can’t do this!
   
7. If you could change one thing about your life what would it be?
   I don’t want to share this, it’ll get too deep and cringey, so no.
   
8. Black ink or blue ink?
   BLACK. Blue ink for some reason annoys the hell out of me, especially in OMRs and stuff. There’s no rhyme or rhythm to it, it’s just a weird thing for me.
   
9. Are you scared for spotify wrapped up just like me, or are you ok with your music taste being out in the open?
   I mean, I don’t really mind because it’s really random with a lot of Taylor Swift?
   
10. What are 3 things you would rate 10/10?
    The concept of books, the concept of music, and a good hair day.
    
11. What are 3 things on the other hand, that you would rate 0/10?
    Uhh… That moment when you want to tell someone something, and call out their name a gazillion times, only to forget what that something was, and end up getting glared at, that moment when your maggi (noodles) don’t have enough spice, that moment when the pasta sauce you’ve made at home becomes too milky/thin.
