I am pretty sure I have participated in this award before, but I was nominated by the lovely Olivia @ Olivia's Catastrophe and I decided I will definitely participate once again. Thank you very much Olivia! Check out her post here.

Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you
Answer the 11 questions asked
Nominate at least 3 bloggers with less than 200 followers.
Ask them 11 new questions
The Questions and My Responses
1.) Do you prefer
a male or female character POV?
I honestly love both, but I feel like most of my favorite books are from a male's POV. These include the Percy Jackson Series, Everybody Sees the Ants, The Rithmatist, The Giver, etc.
2.) What is your
favourite and least favourite thing about blogging?
My favorite is getting to comment on other people's post and reading and replying to comments on my posts. It is fun to connect with people who read your blog. It is actually very difficult for me to think of my least favorite because I really love pretty much every aspect of blogging. My least favorite thing though, would probably have to be the very, very ocassional email I get from authors who feel as if I am entitled to read their book and give it a good review. Am I right?
3.) If there was
one author you could meet, who would it be?
RICK RIORDAN ALL THE WAY!
4.) How do you
choose what you are going to read next?
Lol! This is a very funny question to me. I feel like there are some people out there who have a whole formula and system to what they read and when they read it, but honestly, I am in no way like that. My method is really traditional and rather simple. Here, let me break it down for you:
Step 1: I get into the reading mood
Step 2: I decide its time to pick what book to read next
Step 3: I walk over to my shelves
Step 4: I inspect my shelves, looking at every book I have not read
Step 5: I pick out the one that gives me the most pleasure envisioning myself reading it
And that is pretty much it. Enlightening right?
5.) What is one
thing you can’t stand in a romance?
I know pretty much everyone cannot stand instalove. Olivia even said it in her Liebster Award post, but I guess I should at least try to be original and say something else. I really do not like stalkery (Wow Chioma that's not even a word) relationships. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about. The ones where the guy is always staring at the girl through her window at night or the girl appears with the guy around every single corner. Yeah, those ones. And to make it even worse, many of the characters act like this behavior is totally normal (Like What???). I'm just over here like: Um helllooo. Are you daft! That's not cute; it's just plain creepy. You need to call the police!
6.) What’s your
favourite song?
Only one song??? I think we are going to have to bend the rules here and change it to plural. Well I am kind of (more like very) in love with Michael Jackson even though he is dead (*tears*), so basically I love any song by him. I am not even going to list my most favorite ones because I am sure you do not want to be here forever. Other favorite songs include: Anything by Marina and the Diamonds, anything by Britney Spears, anything by Sia, anything by Mika, One More Night by Maroon 5, Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder, Only by Nick Minaj, Adore You by Miley Cyrus, Speak now by Taylor Swift, Agolo by Angelique Kidjo......you know what, let me stop. This is getting way out of hand. I will have to save the rest for another blog post.
7.) Which blogger
would you consider to be your closest friend?
I honestly do not have any real "close" blogging friend per say, but I hope I can start making more blogging friends, especially among my fellow teen book bloggers. But here are a list of bloggers I really love and would like to befriend/become closer to.
Olivia @ Olivia's Catastrophe
Jazmin @ This Girl Reads A Lot
Carrie @ The Book Goddess
Wren @ Books in My Suitcase
Holly @ Lost in a Library
Olivia Galt @ Fluttering Pages
Rachel @ A Perfection Called Books
Sunny @ A Sunny Spot
8.) Why did you
start blogging?
Ok guys here I go with my life story. It all started way back in the day. Back when I was just a little innocent child of the age nine. Even at that age, little Chioma enjoyed reading alot and devoted much of her supposedly "class time" in school to hanging out in the library. What a nerd right!?! (just kidding) Anyway, our librarian soon came to know me pretty well and invited me to join her book club. So little Chioma thought, "Wow a club where we read books together and discuss them once a week, in the morning? Sign me up!" (I didn't really think exactly that but you get the gist.) So I gladly joined and in the club, our librarian taught us how to create a blog. Then after every book we read, we would blog about it. Then BAM! My love of blogging was born. Of course this is not the same blog because frankly, I forgot the password to my first one and since then I have had like 5 blogs, but this one has definitely been my most sucessful one. So if you ever happen to stumble upon a very pink book blog that uses a Cutest Blog on the Block theme and is written by a nine year old, then please let me know!
9.) What is your
favourite social media site to use?
Twitter! It is literally one of the best inventions ever because I can pretty much discuss and connect with anyone and everyone. You can follow me @BlueBooksandBs. We can have a discussion about Percy Jackson! Discussing any other books are cool too.
10.) Which
country/fictional world would you visit if you could?
Definitely the Hunger Games! (....that's not even funny. Let me know if you want me to make a post about how to make unfunny jokes. It's quite the talent of mine.) No, but seriously, I would visit Camp Half Blood. (As many of you probably could have guessed)
11.) Which book would
you like to toss into the flames?
None of them! Omg that makes me so sad to even think about. No book deserves such torture...well maybe one. I might just throw Adolf Hitler's book (What was that thing called again?) into the flames just because it would make me feel like I am throwing Hitler into the fire. (Wow. I just noticed how twisted that makes me sound. I promise I am a caring and generous person!)
Whew! We made it throught all those questions. Hopefully you guys were not bored silly listening to me ramble. Now time for the people I nominated.

I love commenting and getting comments, and I agree entirely, entitled authors really put a damper on blogging. GAHHHH it would be amazing to meet Rick Riordan!!! Lol I choose books the exact same way. :)
ReplyDeleteYes commenting is the best and I am glad I am not the only one who uses that book choosing method.
DeleteI can't believe you started blogging at 9 years old. When I was 9 no one had heard of the Internet! Thank you so much for the nomination - I'm not blogging this week because I have a friend visiting but I'll post next weekend!
ReplyDeleteYeah my nine year old blogging was not good, but it was something. I can't wait to see your post!
DeleteI really like Michael Jackson too. I am so addicted to Twitter! I'd want to visit the Harry Potter world :) Awww I'd like to be better friends with you too :) <33
ReplyDeleteRachel @ A Perfection Called Books
MJ and Twitter all the way! Harry Potter is cool too. Thanks! I really love your blog.

So very appreciated!! Love the new blog design, by the way.
Thank you! I will check your post out.
DeleteCongrats on the nomination! And thanks for nominating me - I've already been nominated and answered questions for this before. BUT I love answering questions, so i'll still do yours. Thank you!!
ReplyDeletePercy Jackson is the best. LOVE that series!!
Yes! I love getting to interact with other bloggers and having people to discuss bookish things with.
RICK RIORDAN. I'm with you on that one!
That's my method, too. :) I'm a mood reader, so that's pretty much how it works.
Maroon 5 and Taylor Swift are great. One More Night is my favorite Maroon 5 song, too.
Awww, thanks! I'd love to get to know you more, too. Just based on our mutual love for all things Percy Jackson, I'd say we already have a lot in common!
That's so cool! That's so awesome that even a a little kid, you had were blogging.
CHB all the way!!
Olivia @ Fluttering Pages
I can't wait to see your answers. I will definitely be coming to you to discuss Rick Riordan books from now on!
