Have you previously participated in Armchair BEA? What brought you back for another year? If you have not previously participated, what drew you to the event?
This is my first Armchair BEA. I first read about it on Twitter and since I'm unable to go to the real thing, I thought this would be incredibly fun. I've jumped in with both feet...I'm also a cheerleader this year.
Tell us one non-book-related thing that everyone reading your blog may not know about you.
I'm the queen of sarcasm.
If you could eat dinner with any author or character, who would it be and why?
I'd have dinner with the Darkling from Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. Anyone who follows me on Twitter has heard me say that he wants me to marry him and have his evil little babies. So I guess it could be the rehearsal dinner for our big wedding.
What is your favorite part about the book blogging community?
This one is really easy...the interaction with other book loving people! I love reading comments here on my blog, leaving comments on my favorite blogs and interacting on Twitter.
Welcome to ArmchairBEA, you are in for a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteIt's been fun so far. Love meeting at the new people ;-)
DeleteI love The Darkling! Have you read Siege and Storm yet? I'm very excited for that one.
ReplyDeleteLove him! No, I haven't read it yet. I actually pre-ordered a copy of it! Can't wait to get it.
DeleteTotally agree about loving the interaction of the book blog community! Reading can be so solitary, and this is a great way to make it less so.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy A-BEA!
The community is the best part. I love meeting all these people who love books as much as I do. It's so much fun.
DeleteThis is my first year doing Armchair, too! The Darkling is a great choice!
ReplyDeleteI wish I were at BEA but Armchair BEA is the next best bet. It's been really fun.
DeleteI hope you have a fantastic time with Armchair BEA this year! I'll probably never make it to the actual conference, but I think it's actually an improvement to participate in my pajamas. :) Cheers-- Kelly @ Reading with Analysis
ReplyDeleteThere is a plus to participate in my pajamas! That's a great point. Hope you have a great time too. ;-)
DeleteHi, Dana! Does your name rhyme with banana like mine does, or do you pronounce it "day-nuh"? I love The Darkling as well, and a dinner date with him would be amazing. Hope you have fun this week!
ReplyDelete- Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl
Like Day Nuh. I've often wondered how you pronounce your name too...I had it right actually! Shadow and Bone is one of my favorite books this year and I think that he would be interesting to say the least!
DeleteOhh, how I love sarcasm! :D
ReplyDeleteWe should be BFFs! ;-) I just can't help the sarcasm sometimes. And not everyone appreciates it.
DeleteI wish I had signed up to be a cheerleader :) I've been hopping around and commenting like a fool so I might as well have, lol.
ReplyDeleteHave a super fun ABEA!
Cheerleading is fun. Like you said, I knew that I'd be commenting so I might as well make it "official" Enjoy Armchair BEA this wee!
