Today, there were some questions on their blog to answer in order to introduce oneself a little. The entirety of the "first group" is to be answered, while only 4-5 of the second group are meant to be answered. Without futher ado, here are some of my answers!
Group 1:
1. What is the name you prefer to use?
Emma.
2. How long have you
been a book blogger?
I can't quite remember... I think since Summer 2013?
3. Have you participated in ABEA before?
No, this is my first time!
Group 2:
1. Do you have a
favorite book? If you cannot choose a favorite book of all time, pick your
favorite book today - just this second. Remember that favorites are allowed to
change if something affects you deeply enough.
Unlike some (most?) people, I know exactly what to say when
someone asks me for my favorite book: "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien.
This is my most cherished book. I love everything about it - Bilbo Baggins is
the fictional character I relate the most to out of every book, movie, or TV
show. I love Tolkien's writing style in this, the little bits of humor, the
characterization, the fizzy, happy feeling that fills me whenever I so much as
read the opening sentence. This will never change as my favorite book, I know
that already!
2. What is your
favorite genre and why?
Fantasy is by far my favorite genre. To be specific,
High/Epic Fantasies, especially if there are multiple books in the series! I
love the magic, and how it transports me to another world when I want to escape
this one. There is such variation in Fantasy, and I love the creativity that
the authors always put into their work
3. How do you arrange
your bookshelves? Is there a rhyme or reason? Or not at all?
It's kind of (mostly) random - I arrange by height,
author/series, and the most recent books I bought!
4. What book are you most excited for on your TBR? What are
you most intimidated by?
Now, for the TBR that I promised in the title of this post.
- The Warlock by Michael Scott - Currently reading this one, I'm a little ways through, but still have hundreds of pages to go. I'm excited for this!
- The Enchantress by Michael Scott - Aww, the last book in the series. I'm going to be so sad to be finishing up my reread of this series, since I like it so much! Hopefully I'll finish this during the ReadAThon, though I doubt I will...
- Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare - For class. Not going to read all of it, but totally going to count what I do end up reading of it. Haha.
After that, if I finish those, no clue what I'll pick up!
I'm excited about all of them, but I think The Enchantress" is my most
anticipated.
5. If you could choose three characters to have lunch with,
who would they be and why?
Ooh, this is a good question to be sure! I think I'd have to
invite Bilbo Baggins, of course. Hobbits make the best tea, and we could talk
about his adventures and maybe some books, since we both enjoy reading.
Luna
Lovegood would be my second choice, as she is such a dreamer, and I would love
to just learn so much about her and what's going on in her head. I'm sure she'd
have many interesting factoids for me.
The last character I would love to have tea with is Mr.
Tumnus from the Chronicles of Narnia series by C.S. Lewis. These books were
part of my childhood, and being able to talk with an actual faun would just be
too cool. Again, he seems great at making tea.

This was my introduction and TBR, if you are also
participating then you could link to your own post, if not you can tell me your
answers, if you want! Have a great day!
