Julianne's Questions! 
What is your first book(first love) you've read?
My first love book would have to be The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss when I was three! My mom read it to me so much I had memorized it, so when company would come over, I'd pull out the book and "read" it to them!

In the scale of 1-10 how addicted are you to books?
On a scale of 1-10, I would have to be an 8! 

If you could describe yourself with one word what would it be?
Lol, awkward c;
Imagine the typical high school stereotype. In all of those groups where do you belong?
I feel like I belong in between a nerd and and one of the "quiet" kids.

(I had to ask) What cartoon or anime character is you all time favorite?
My all time favorite would have to be Zero off of Vampire Knight

If you had a book that you've read that you really hate, what would it be?
This one is a little controversial, but 13 Reasons Why is definitely the only book I have ever truly hated. 

Who is the best hero and heroine for you?
The best hero would be Cage York and the best heroine would be Eva Brooks! Both are off of While It Lasts by Abbi Glines!

Who is your fave author for life?
Ohhh, fangirling herrree, but Abbi Glines!

In between blogging about books. What else do you do?
I go to school! I'm a full time high school student, part time college student, and in July I'll be starting a course to get my nail tech certification! 

Which do you prefer, authors with publishers or indie authors?
They both have their pros and cons, but I'd say I have to prefer authors with publishers, even if they're small publishing houses. But I have run across more than a few fabulous indie authors! I don't look at if they have a publisher or not, I look at the quality of the book itself.

What's the one tip you could give to other new bloggers?
One tip would be getting yourself out there! Posting reviews on Goodreads, Amazon, etc is a way. Joining groups on Goodreads targeted towards connecting reviewers with authors is another great way!
