Hi Everyone! I’m back again with an award post because they are fun to do! I’m happy to announce to you that Lu @ Girl Who Reads nominated me for the Mystery Blogger Award! Please take some time to check out her blog. She has many fun posts to read: buddy read book reviews, tags, NaBloPoMo Prompt posts, etc. Thank you Lu for the award nomination! This award was created by Okoto Enigma and below is her explanation for the award. Thank you for creating this award to recognize our fellow bloggers!

– Okoto Enigma

3 FACTS ABOUT ME:
1) I Hoard more books than I can read.
2) I get a hair cut once a year.
3) I feel irritated by those people who followed me, then I followed back, then turns around and unfollowed me. (Twitter & Instagram).
QUESTIONS FROM LU:
1.What made you the happiest you’ve ever been this year?
I love it that many fellow bloggers are tagging me to many tags and nominating me to many awards. Thank you for thinking of me! I know I’m behind on doing many of them but it’s better late than never!
2.If you could do one more great thing, and one only, what would you do?
I need to read those books that the writers took the time out of their busy schedule to email me to request me to read their books. I have 6 and I haven’t started on any of them because I already have scheduled buddy reads until Dec 16th! Who else is fighting for time like me? hehe..
3.What are two of your life goals?
To finish university and obtain a professional career that allows me to have my own office in a tall building. I have since obtained both of those goals, just that I have always ended up sitting on the first floor even though at one time, I worked in a building with 20 floors and we sometimes have meetings on the 18th floor!
4.Do you consider yourself a clumsy person?
No. I’m in the middle I think.
5.Weird: What was your most recent dream about?
I dreamed that I was in a car accident. This year I have been in two car accidents before this dream. They were minor ones. I didn’t get hurt, but I felt scared.

Oh how funny you mentioned that you hate when people follow then unfollow You – this happened to me for the FIRST time in ten years! I guess I am not doing what they want or like for their reasons. I figured what I blog about it non of their business then and good riddens! Bless you for sharing the award and telling us what you like – this is such a fun way to expression and getting to know our fellow bloggers. I am Jackie and hope to see much more of your posts in 2017! Happy New Year

Thank you Jackie for finding my blog. People follow & unfollow because they only want to collect followers. I see some accounts show followers like 14k and follow zero. That person is not interesting at all. So you wonder how they can have that many followers. Some people may not bother to unfollow him/her but I will 😊

Thanks for the nomination!! It does feel great to be nominated for so many awards and tags, right? They are a ton of fun– but I find they often mean I am spending more time on tags than reviews. Oops!
These are great questions. I can’t wait to reply. Eventually. 😉

But I get really frustrated by those people who unfollow easily – you can just tell they’re in it for the followers and not to make more meaningful connections/because they like your content, etc.
Great answers – it was awesome to learn more about you 🙂

OmG, I HATE those kind of ppl on twitter (I don’t have Instagram) that follow you just so you’d follow them back, and then they unfollow you as soon as you hit follow button.
And then if you unfollow them, they hit follow button again.
I mean, don’t contact me, I don’t need you in my life!
And some authors (upcoming as I noticed) do that to, and if you do it, I won’t even read your book, I can promise you that!
I won’t trash it, I will just ignore you and your work.
But I learned how to recognize those kind of followers, you can see then have few thousends followers and follow sth like 400 ppl, and especially if they are life style, beauty or travel bloggers.

My account may look that way with low total following but most of them were junk and they followed me when I was not using it last year. I agree with everything you are saying and yes, don’t bother to read their book. I like that Twitter shows if they follow you back. Instagram doesn’t indicate so it’s hard to tell. Some people even have 20k of followers and they still follow & unfollowed. How irritating!

Thank you so much for the tag 😊💕!! I know what you mean about being behind on review books. I have two where both authors said to review whenever I could but I still feel bad that I’ve had them for months and haven’t been able to get to them. Also, it bothers me when I follow people back only for them to unfollow me too. So annoying. 😣
