1. Please tell us a little bit about yourself: Who are you? How long have you been blogging? Why did you get into blogging? Where in the world are you blogging from?
I'm Charlene, I've been blogging for more than two years now, and first decided to start a blog because I wanted a place I can prettify to keep all my book reviews. I live in California where it is currently a little cool and cloudy which is perfect book reading weather. (Because anything is good book reading weather for me!)
2. Describe your blog in just one sentence. Then, list your social details -- Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. -- so we can connect more online.
My blog is equal parts book reviews, discussions, and general enthusiasm and fangirling with a little bit of hopefully useful knowledge thrown in.

3. What was your favorite book read last year? What’s your favorite book so far this year?
From last year it was the amazing Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta. This year is a really hard question, but I think I'll go with the lovely and captivating Stolen Songbird by Danielle Jensen. More people need to know about this book!
4. Share your favorite book or reading related quote.
“A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called "leaves") imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time ― proof that humans can work magic.”
- Carl Sagan
5. If you were stranded on a deserted island, what 3 books would you bring? Why? What 3 non-book items would you bring? Why?
This is all I need really:
But for three books, I would want to have Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë (my favorite book), Austenland by Shannon Hale (to make me smile) and Faith of the Fallen by Terry Goodkind (for the inspiring and thought-provoking plot.)
