The Mystery Blogger Award

Since I took a tiny step back from blogging last month, I have been having trouble getting back to composing posts that aren’t books reviews or weekly wrap-ups. Then I remember that the lovely Jan @ The Doodlecrafter tagged me to take part in The Mystery Blogger Award back in May and voila! Here were are!

Thank you so much for this, Jan! I am so honoured that you tagged me for this! You guys should check out her beautiful blog because she deserves more love!

3 Things About Me

1. My birthday is on March 20th and that makes me a Pisces! If you’re a fellow Pisces, let me know in the comments below!

2. I taught myself to crochet. So far, I crocheted a cute little basket for myself and my current project is a throw blanket, which I have been working on for months now!

3. I lived in Malaysia for five years to finish my MBBS. I lived the first two years in Selangor and the next three in Johor Bahru. I even got to spend six months in Melbourne for a few clinical postings! Absolutely loved it too!

My Best Post

Why ‘A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire’ is My New Favourite Read of the Year

I went with which post got the most views, so here we are! I remember being very excited about writing this post too because I absolutely loved this book and I got to work with the author on this release day event!

My Answers To Jan’s Questions

1. Would you rather explore the ocean depths or explore space?

Can I say neither? Haha! Oceans have terrified me since I was kid. I just cannot stop thinking about the possibility of drowning or sea monsters. I am equally terrified of the huge fish that I can encounter. Honestly, I cannot even handle going to an aquarium because I am terrified of being surrounded by all that water.

2. If you could talk with an author for a day, who would you choose?

This is a really hard one because I am a firm believer of “never meet your heroes”. But I guess I would risk it to spend a day with Jennifer L. Armentrout! I am on her Facebook spoiler groups and she genuinely seems like a great person, so I am willing to risk it for her.

3. What’s a food you never get tired of eating?

Hmmm, I choose bacon and eggs with toast. My mom made it for us since we were kids and I still prefer her version of it!

4. If you were a book character archetype, what would you be?

I actually looked this up and used this MasterClass article for reference! Based on this, I feel like I would be either The Lover or The Explorer.

5. Are you scared of bugs?

Hell yes! I am especially afraid of cockroaches! I would rather leave the house than try to scare a humungous flying cockroach. That’s how afraid of these big suckers. Usually I get someone else to do the dirty work for me. LOL!

I absolutely loved answering those questions! Definitely got me thinking a lot and loads of fun to type them all out! Thanks a lot, Jan!
