Oooh o.O I've been awarded the
Liebster Blog Award! I would like to thank Nobonita at
Daydreaming Bookworm for this honor.
Now, if your scratching your head and thinking, "what in the world is that?", The Liebster Blog Award is an award given to upcoming bloggers who have less than 200 followers. Liebster is actually a German word which means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing and welcome. Well, doesn't that make you all mushy?
So people, here are the rules (for once I decided that I might follow them this time) :
1. Each person must post 11 facts about themselves
2. Answer 11 questions the tagger has given you and give 11 questions for the people you've tagged. (My dirty mind is on it)
3. Choose 11 people and link them in your post.
4. Tell them you've tagged them. (Cause seriously they won't have a dream or receive a letter by an owl telling them that they've been awarded by the awesomeness that is yours truly)
5. Remember, no tag backs. (It's said to be a cause of animosity between many bloggers. Just kidding ... or maybe not)
11 facts about me (read them at your own risk, you've been warned) :
1. I was born on 1 Nov, and I'm quite proud of such an awesome date because of all those 1s.
2. I am the biggest procrastinator you'll ever have the chance to know! And same goes for clumsiness! If you ever in wildest dreams catch me in heels, I am very much sprawled on the floor or down in a gutter because I can't walk straight for the love of god.
3. I want to get a tattoo of three ravens like Tris does in Divergent.
4. I have two hyper-active sister-torturing sadists of an illiterate monkeys for my younger bros. I have been repeatedly praised for the height of my tolerance concerning these lil' monsters.
5. When I get older (like getting my first strands of the doomed white hair. Yup, when I'm rocking my 60s), I wish to open a publishing company that supports teen writers from all over the world.
6. I love to read (Duh!) and write. Maybe I'll try to get published myself one day.
7. I want to study child psychology, mainly focusing on teen bullying and depression (maybe because I want to do some counselling and spread awareness about this). Also, I want to study Greek mythology and Latin.
8. I love music. Especially alternative rock and, barely, sometimes alternative pop like Digital Daggers. I have real weak concentration and music helps me to build it.
9. I L.O.V.E. Goodreads and Wattpad.
10. I don't freaking believe in love at first sight. I believe love is about growing up, knowing each other, building down other's defenses and over-coming problems together. So yeah, no vote for fast love for me. (Boy, do I get sentimental at these things.)
11. I want to dye my hair deep blue or purple or burgundy some day.
Answers to those questions Nobonita asked while playing the 11 questions rule with me (You can say, she bribed me with this award to get some personal information out of me. Understandable, since I'm a super secret ninja spy being tracked down by 11 countries. No really, so let's keep the further info hush hush) :
1 How long have you been blogging?
- I've had a blog from around December last year. But the huge lazy ass that I am, I officially started blogging in March this year, during my after-exam holidays.
2 Are you on goodreads?
- Yes, by the name of
Priya, which is freakishly weird since Priya is a pretty common name in my country.
3 Do you do weekly memes on your blog?
- Yes, two actually. One is
Still on my Mind hosted by Hayley @
Ya-Holic. The other one I just started participating this week called
Waiting on Wednesday, it's pretty popular (It's like mentioned in Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout) and is hosted by Jill @
Breaking the Spine
4 Which book are you currently reading?
- I'm reading Glitch by Heather Anastasiu and Incarnate by Jodi Meadows. Hopefully, I'll be starting with If I Stay by Gayle Forman soon.

9 What kind of books do you usually read?
- Though I mostly read paranormal romance. Right now I m experimenting with dystopian and contemporary. But it's mostly YA.
10 What is your all-time favourite author?

5. Which book or book series would you like to be turned into a movie?
6. From where do you mostly buy your books?
