Book Blogger Love-A-Thon: Interview with The Runaway Reader

Hey friends! It's Love-a-Thon time! If you want to know more about this event, put together by the lovely Alexa and Katelyn, check it out here. That said, I'm so excited to introduce you to Annie from The Runaway Reader! I've had the pleasure of interviewing this amazing blogger, so learn a little more about her and make sure you check out her fantastic blog!

------------------------------

Tell us three random things about yourself.

 I am 14 years old, I'm an only child and I love chocolate.

What has been one of your favorite moments of being a blogger?

It's hard to pinpoint individual moments because blogging has just generally been so much fun. I'd say one of my favourite moments though was participating in the very same Book Blogger Love-a-Thon last year. Back then, I didn't have much experience blogging yet so being a part of that event was a really great way for me to open up to the blogging community. It was so much fun, plus I met some really awesome bloggers!

What is one book that you wish you had written?

Harry Potter, for sure! (I know that's technically seven books) It has one of the most intricate storylines I've ever seen in a book and I just think it would be so cool to know that you're the mastermind behind this gigantic phenomenon. It's why I admire JK Rowling so much - you got to have a pretty wicked imagination to create something so great like Harry Potter!

What authors do you have on your auto-buy list?

Wendy Mass because all her books are so, so sweet. Patrick Ness because he's such a masterful storyteller. And Sophie Kinsella because she cheers me up and makes me laugh like no one else! 

Which genre would you love to see more of?

I would love to see more historical fiction. It's one of my favourite genres but I feel like in Young Adult especially, there just isn't such a great selection. So write more historical fiction, authors!

What are your five desert island books?

Tough, tough question! I actually remember doing a Top Ten Tuesday post for this topic a while ago so it's interesting to see it again! My first pick would probably be Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery just because I love that book so much. And Harry Potter too (I know I'm cheating with a series) because I also love them so much and they'd definitely provide me with tons of reading material. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins for something light and fun, as well as a chunkster like War and Peace to keep me thinking. I'd probably also bring something inspirational like The Happiness Project to keep my spirits up. 

Finish these sentences:  

My dream job is... not surprisingly, a blogger! How cool would it be to get paid to do your hobby? Plus, being a blogger means that I don't have to be stuck in a dingy office and can literally do my work from anywhere that has internet access. 

My favorite TV show to marathon is... New Girl. In my opinion, it's been going downhill since the last season but it's so hilaribad that I just can't help but enjoy it.

We could be best friends if... you don't mind me wanting to talk all the time.

Book Blogger Love-A-Thon Wrap Up

Wowza. Today was crazy, but -  
Today was happy. 


I felt the love. And giving other blogs, new and old, loving was great. 


Best of all, was discovering new blogs thanks to recommendations! 
My new finds today:


Alexa Loves Books - This girl seems so sweet!
Books Strings - This was insta-love! It might be because she has a great review of Lola and the Boy Next Door up right now - but I think it's more than that!
GReads - I found this one because so many people mentioned her in their thank you posts this morning. I've been following her on Twitter for awhile, but this is the first time I actually checked out her blog. 
From Bleh to Basically Amazing - This was a blog I'd never heard of before today, but so many people mentioned it so I checked it out. Another insta-love situation!
Novel Magic - She's a brand new blogger, can't wait to see what the future of blogging holds for her!
That Artsy Reader Girl - Her blog is SO pretty!
The Brown Eyed Bookie - Check out her header =) I feel like I read surrounded by books like that too. I just like to feel the love of them all around me! 
Stories and Sweeties - So cute! She has a great review of Harbinger up right now! 


I've visited a lot more blogs than this today - so I sincerely apologize if I missed you. I tried to keep track as best I could. 


I'm making a personal goal of commenting and showing blogger love more often - because this day was so great, I'm sitting here thinking why can't it be like this every day? 


Katelyn - Seriously, thanks SO much for hosting this. You rock my socks. 


And all the bloggers who participated, all the bloggers who work so hard - I LOVE YOU.
