Quite a few months ago, both Holly @ Nut Free Nerd and Megan @ Green Gables State of Mind nominated us for this Versatile blogger award. You really ought to go check out both of their blogs—Holly does some fantastic discussion posts/literary analysis stuff, and Megan mixes travel and books perfectly (plus she’s currently reading her way through the fifty states, which has been very interesting to read about!).
And then, a couple of weeks ago, we got nominated again (!!!!!) by Sumaya of Sue’s Reading Corner, whose blog we’ve just discovered pretty recently. She has some lovely features, like her Which Cover Wednesdays and Down the TBR Hole posts. And so of course you better be checking her blog out too! (Thanks for the nomination, Sumaya!)

- I used to want to do a Les Mis themed wedding, and have everyone dress up like the 1830’s, but now I think I want to have some sort of Eowyn wedding dress with those WICKED sleeves.

- My Hogwarts house is Ravenclaw. Long live the eagles!
- My bookish soulmate is Carswell Throne.
- I am an INFP. MEEEOOW
- I am a airbender. Take that Aang! I guess you’re not the last airbender after all.
- My favorite tea is Twinings Earl Grey and I can taste when it’s not the right type.
- My Doctor Who counterpart is Donna, but I also adore Clara as you have probably guessed from my name.
- My yearbook quote will be: “When the bell rings, we goes where we wishes, we’s as free as fishes, sure beats washin’ dishes.” (from Newsies).

Haha, I really enjoyed reading this post! The penguin cloth-bound editions of classics are so beautiful! I don’t have any of them yet but I really like them.

Thanks!!! And yeah, I’m super excited for the studying abroad!! Also chocolate is my life♡……. I will pass your comment onto Clara and TRY to get her to respond, because even though she is rather social irl, she HATES online interactive, which I find ironic because social interaction online=best form of socializing PERIOD. But yes. Thanks again–glad you liked the post!
