Know Me Better #10

While doing the Book Blogger Love-A-Thon I came across I Am a Reader Not a Writer's Know Me Better feature through someone's blog and thought "perfect!" So, here we are with me sharing more little tidbits about myself (I know, you all find me fascinating.) I'm just going to start with the first post she did and work my way up from there. Sound good?

Of course we all know you should never judge a book by it's cover, but do we ever really listen?

This week's Cover Lover goes to Pivot Point by Kasie West

Publish Date: February 12, 2013

When I first saw this cover I wasn't really fan. I think it's the fact that the girl is the main focal point. Over time, though, I did grow on me. I like how there's two of her and the one looks like a reflection which fits the story really well. Also, say what you want about me, but I'm a fan of the sparklies.

Pet Peeves?

Tourists. It's the the people themselves, it's the sheer number of them and their infuriating way of clogging up the sidewalks while walking at the pace of a turtle.

Give us a glimpse into a typical day in your day starting when you wake up till you lie down again.

I only work two days a week, so most days I don't really have anything to do. I wake up at 9, turn my alarm off, get back in bed, and sleep for another hour or so. Then I get up, go to the living room, get on my computer and proceed to waste about 2 hours. 

Eventually I need to take Pugsy out before she leaks on the floor. At this point I'm starting to get a little disappointed in myself for not having done anything so I resolve to do something after "just a few minutes" more on the internet. Hah.

Then Jacob comes home around 3 in the afternoon and we talk and watch tv.

More internet.

Somewhere in there we eat food.

Then he goes to bed and I spend another few hours reading/internetting/watching tv.

Finally, I get in bed at 2, if I haven't already, read until 3/I fall asleep.

Yes, it's all really rather sad.

Pizza or Pasta?

Depends n the day. Today I'd go with pasta.

Finish the sentence- one book I wish I had written is….

None. I prefer to be the reader.

Favorite sport?

I hate sports.

This week's Cover Lover goes to Paper Valentine by Brenna Yobanoff

Publish Date: January 8, 2013

The girl cut-out is amazing. I love all the little detail worked into it. The title and the background are okay, but the cut-out is really what makes me love this cover.

If someone wrote a book about your life, what would the title be?

I honestly have no idea.

If you could have a signed copy of any novel what would it be and why?

Probably a signed copy of the first Percy Jackson book because it's one of my all-time favorite series'.

Horror or Romance?

Horror.

If you could choose only one time period and place to live, when and where would you live and why?

Either now or the future because I like the technology that exists now.

Do you prefer a bunch of small gifts or one big expensive one?

Oooh, tough question. I'd love to get a Macbook, but generally I prefer a bunch of smaller gifts.
