► Tell your readers 3 things about yourself

2. My favourite dessert is chocolate ice cream
3. I do not like reading YA novels

► Answers to Erin’s questions

1. Which book got you interested in reading?

I enjoy reading since childhood, and I have 2 books that got me interested in reading: Fram, the Polar Bear by Cezar Petrescu (this was the first “real” book I read, I was around 7 years old) and Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (I was around 10 when I read it and for a very long time it was my favourite book).

2. What’s your biggest bookish pet peeve?

Writing on books!

3. What’s your greatest strength as a reader? Greatest weakness?

I think my greatest strength as a reader is my determination to read a book even when I’m not 100% into it. And I consider it a strength because I’ve read books that did not seem so promising at the beginning, but became very intriguing after the first 50-100 pages.

My greatest bookish weakness is that I might not always have enough patience when reading so I don’t pay much attention to details … I prefer following the main narrative path and maybe overlook some details rather than paying attention to all the tiny aspects of the story.

4. What author would you like to interview and why?

Carlos Ruiz Zafón, because I would simply like to see how he’s like 🙂 (given that he’s my favourite author at the moment)

5. What are your favourite kind of blog posts to write?

I like writing about things that are adjacent to books. For example, I wrote about book covers around the world, bookish news (which included bookish events and projects), books & tech … I think the whole bookish universe is so much more than books themselves, so I enjoy exploring these aspects on my blog.
