The Liebster Award

Thanks to Kelley from Another Novel Read for nominating me!

Liebster AwardOkay, so apparently the rules for the Liebster Award are as follows:

1.  I have to say 11 things about myself.

2.  I have to answer the 11 questions posed to me.

3.  I have to make up 11 more questions.

4.  Finally, I have to nominate 11 other bloggers who will answer my 11 questions.  (And let them know, obviously.)

Apparently the Liebster Award is for up and coming bloggers with a following of less than 200.  At 251 followers at the time of writing this post, I’m over-qualified, but I’ll do the award anyway to highlight some of the great bloggers out there with less than 200 followers.

7 (Very Random) Facts About Me

1.  I am currently addicted to AMC’s The Walking Dead.

2.  I’m a night owl.  I’ve never been able to fall asleep early and get up early very easily, which makes living in a morning bird world difficult.

3.  Gum chewing is one of my pet peeves, especially when people smack their lips, pop it or chew with their mouths open.  I don’t know why, but it just rubs me the wrong way.

4.  The first time I read the Harry Potter series I also read it backwards from #6-1.  Why?  Because I’m stubborn and can be a complete idiot, that’s why.

5.  I generally rank politicians low on my Respectable/Trustworthy People Scale, somewhere between tabloid journalists and used car salesmen.

6.  When it comes to spending, I have two weaknesses: Books (obviously) and jewelry.

7.  I may live in Canada, but I really, really hate the snow and the cold.
