Book Blog Newbie Tag

So what better way to get to know the bookish side of me with a BOOKISH TAG!
I knew there was a booktube newbie tag so I just googled the Book Blogger version and found it on thebookmermaidblog via wordpress.
SO~ LET'S GET STARTED!
1 – Why did you start this blog?
Im good at reading but suck at writing and I had a booklr before but I felt like it is the lazy version of a writing blog, so I started this in hopes of writing more and getting better at writing. 
2- What are some fun and unique things you can bring to book blogging?
To be honest, I don't know. I never really thought about it. But I think, I can bring thoughtful discussions to the table. Ask and Question some books that can bring an intellectual conversation with others.
3 – What are you most excited for about this new blog?
Just a new way to explore books
4 – Why do you love reading?
Reading has brought me so much joy and happiness and hope to my life. When i was down, I just dived into a new book, a new world and a new life awaited for me and I could leave reality behind for a while. I also made a lot of bookish friends as well and Im hoping to make more.
5 – What book or series got you into reading? 
I know the first book I've ever read by myself, was the Gingerbread Man (dont know what version) and that book scared me. But what brought me back into the reading fold in high school was the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer, the Dark-Hunter Series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, and the Black Dagger Brotherhood by JR Ward. The books that brought me into the....book wide web (IDK what to call it. But I found it on tumblr first) were The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater.
6 – What questions would you ask your favorite authors?
I think i would always ask: 1) What Hogwarts House would your characters fit in and 2) What writing tips could you give for aspiring writers
For Leigh Bardugo: What is Nikolai's Starbucks Order? (Leigh did a Live Q&A on Instagram for The Language of Thorns and I saw JesseTheReader ask this on the live and now I got to know too XD) 
7 – What challenges do you think starting a blog will be the hardest to overcome?
STICKING. TO. WRITING. Im just afraid I'll get lazy and abandon it. 
8 – When did you start reading?
When I was 3 c:
9 – Where do you read?
My bed (or these days, wherever Im sleeping cause I am switching sleeping spots every night so someone can watch over my brother)
10 – What kind of books do you like to read?
I like fantasy or paranormal romance. But really, I like reading Harry Potter and I am a BIG GRISHAVERSE FAN.

Mini Review: The Soldier Prince (Spoilers)

Image
We are almost finished with The Language of Thorns! Here is my mini review on tonight's tale! Tale: The Soldier Prince Blurb: The take of the famous holiday tale, The Nutcracker but with something more. Thoughts: The tale is told from the Nutcracker's P.O.V. for most of the story. It's told from the creator, Droessen and what he is and why he created the Soldier Prince for Clara. Then it goes on how Clara desires a world different from the real one and whispers her dreams and wishes to the Nutcracker. Soon the Nutcracker grows his own desires and wants to live beyond the world of his cabinet. Yet it was a struggle. He was caught up with Clara's, Clara's brother, Frederick's, and even Droessen' s desires. Droessen even tried to put down the Nutcracker's wants as nothing. But soon, he used Droessen's tactics against him and won in the end. The Nutcracker became real and explored the world he wanted to see, that he wished. Clara, devastated from h

Mini Review: When Water Sang Fire (Spoilers)

Last tale of the book! It took so long to read but worth it all! Tale: When Water Sang Fire Blurb: Ursula's tale full of betrayal and pain Thoughts: I. LOVE. THIS. TALE. Ursula is my all time fave so when they started talking about Ulla I knew this was my kind of tale. I was blown away how Ulla did everything for her friend and for their dreams. How she had a contented life but how she wanted to be a Court Singer in the palace. She even had a best friend and wished for he happiness as well. BUT THAT WAS MESSED UP ON HOW THE PRINCE DID THAT TO ULLA AND HOW SIGNY DID THAT TO HER. HOW SHE WAS WORRIED ABOUT HER FRIEND BUT TURNED ON HER. Guys. Know your self worth. Don't sell yourself short, dont make compromises, and it is good to have relationships but you need to look after yourself. Also she never gave up! She got made a powerful song only she can sing and became a storm, a tempest, herself. AND CAN WE TALK ON HOW THE DARKLING WAS HER BROTHER AND HER MOTHER WAS BAGHRA?!

Mini Review: The Witch of Duva (Spoilers)

A little less then 30 minutes to midnight, so I'll make this short but..sweet~ Tale: The Witch of Duva Blurb: Unexpected Twists, a Hansel and Gretel retelling without the Hansel~ Thoughts: It was hard to stick to the story in the beginning but towards the end, I love it! When Nayda left to go to the woods and happen upon the witch's Magda's house, I thought she was doomed and bounded to get eaten. But I was wrong. Magda is a good witch that helps people and when she helps Nayda and we find out that Karina was only trying to HELP Nayda and that HER FATHER was a cannibal eating the girls- I did not see that coming. I love the theme: "That the Monsters are more closer to home then you think." I also love how I was doubting all the women in this book and it taught me a lesson: We women have to stick together and trust each other. I doubted Karina all the way up to the end and realize when she was doing all along. Granted, it didn't seem that way at first but she
