Branching Out (16)

Branching Out is an exciting feature which focuses on bloggers. Anyone can be a part of this, you just have to answer some simple questions for me, so that we can all get to know you better. This week my special guest is Sandy of Pirate Penguin's Reads:

1. Tell us about your blog.
I mostly review YA but occasionally a middle-grade or adult title will catch my eye and then creep its way onto my site. I read fiction and rarely touch nonfiction books. I think the only nonfiction book I've mentioned so far on my blog has been a bellydancing memoir. (I like variety ;D) Also, I plan on getting author interviews and contests.


2. What is your favorite part about having a blog?
The bloggers, hands down. Each comment I get makes me smile :)

3. If you were stranded on an island and could only have three books, what would they be?
Oh that's so hard!!! um... I'd definetely have Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte with me... as for the other two... I'm gonna have to pick Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick and Scrambled Eggs at Midnight by Heather Hepler & Brad Barkley.


4. Who is your favorite author or genre... or both?
I can't choose one favorite author; there are a lot of talented ones! But after recently reading Hush Hush, Becca Fitzpatrick's definetely up there! And I will always love Megan McCafferty for creating Marcus Flutie! I also really like Meg Cabot, Richelle Mead and E. Lockhart. Each bring something awesome to the table :D


5. What are you reading right now?
I'm reading Give Up The Ghost by Megan Crewe.


6. If I wasn't blogging, I would be...
So incredibly bored. And stifled! I never get sick of talking about books!


7. Name some of your favorite blogs.
The Story Siren, Letras Y Escenas (a wonderful spanish site that I adore), The Tainted Poet, Bloody Bookaholic and The Book Pixie ;)


8. 3 truths and a lie:
- I've eaten rabbit.
- I speak two languages.
- Blue is my favorite color.
- My hair is naturally curly.
