So, I’ve never heard of this before, but Emily, a fellow blogger at Emily the Book Nerd tagged me in this question challenge, and it seemed like a fun way to let people get to know a little more about me. According to Emily, Vogue goes to celebrities’ houses and rapid-fires 73 questions at them. You can watch these videos on YouTube. Here’s the rules:
- Link back to Emily at at Emily the Book Nerd
- Answer the 73 questions
- Tag some friends
Here goes nothing!
1. What is your usual Starbucks order? I don’t go to Starbucks often, but when I do, I love a chai tea latte. If I go in the fall, I love to get it with pumpkin spice added in. (My friend Candice has already educated me on how calling it chai tea is redundant, since chai means tea in Hindi, so it’s basically saying tea tea lol).
2. What does your workstation look like? What the heck is a workstation? I usually just sit on my bed with my laptop.
3. Favorite food? Oh man, this is a tough one. I’d have to say steak. Or ice cream. Just not together.
4. Favorite author? This is another tough one! Right now, I’m a bit obsessed with Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer Estep when it comes to fantasy books. For psychological thrillers, Karin Slaughter takes the cake. Romance would have to be Gina L. Maxwell.
