I was nominated by the lovely Ana from Ana’s Lair.
The Rules
1. Post the award on your blog.
2. Thank the blogger who presented this award and link back to their blog.
3. Write 11 random facts about yourself.
4. Nominate 11 bloggers who you feel deserve this award and who have less than 200 followers; notify them in their own blogs.
5. Answer 11 questions posted by the presenter and ask your nominees 11 questions.
First things first: My 11 facts.
1. I am about to finish my final year of university, and truthfully, it scares me. I have to do an extra year to get qualified but three years has gone so quickly!
2. I feel lost without technology- but I also like being alone with a good book because it means that I’m giving my eyes a break from screens and social networking.
3. I’m obsessed with owls. They are my favourite animal- the idea of a wise creature is something I really like, although Owl in Winnie the Pooh breaks that mould by being dyslexic 😛
4. Disney is my guilty pleasure. I will always feel nostalgic when a Disney film is on. Especially The Little Mermaid- it’s my favourite.
5.My favourite colour is purple.
6. I would probably live off of pasta if I could.
7.I am finally confident enough to speak out about the fact I once had an eating disorder.
8. I am a fangirl/geek girl/ whatever term you like- sci-fi, Doctor Who, Star Wars, MArvel Movies, Sherlock Holmes, you name it, I love it 😀
9.I wear glasses
10. I’m in love with a celebrity who doesn’t exist but I don’t have a boyfriend, and lots of people are surprised because I’m 21 and happy being single until I meet the right person.
11. I have lots of pet peeves, too many to list, but I usually hold my tongue if my friends do them. I’m a nice person like that 😛

Um- well, having done this many times I’ve run out of people to nominate so um…..YOU’RE IT.
The questions I had to answer.
1. What do you look for in a book?

The Story of Tracy Beaker by Jacqueline Wilson

6. Do you pre-order books? Why?
