The questions are :

What is your ideal vacation?

I like cultural vacations with loads of museums, walking around the city and experimenting the local food. My ideal vacation would have all that and half a day or a day to just sit in a coffee shop and chat or read the afternoon away. So wonderful and so good to disconnect from the stress and hectic schedule of daily life!

What do you love about yourself?

My hair! I hated it when I was 11-12 and it started changing so much from straight to… something. But now it settled for wavy, going straighter on warm days and curlier on cold days (don’t know why). I like how it changes a little bit from day to day.

What do wish you could change about yourself?

My anxiety. I get nervous very easily if a job isn’t done to perfection. Which, in real adult life, isn’t a very practical quality. But I will get there, fingers crossed!

What book are you reading now?

I’ve started What If by Randall Munroe. It’s basically a book answering crazy questions from readers in scientific and funny way, plus cartoon from xckd.

What keeps you blogging?

I love discussing books. When I read a book, my first thought is – I wonder what other people think about it? Did they like/dislike it too? Did they also find this part problematic/this character annoying/the writing fantastic/etc… and in my real life there are a few people who like discussing books as well, and we normally aren’t reading the same ones. So I really enjoy the opportunity of seeing like-minded people and what they thought of the books I’ve read/haven’t read yet… this community is really sweet and I enjoy very much being a part of it.

You are having a relaxing evening.  What are you doing?

Reading for sure. Also watching videos, maybe a documentary, drink wine, play a boardgame, go for a walk, depends on how much time I have, how tired I am and on the weather.

Do you have pets?  

Nooo… but I wish. A black (or any other color, really) cat is my dream pet.

Favourite pizza toppings?

Oh, I think for non-Brazilians this might be a little weird… but… palm, peas and catupiry cheese. On the more well-known toppings, I like mozzarella cheese, basil and mushrooms!

Coffee, tea or wine or other?

I can’t choose… depends on my mood. I guess I drink coffee more than tea or wine. A day without coffee is a wasted day.

What is your favourite season?

Early/mid Fall. When the weather is still mild from Summer, but cooled down a little so you can wear cardigans, have pumpkin soup, mulled wine and take nice walks.

What is your favourite book genre?

Hard to say. I guess contemporary fiction, but I am such a mood reader, that this could easily change to historical novels, sci-fi, fantasy, thrillers. The genre I read most is historical novels, but lately I have been really into sci-fi.

Who’s your favorite book Villain?

Umbridge, from Harry Potter. Not because I particularly love her, but I found her such a realistic villain, not with dreams of grandeur, but someone you could actually know.

What’s a must read book you would recommend for me?

Americanah, by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Wonderful writing, touching story.

What hair color would you like to have?

Blue!

What book character have you fallen in love with?

Rishi, from When Dimple met Rishi. He’s so sweet, mature and romantic.
