It’s an award for amazing bloggers with ingenious posts. Their blog not only captivates; it inspires and motivates. They are one of the best out there, and they deserve every recognition they get. This award is also for bloggers who find fun and inspiration in blogging, and they do it with so much love and passion. – Okoto Enigma

The Questions

•  What made you want to start your blog?

I’m pretty sure that we’ve discussed this before on the blog. But, we started the blog because of Chantel. She basically texted me about starting a blog together and I said yes. That same day, we set this up and the rest is history.

I was actually surprised by how quickly we got our blog together. It all so fast and yet here we are over a year later doing well. So, I’m proud of us.

Yo, I feel the same way. We just kind of decided to do it and then we stuck with it. I’ve started book blogs before and just failed because, well, I wasn’t motivated. I thought it was pointless because of Goodreads. But, well, this worked.

Having another person to hold me accountable is the reason it’s worked, honestly. Without a partner, this thing would’ve been dead on arrival.

Awwwww I’m your partner now???? cute.

Of course, you are.

• If you were deserted on an island, what three items would you want to have with you?

I’m assuming that this island has food and shelter with electricity and wifi, so I’ll leave those off my list. I think that I’d want to have my phone because I would be able to read a whole lot on it. Then, I’d also like my parents and friends. That way I won’t go insane. And, finally, wine.

I would like to have a pet, probably a dog for protection but I would take a cat too. I don’t think I would survive without another person with me. I may be introverted at times but companionship is something I need. Lastly, I’d say a boat so I can escape eventually.

Omg what if we were on the island together??? Although it might turn into like our hermit cabin thing where I become Hannibal.

We’ve already been over this and it doesn’t end well.

For a replay of our horrific discovery, you’d have to see our Q&A.

• Do you like to read books? If so, what’s your favorite genre?

No, I hate reading.

I kid.

My favorite genre fluctuates a whole lot, but historical nonfiction, mystery, and horror are my usual favorites.

Odd question.

While I’d like to say my favorite genre is science-fiction or fantasy, it’s probably YA contemporary. I read a lot of it and I usually like it.

We’re so different.

Obviously.

• If you had to give advice to new bloggers who have similar content as yours, what would it be?

It’s hard as hell. It’s a lot of work. You have to be on top of it all the time. But, don’t give up. Keep going because it will get easier as you go.

It is so hard. I’m struggling as we speak to be as active as Caidyn and it doesn’t always happen, but you can’t let it fade into the background. You have to make sure you make time for it.

Oh yeah, definitely make time for it. Even if it’s an hour a day where you just catch up with liking posts, commenting on ones you feel inspired by, and then working on some of your stuff.

• (Because I really liked this question and think it is important to always think about) What makes you happy?

Hm. As I’m writing this, I have sleeping puppies next to me. So, they make me happy. Then, my family and friends make me happy. They know me and how to make me smile even when I’m in the worst mood.

I honestly don’t know. I was diagnosed as depressed in my mid-teens and I don’t know what would truly make me happy. I know that recently I’ve started feeling confident in myself. I think every day is full of little things that make me happy. Like, Watson being a sweetheart, or eating some good food, being around people I like, playing video games, watching a tv show. It’s those little things that make me happy and it’s not always the same thing.
