Let's party like these Snuggie people!
Let's party like these Snuggie people!
The meaning of this post is three fold. One, I want to open up to you a bit more and share some fun facts about myself. Two, I have a full paragraph with an accompaning gif to show how much I love every single one of my followers. Three, I am hosting a very fun giveaway!
Top Ten Facts About Me
1. I go by Kay on the blog but my real first name is actually Allison. Kay is just my middle name.
2. I love movies (not as much as books... calm down) and I re-watch my favorites a lot, especially The Help, Pitch Perfect, and Tangled.
3. To the right is a photo of my two bookcases! *A more detailed post featuring my bookshelves will be on the blog at a later date in the nearish future.
4. I am not, nor will I ever be, a morning person.
5. I work part-time at my local library. I love it!
6. I have an obsession with putting sugar-free vanilla syrup in my Diet Pepsi.
7. I get easily scared. Mostly just the creepy girl from the well in the Ring movies completely freaks me out.
8. Old Navy clothes are cheap, comfortable, and my favorite.
9. I went to Harry Potter World for my honeymoon.
10. I may live in Illinois, but thanks to my family roots I am a die hard Minnesota Vikings fan.

Happy Blogiversary! Two years is very exciting :) Very cool idea for the giveaway! I love doing these kinds of puzzles -- especially when they're not *too* hard.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE Pitch Perfect -- I may not be quite as obsessed as my husband, but let's just say we've watched the DVD many times :) Jesse is just too freakin cute -- but don't worry, my husband has a big Hollywood crush on Anna Kendrick so I'd say we're even :)
Thanks Christine! I'm glad you had fun playing for the giveaway! I wanted to do something a little different and fun.
DeleteSo I'm really glad to hear you LOVE Pitch Perfect as well. To be honest, I may have a small crush on Jesse and Anna Kendrick. lol ;)
Great giveaway hun, all entered and talked about. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
DeleteYou're more than welcome hun :)
DeleteHappy Blogiversary! :D thanks for the giveaway :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! You are very welcome. Good luck!
DeleteHappy 2nd Blogoversary! :D Tangled is one of my favorite movies too. No joke I must have seen it at least 20 times by now. I always love these kind of guess the cover giveaways, so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI think I may have seen Tangled even more times than that lol BUT it is just so cute. :D
DeleteHAPPY BLOGOVERSARY KAY!! Congrats on two years! I bet it doesn't feel like two years already, does it? I am so happy we met through blogging! I love talking books with you :)
ReplyDeleteAnd how stupid am I? I answered the first book cover so quickly that I forgot your second hint and answered with the other C book. Derp.
Also I am scared of everything. I love that you are a football fan. I'm jealous of your work at the library.
And while i'm going out of order - thanks for the giveaway :) I love guessing the covers!
Thanks Nicole! I'm grateful every day for my blog because it lead me to our friendship. :D I can't believe it has been two years...time flies.
DeleteHAHAHA I think that is the only tricky one. As soon as I made it I had to double check that both books' Cs were a little different, and sure enough they are! ;)
I'm glad I'm not the only scaredy cat.
Good to hear that you had fun with the giveaway! I was trying to spice it up a little.
Aw, happy blogoversary! This is my first visit here (thanks for stopping by TMG), but your blog is adorable. Here's to two more happy years. :)
