Getting to Know You Blog Hop!


Hello beautiful you!

This is weird, isn't? Telling you everything about me while I don't know anything about you? I hope we can get pass that.

Anyway, things you should (but probably don't want to know) about me:

- My name is Paola and my hobbies include reading, knitting, baking, and searching "cat (desserts, sweaters, etc)" on Tumblr.
- My favorite movie is currently a tie between Pitch Perfect and The Princess Bride. Don't judge me.
- My favorite classic is Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.
- My favorite YA novel (and the one I find most relatable) is Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell.
- I haven't read enough series to have a favorite but A Song of Ice and Fire and Throne of Glass are too good to ignore.
- I have impromptu Taylor Swift jamming sessions. Often. Like every day. I know I'm not alone.
- I started blogging because I can't shut up about books. Isn't that a nice problem to have?
Cuddlebuggery took me in a few months ago. Being part of their site is even better than a mountain of cake smothered in the fluffiest whipped cream. My reviews are like the uncool kid at prom next to theirs.
- Cats. They're the bomb.

I'm also a fan of sharing books with the world SO this is the giveaway:

My ARC of The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski needs a new home. The sequel is coming out soonish (but not soon enough) so you should read it because everyone loves it and everyone's right. I might throw in another ARC if the Christmas mood hits me before the giveaway is over. Unfortunately, I have to keep this one US ONLY. Sorry. :(

Oh! And don't forget to check out the other giveaways. Let's get to know each other. In a non-creepy way. Unless you're into that.
This blog hop is to let people know a little about yourself and who you are and to get your name out there!

Hiyas! Something about me: I've always wanted to be a redhead. I have honey-colored, curly hair but reading all these red-haired heroines in novels as a kid made me feel like redheads are more adventurous and bold. Dying my hair red somehow isn't the same. ;)

1. I'm a failure at these things. I CAN manage to knit a very basic (somewhat uneven) scarf, but baking is just beyond me. I have ruined many a chocolate cake haha
2. I can't believe I still haven't watched Pitch Perfect! It sounds like everything I'd love ever! But Princess Bride is hands down in my top 3. Or at least it would be if I had a top 3. That requires to much thinking and how could I ever CHOOSE? I mean, Disney movies. Come on. Impossible. Let alone any other movies I love lol. But a spot would definitely be reserved for PB.
3. I think the apple I'm eating may be starting to go bad. It's not supposed to taste like hard apple cider is it? Or maybe I just discovered the best thing ever. Here's hoping I don't die.
