Anything But Books Tag
It’s been a while since I’ve done a tag and I found this one and I realized that I don’t talk about myself outside of books and book blogging, so this looked like a fantastic way for you all to get to know me better!
Name a cartoon that you love
I don’t get the chance to watch cartoons as much as I did when I lived at home, but a few that I will watch whenever I see they are on are Spongebob and Avatar: The Last Airbender. I actually quote Spongebob on a daily basis and it pretty much was my entire childhood.
What is your favorite song right now?
This is actually a really hard one since I don’t actually get the chance to listen to a lot of music since I usually spend my time either listening to audiobooks or watching Youtube videos when I could be listening to music. I love anything that was popular in the early 2000’s (90s, 2000s and Today’s hits radio on Pandora, anyone??) and I also love pop-punk like Neck Deep. Let me know if you have the same music tastes!
What could you do for hours that isn’t reading?
Video games. Definitely video games. I don’t have a lot of time after I get home from work before I need to go to sleep to wake up early the next day, so I tend to either read the entire time or play video games. I like games such as Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption 2, Dragon Age Inquisition, and other games like that!
What is something you love to do that your followers would be surprised by?
I don’t really do anything that is surprising, so I’ll change this a little bit to be something about myself that may surprise my followers. In college I had the opportunity to travel to the US Virgin Islands to do research on ocean acidification (basically a fancy way of saying climate change in the oceans) and how it affects the flora and fauna in that environment. It was tons of fun, and we also got to explore the islands while we were there.
What is your favorite unnecessarily specific thing to learn about?
I love learning about different species of animals. This isn’t surprising when you hear that I have a degree in Conservation Biology, but you could literally show me a photo of (almost) any animal and I would be able to tell you what it is, and possibly even where it lives!
What is something unusual that you know how to do?
I’ve been trying to think about this for literally WEEKS and I haven’t been able to think of anything unusual that I know how to do!
Name something that you made in the last year and show us if you can.
It’s not technically within the last year, but it’s something I’m really proud of! I love photography and while I have a bookstagram, I don’t share my actual photography photos there at all. So here are a few that I’m super proud of!
What is your most recent personal project?
I don’t think I really have a current personal project, unless you count blogging!
Tell us something that you think about often?
Other than books? I usually am always thinking about my puppy Finley! I wish that I could bring him everywhere with me so I don’t have to leave him home alone, but unfortunately dogs aren’t appreciated in the workplace.
Give us something that is your favorite.
I love camping and kayaking with my family! I’m hoping to get Finley used to water and the kayaks so we can take him with us because he’s so energetic and up for anything that I think he will enjoy it! We travel all over the state to go camping and kayaking, and it’s one of my favorite things to do with my family!
Say the first thing that pops into your head.
I wish that I was outside enjoying the nice weather! I love when it’s partly cloudy so you still get sun but every now and then you get a cloud to give you a break from the direct heat. Too bad I can’t take my laptop outside to blog!

I often have to choose between reading or playing skyrim or ESO online! Often video games win out, surprisingly!
