10. Do you like poetry?
I didn’t before, but recently discovered a fondness  for it, both reading and writing.

11. Which is the biggest obstacle you have faced in your life?
Gender stereotypes.

 

Well, I have a few people to nominate for this award.  However, I am loathed to lay down the ‘rules’ to them.   I reckon I’ve broken a few of the ‘rules’ myself, so no judgment here.   Now I will merely list the ‘usual’ modus operandi:

1.  Link and thank the person who nominated you

2. Answer the questions asked of you

3. Pick a few bloggers with less than 200 followers to nominate

4. Ask them a few questions

5. Let them know by commenting on one of their posts

 

Here are my nominees:

Write beside the Sea

Mad Meandering Me

Profane Light

MyTwoSentences

The Dark Night Chronicles

 

So here are my five questions for the beautiful nominees above:

1. Which beverage is your perfect pairing to a book?

2. Which is your favourite inspirational quote?

3. If you are not you, who would you want to be?

4. What is your favourite song? How did it become your favourite?

5. Three words which best describe you.
