Stylish and Versatile! Blogger awards (PART II)

Last but not least I got a Versatile award from The Literary Lollipop, a big thank u to Lit Lollipop for passing this on to me …books are sweet, they really are.

Here are the rules:

• Thank the person who gave you this award
• Share 7 things about yourself
• Pass the award on to people who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic for whatever reason (…in no particular order)!
• Contact those you have chosen to receive the award.

Seven random but versatile things about myself:

1. I can’t speak french but I would love to

2. The best female singer I discovered in 2009 is Florence and The Machine (I have a little girl crush on her)

3. Japan: the country I would like to get to know better

4. Dylan Moran rules

5. There was a time in my life in which I could almost speak latin but then I picked up economics and I am still wondering what possessed me to do so (I should have sticked with the classics)

6. I am a really good swimmer ( between 7 and 17 years old I was swimming competitively)

7. After a trip to India I turned into an almost vegetarian (I eat fish)

A selection of Blogs that deserve this award (there are many out there):

La Vie Boston (check out her 10 Things I love Tuesday)

Alita Reads (great mix of reviews and playlists)

Book, Line and Sinker (Natalie talks about this and that, mainly books and I love her blog)

Stylish and Versatile! Blogger awards

In the last two weeks I was given two wonderful blogger awards, it’s always a surprise and I am very grateful.

First up we have the stylish  blogger award (thanks to Katie at Book Love!), rules:

1. List 5 random things about yourself

2. Share the award with 5 other bloggers

3. Link to each of the recipients and let them know they’ve won via comments on their blogs

4. Thank and bring the love back to the person you won the award from by linking back to her (or him!)

5 random but stylish things about myself:

1. I have never shaped my eyebrows and I never will, this is a decision I made  years ago after reading an interview by french actress Catherine Deneuve (pretty random but it’s the true story of my adversity towards tweezers);

2. If I had to name a favorite brand I would choose petit bateau, I buy almost all my panties and t-shirts from there (not exactly sexy but it’s very me);

3.I am currently reading What I Was by Meg Rosoff and it has one of the prettiest cover I’ve ever seen (I had to take a few pics):

4. I believe in Apartment Therapy

5. Paradise Kiss is the most stylish anime out there

The stylish award goes to bloggers that write about books and do it with style:

Adventures of Cecelia Bedelia (it’s all a matter of personality and  celi.a has lots)

Belching Words (there are all kind of cute things in here and Lex likes Nodame Cantabile )

The Infinite Shelf (make sure to check her comics)

The Crooked Shelf (those posts really have style)

Write Meg! (I adore everything that happens on this blog)

Enjoy

My first blog award (thanks Jo)

Today I received a Beautiful Blogger Award from Jo of Once Upon a Bookcase, Thanks Jo! It really made my day.

My blog is relatively new but I am impressed by how involved I feel, it helps me organizing my thoughts, also so many blogs out there are excellent and a very good diversion to my frankly boring The-office-style daily life.

The rules after you’ve received the award:

1. Thank and link to the person that gave you the award
2. Pass the award onto 15 bloggers you’ve recently discovered and think are fantastic
3. Contact said blogs and let them know they’ve won
4. State 7 things about yourself

Seven things about me:

1. I like smoky obscure clubs, unexpected gigs that take me by surprise, I am really into music, everything really but Pop music (unless it’s The Beatles), currently I am listening to  Curtis Mayfield, The Nationals, Belle and Sebastien, The New Pornographers, Bomb The Music Industry, …

2. As much as I would love daydreaming all day long I am 28 years old and I have a proper corporate job and controversial inner feelings about it, I suppose it pays the bills and I will postpone further decisions.

3. I love travelling and soon I will be off for an 18-days trekking from Kathmandu to Lhasa (how cool is that?). Above everything else I love spending my afternoons reading in an park of a city I might be living in or visiting, this way I feel connected to places

5. Every time I read a Ya book I visualize Adrian Grenier starring in the main role regardless of the actual description

6. My favourite writer is Francis Scott Fitzgerald

7. English is not my first language.
