					<description><![CDATA[I've been nominated for the award, and now I'm answering questions and asking my own.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="p1">I’ve been nominated for The Sunshine Blogger Award! It means that I was mentioned in the award post. Now I need to answer 11 questions asked in the post. I will also link to 11 other bloggers and ask them 11 other questions and thank the blogger who nominated me.</p>
<p class="p1">If you are nominated in the post and you want to continue passing the award to others you will also need to answer the questions, leave the links to bloggers and ask 11 questions of your own. You’ll also need to post the award logo and the rules.</p>
<p class="p1">I’m mentioning you in this post because I like your blog. There’s no pressure for you to write any posts. It’s all done for fun.</p>
<p class="p1">So, here we go.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-391" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/sunshine-blogger-award-1.png" alt="Sunshine-Blogger-Award-1.png" width="663" height="491" /></p>
<p class="p1">I’m very thankful to <a href="http://nsfordwriter.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">N S Ford</a> for nominating me! She’s an awesome blogger who posts meaningful comments and is very interesting to talk to.</p>
<p class="p1">Here are her questions and my answers:</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>What’s your talent? (everyone’s got at least one!)</strong></p>
<p class="p1">They say I take good photos <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> That&#8217;s my picture in the top of the post. I took it while running, and with my phone, so when I&#8217;m more focused and have a proper camera I can do even better.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Do you read more e-books or print books?</strong></p>
<p class="p1">E-books, although <a href="/2018/08/04/medium/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">print books are better</a>.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Favourite fairytale character?</strong></p>
<p class="p1">I don’t have one. But I’d find a flying carpet very handy.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Place you’d most like to visit:</strong></p>
<p class="p1">Waterstones bookshop in Edinburgh.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>What do you usually have for breakfast?</strong></p>
<p class="p1">Put a peeled banana on a plate. Pour lots of peanut butter over it. Consume with a large mug of coffee. Repeat several times a day.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>A celebrity you would really like to meet:</strong></p>
<p class="p1">Ernest Hemingway, but it’s possible only <a href="/2018/08/06/moveable-feast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">through reading his book</a>.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Something that makes you laugh:</strong></p>
<p class="p1">This photo I took for <a href="/2018/09/08/bad-science/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one of my posts</a>:</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-393" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/viber-image.jpg" alt="shadow_looking_funny" width="720" height="1280" /></p>
<p class="p1"><strong>If you could time travel, which historical period would you go to?</strong></p>
<p class="p1">I wouldn’t go. I find any historical period spookier than the current one.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>The book you have read the most times:</strong></p>
<p class="p1">Master and Margarita. It’s the only book I’ve read more than once.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Favourite thing about blogging:</strong></p>
<p class="p1">Letting the thoughts free and out into a post.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Sun or moon?</strong></p>
<p class="p1">I’ll take anything if it’s not summer sun. Several weeks of +35C have been more than enough.</p>
<p class="p1">And here are my questions:</p>
<p class="p1">1. If you could change an ending of a book what book would it be and how would you change the ending?</p>
<p class="p1">2. What do you think is the most overpriced piece of technology?</p>
<p class="p1">3. What’s the most stunning view you’ve ever seen?</p>
<p class="p1">4. Do you think presents from Santa is a cute holiday story or it’s a lie?</p>
<p class="p1">5. Do you have a plan for your future posts or you blog as inspiration comes?</p>
<p class="p1">6. What’s the most exotic dish you’ve ever tried?</p>
<p class="p1">7. Do you know what the word “tintinnabulary” means?</p>
<p class="p1">8. What’s the longest you’ve been without the Internet in the recent 5 years?</p>
<p class="p1">9. If you could have any superpower what superpower would you choose to have?</p>
<p class="p1">10. What animal do you find the most interesting?</p>
<p class="p1">11. What question would you ask me?</p>
<p class="p1">I’m nominating the following bloggers:</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="p1">This day last month I wrote my first post. It feels a lifetime away. There have been so many books! The blog gave more focus to my reading, so within this month I’ve done more reading than I did during any other month of my life.</p>
<p class="p1">There have been <strong>fifteen titles</strong> altogether! The reviews of all of them except one are already in the blog. Five of the titles are actual books and ten of them are audiobooks. I’ve never done so much concentrated work with books before. I love the process! Writing book posts is one of the most rewarding activities I have ever done. I always loved analysing books but the possibility to share what I think is even more thrilling.</p>
<p class="p1">The review I like the most on my blog is probably about <a href="/2018/08/25/born-a-crime/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trevor Noah’s book</a> because it has lots of outdoor photos.</p>
<p class="p1">The best book I read this month is <em><a href="/2018/08/24/the-air-you-breathe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Air You Breathe</a></em> by Frances de Pontes Peebles. I’m still missing the characters.</p>
<p class="p1">Other books that I consider definitely worthy of attention are <em><a href="/2018/08/09/ove/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Man Called Ove</a></em>, <em><a href="/2018/08/20/everything-under/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Everything Under</a></em> and <a href="/2018/08/25/born-a-crime/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Born a Crime</em></a>. The books that I would have easily done without are all the thrillers I listened to. They are in <a href="/category/falling-stars/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>falling stars</strong></a> and <a href="/category/thriller/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>thrillers</strong></a> categories in my blog.</p>
<p>My favourite non-review post is about <a href="/2018/08/04/medium/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kindle vs print</a>. I feel like this topic should be explored even deeper.</p>
<p class="p1">Right now the blog has 64 followers. I’ve had conversations with some of them. I love staying in touch with an amazing artist, my friend from many epochs, the author of <a href="https://neowatercolour.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Neowatercolor</a> blog. Her paintings are unique, beautiful and emotional. Thanks to my blog I was introduced to another awesome blog called <a href="https://samescenedifferentstory.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Same Scene Different Story</a>. It has an idea I’ve never met before. Several writers compose their stories based on the same photo. I find it very inspirational. I loved staying in touch with <a href="http://nsfordwriter.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nsfordwriter</a>, <a href="https://excusemyreading.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ova</a> and <a href="https://umutreviews.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Umut.</a> Nsfordwriter is also a new blog. Its author reviews books and sometimes posts examples of her own writing. Ova and Umut always have great book suggestions. It’s priceless to know people who can suggest good books to you.</p>
<p class="p1">That’s a short summary of the first month. I’m looking forward to the next month, new books and more interesting people to meet.</p>
<p class="p1">Happy Birthday dear Blog! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/2764.png" alt="❤" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f389.png" alt="🎉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><em><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f31f.png" alt="🌟" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></em></p>
