Liebster Award

Nominated by Chioma

I've been nominated for the Liebster Award!

As with every other award and tag I've received, I'm honored and extremely grateful to have been nominated for this. The Liebster is one that's been floating around the blogosphere for a fair amount of time, and it's a fun, recognizable tag that has done a great job promoting newer blogs.

A huge thank you goes out to dear Chioma from Blue Books and Butterflies for this sweet nomination. The rules for this thing have only changed about 1,576,112 times since its creation, but here's the version I've received!

Rules

• Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you
• Answer the 11 questions asked
• Nominate at least 3 other bloggers with less than 200 followers
• Ask them 11 new questions

Chioma's 11 Questions

#1 Who is your most hated fictional character?

No one is coming to mind.. There are always those characters that we just can't stand and want to throw a rock at, but.. Okay, well, I did finally think of one: Delores Umbridge from Harry Potter.

#2 What do you like to do other than blog?

Aside from blogging and writing, I've always been a gamer, love reading a good book (though I don't get to them often enough!), enjoy browsing Netflix and surfing the internet, and I'm a bit of a hopeless stargazer (I live in the suburbs and can see approximately three whole stars).

#3 Why do you read?

Why would I not read?! It's such a great thing. I love being able to take trips to worlds and eras that are only accessible through the world of books. I love being able to relate to the characters within these worlds. You can learn amazing things whilst reading, and it helps to improve your own skills in writing as you see how other authors manage it.

#4 If you had to tattoo one book quote to your arm, what quote would you choose?

Oh, that's a tough one. Uh... This is going to have to be another one that's just right off the top of my head (don't think I'd actually want this tattooed on my arm..): 

"The building was on fire, and it wasn't my fault" —Harry Dresden, The Dresden Files

#5 Who are your top 3 favorite bloggers?

All the blogs I follow have something unique about them. I'm admittedly very quick to say I love a blog, but it's because each author, even if they post similar content to hundreds of other bloggers, brings something new with their personality, design preferences, etc. With this in mind, it's difficult for me to narrow it down to just a few "favorites."

#6 Are there any books you would consider to be your guilty pleasures?

Not that I can think of. But mostly because I don't read enough new books to have many guilty pleasures.. lol.

#7 What is your favorite movie?

Currently, I'd have to say The Avengers movies.

#8 What is the best thing that has happened to you, since you started blogging?

There's no single "best" thing, but many things! I've improved my writing abilities greatly, have had the pleasure to interact with some really fantastic people, I've learned a lot about myself, and, while still very limited here, I now know more about how HTML and design coding works.

#9 What food could you eat every day and never get tired of?

Hm.. I used to say Ramen Noodles, but now the salt would just be too much to eat every day. Maybe spaghetti? Love that stuff.

#10 How did you come up with your blog name?

It was actually just the first thing that popped into my head, and I went with it. Normally I would sit there for an eternity trying to think up a name that fits, but I really didn't feel like doing that this time. And hey, I liked the sound of Edge of Night! (Admittedly though, it's a tough name to style a blog after).

#11 What book changed your life?

Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. That was the first book series that I really got into, and where I realized just how fun and detailed a fictional world could be! It was also the first book I read that got turned into a movie.

I think there's one or two in there with slightly over 200 followers, but I don't think the world is going to end because of that. As usual, there were so many blogs I wanted to nominate, but I 1.) tried to avoid nominating those of you who had already gotten this award, and 2.) tried to avoid nominating those of you who I've tagged in other posts recently.

Alright, here are my 11 questions for the ten of you listed up there (borrowed a couple from Chioma)!

1. How did you come up with your blog name?

2. As a reader, do you prefer poetry or short stories?

3. Favorite book author?

4. Cold weather or hot weather?

5. If you were going to learn to play an instrument, which would it be?

6. What is one word you just can't help but laugh at whenever you hear it?

7. Do you prefer to think ahead or just "go with the flow"?

8. What song is stuck in your head right now?

9. Do you try to maintain a posting schedule on your blog?

10. If you were going to change your name, what would you change it to?

11. How do you overcome writer's block when it hits?
