Question:
Can you tell us five quirky habits or things about you?

1. I can lick my elbow. Be jealous :)

2. I love the smell of gasoline and Farm and Fleet.

3. I have trichotillomania, so I often will “squeak” my hair (I will rub my thumb up the shaft of a single strand of hair, thus causing a “squeaking” noise) when I am bored or tired.

4. I can’t really go anywhere without getting totally ready (hair and makeup done), mostly because of self confidence issues.

5. I have a lot of fears: bridges, spiders, tight spaces, places with a LOT of people, darkness, taking showers (I fear that a robber is going to come in my house or something, but I get super scared when taking showers when I’m home alone!), empty public bathroom, under the bed (I get scared when I walk by a bed and I have to have something blocking the side of the bed when I go to sleep), mirrors in the dark, Elmo (yes, the Sesame Street character), Raggedy Ann, and some others I’m probably forgetting. Yes, I’m an overly fearful person!

Question:
If you were given the chance to spend one day in a fictional world (from a book), which book would it be from and what would that place be?

I would love to spend a day in the world of The Mortal Instruments and I would love to join Jace, Clary, Alec, and Isabelle as a Shadow Hunter.

Question:
What character in a book would you most like to be, what character in a book would you most like to date?

I’m going to have to say Clary and Jace in the Mortal Instruments series (minus… you know) or Mia and Adam in If I Stay/Where She Went (obviously not for the heart break! That would be a terrible part of being Mia!).

Question:
Which blogger would you most like to meet in real life?

Hmm, I have a couple actually. Kristi from The Story Siren (love her blog, I visit it almost everyday), Vera from Luxury Reading (because I review for her, but she also seems really nice!), Jessica from ChapterChicks (I enjoy watching her videos and IMMs on youtube), Lucia from iLive, iLaugh, iLove Books (she seems downright awesome), Farrah from I Eat Words (again, love watching her videos on Youtube), Lauren from 365 Days of Reading (again love watching her videos on Youtube), and Isalys & Vanessa from Book Soulmates (they seem awesome and really fun to talk to and they made RAK!).

Whew. I’m sure I forgot some people, but there you have some of the bloggers I’d like to meet .

Question:
What is on your current playlist right now?

Well, nothing really on my iTunes playlist. I deleted all my music, with my old Windows profile (the profile had a virus or something). All I have right now is Go Radio and Paramore haha. The rest I listen to on Last.fm on the personalized radio thing, or on Youtube

Question:
If you find a book you love, do you hunt down other books by the same author?

Hmm, unless it’s a book in a series, no, not usually. Which is kinda bad, but I guess I don’t think about it. If I stumble upon another book by the same author, then yes, I’ll read it based on my opinion of another book by the same author.

Question:
Do you have anyone that you can discuss books with IRL (in real life)? Tell us about him/her.

Nope. I have nobody. I try to talk to my boyfriend about books (and he’s wonderful about listening, even though he probably does not care), but nobody else that I can have an in depth conversation about. When I go to the store and go past the books, I always want to talk to someone like “Hey, I loved that book!” or “I heard great things about that book!”

Question:
Pick a character from a book you are currently reading or have just finished and tell us about him/her.

Well, I am currently reading City of Ashes, so I will tell you about Clary. She’s probably one of my favorite characters from a book, because she’s balanced so well. She’s brave, yet afraid if that makes sense. She cowers in fear whenever Jace and crew are fighting demons, but she’s still brave. She’s just a wonderfully written character. If you haven’t read the Mortal Instruments series, you must be living under a rock! (Like I was)

Question:
Give us 5 book related silly facts about you:

1. I have bookshelves but I don’t actually use them. The reason is below.
2. I don’t use my bookshelves because I only have about 15 books or so.
3. I house them on my living room shelf, for convenience.
4. I don’t like to dog ear my books and hate it when I check a book out from the library and there’s damage.
5. I’ve won a lot of book contests and have been sad because I haven’t won/received a book in a while lol.

Question:
If you could physically put yourself into a book or series…which one would it be and why?

I would have to say the Harry Potter world because I want to be able to do magic!! Mostly for stupid stuff such as materializing food out of thin air. *stomach growls*

I messed up the previous Follow Friday and Book Blogger Hop’s title. It was supposed to be 4 last time, so just pretend it was .

Question:
How did you come up with your blog name?

I like books and I like tea. Lol. It actually didn’t take very long, but I didn’t want it to be just “Meghan’s reviews.” Although that might work for some people, it’s too plain for myself lol. So there you have it, a big look in my genius mind!

Question:
Do you read only one book at a time, or do you have several going at once?

I always have several going at once, so if I’m bored with one book, I can just start reading another and come back to that one when I want. Otherwise, I’d never read if I limited myself to one book at a time lol.

Question:
Who are you the boy/girl, instead of you the blogger?

When I first saw that question, I went huh? That was a weird way to ask the question . Anyway, I’m Meghan the girl. I’m pretty nerdy I guess? Not entirely so, I’m not really sure on that. I love reading and the computer. Anything with the computer like just plain old surfing and PC games. I love playing video games in general.

I have a boyfriend and he’s most of my life. When I’m not on the computer, I’m usually watching TV or doing something with him.

Uhh.. I’m pretty shy and antisocial, but I am pretty crazy if I know you well. I have no idea how else to describe myself without getting negative (I’m very self conscious and I hate it!)

Question:
If I gave you $80 and sent you into a bookshop right now, what would be in your basket when you finally staggered to the till?

Hmm.. entire Pretty Little Liars series. Entire Vampire Diaries series (those bind ups). Delirium, If I Stay, Before I Fall, uhh.. if I have money left after all that, then whatever looks pretty or looks very interesting (preferably both!).

…Can I have my money now?

Question:
What embarrassing thing have you done on cold medicine?

I've never done anything embarrassing while on cold medicine. And I'm assuming this question is either for or includes liquid cold medicine. That's the only kind I've ever taken :P.
I use :P a lot.... :P.


Question:
Who is your all-time favorite book villain?

Um.. this is tough because I haven't really read that many YA books (new to it kinda). I guess I'll say... Jules or Rixon from Hush, Hush/Crescendo respectively. I really have no idea.

Question:

Share your current fav television show! Tell us a bit about it...

I don't have one specific favorite show. I have several. Pretty Little Liars, The Vampire Diaries, Glee, Bones and House are all my favorite shows and they are in no particular order. I love all these shows and they are the ones I (usually) keep up with. A favorite show to me, means I keep up with it every week and miss it when I don't watch it :P.

This is my first week doing this meme. This week's question is..

Do you ever wish you would have named your blog something different?

No, because I like books and tea and I just started. Maybe someday down the road I won't like the name anymore, because maybe me and tea will fall out of love. Who knows! :P But for right now I am proud of the name I came up with xD.
