We’re kicking off the new year by sharing some quirky facts about us as well as a fun giveaway. There are tons of stops on this hop, so be sure to check out all of the stops on the Hop to get in on all the fun!
Some Things You Might Not Have Known About Us (But Probably Did)
- The theme of this blog isn’t just our brand. It’s our lives. We totally draw little hearts and pictures on the boxes we send to each other.
- Most of you know this, but Swoony Boys Podcast was founded by two besties who met each other reading and flailing about Twilight fanfiction. We still talk about some of our favorite stories from time to time.
- We also have a blog where we post New Adult and Adult book reviews, but we’re combining everything one day in the future.
- Our most popular post last year was when All the Bright Places author Jennifer Niven revealed her Top 10 Favorite Fictional Boyfriends.
- Our post with the least views last year was our Waiting on Wednesday post for The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon. Guess ya’ll got tired of waiting for that one, too? haha
- One
or bothof us might be ashamed to admit that we watch The Bachelor.
- Meg travels with a selfie-stick.
- Kass is afraid of all insects, except spiders. She doesn’t like those, but she won’t injure herself trying to get away from them.
There’s lots more we could tell you, but where’s the fun in listing it all out? We share lots of things on our podcast and will have even more coming up when we start our booktube channel soon!
***GIVEAWAY***
Thanks for hopping by, Pretties

That is very interesting, Richard! I definitely need to check this person out!
I like to read magazines backwards and i am not the best driver.
Don’t even get me started on my driving. Why do you read your magazines backwards?!?
I will pose my daughter’s dolls, and send her pictures with narratives about what they are doing. That’s sort of quirky, or is that just weird? =)
That. Is. Awesome!
I like to make odd cushions and pin cushions.
That’s fun!
I am a huge anime and manga fan.
Oooh fun! Are you excited for the Sailor Moon Funko Pops that are coming out?
I’m an avid reader. I read over 200 books last year and have signed up to do the Goodreads Reading Challenge again this year.
I also hoard scrapbook supplies. I buy more at least once a month for some project or other. I use them to make different things, not just scrapbooks. The last things I made with my scrapbook supplies were little notebooks and recipe card holders for my girlfriends for Christmas. Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win.
We should be friends, Renee! I’m a craft supplies hoarder for sure, too! My latest obsession is washi tape 🙂
I like to dress up our cat, even though he hates it!

I don’t like odd numbers, and make sure I eat an even numbers of bites or objects every time.
I’m the opposite 🙂
I hate wasps and I will do anything to avoid them especially if they get in the house even if it means shutting doors and not letting anyone else in until the wasp has been dealt with I do apologise after!

I enjoy watching cartoons when I am stressed out.
I have ordered my children not to grow, but they’ve defied my orders. I’ve just measured my 12-year-old daughter and she’s as tall as I am. So I suppose my quirkiness is giving my children insane, ridiculous, and impossible orders.

I can type super fast – last test I had was over 80 WPM – I can also speed read
I have a fear of driving over bridges.
I always find myself enjoying books, tv shows or movies that other people hate. It’s not that I do it deliberately. I just really love whatever it is, go online to read reviews and more stuff about it. Then I’ll often find that so many people hate it. It’s always a little bit embarrassing. I don’t like the thing any less, but it just feels weird for me to love it so much when so many other people hate it.
my children were born on the summer and winter solstices
I always tell my cat how long I’ll be gone when I leave so he doesn’t worry about me!
I write and hold the pen with all my fingers!

Hy, my name is Nikolina and I have a serious book addiction…. 😀
I sometimes still read books that I was really into when I was around 11 or 12…books definitely not targeted to people my (current) age. I think I do it mostly out of nostalgia, but I kind of still enjoy them :p
