First "Blogger of the Month"

Hello everyone! So to end the month of March I have decided to share a fun little thing I want to continue doing from this moment on. I would like to present a new feature that I will be doing every month. 

It basically works the same way as my "Author of the Month", but instead of an author, it's a blogger. This little feature will be called
"Blogger of the Month" 
 and it will consist of a post that includes an interview with the chosen blogger, along with featuring them in my sidebar for that entire month. 

I hope you guys are excited, because I am very excited to be sharing this. I have already done some interviews with some bloggers and it has been a lot of fun getting to see their responses and learning new things about them.

LL & A's Monthly Book Tag

Welcome back to Alexis from I'M MAD FOR BOOKS, LUV and mine monthly book tag.

Every month we thought it would be fun to come up with a theme and to go along with that chosen theme, a tag. However it wouldn't be just your average tag, the questions would relate to books which in the end will also relate back to our theme for that month. So I guess you could call it a book tag.
To see the officially launch page click here 

We welcome anyone to join. If you do participate, we ask that you notify one of us via My Twitter or Alexis's Twitter, or by commenting on either of our posts with the link to how you did this book tag. In doing so it allows us to add the link to your book tag to that months book tag post on our blogs. We also ask that you somehow link back to us as well.

..................................................... 
 This Months theme is:
Spring



Questions:
1.    What is your Spring TBR?
Water’s Wrath by Elise Kova   
The Girl of Inkand Stars by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
The Black Mage series by Rachel E. Carter
The Blood of theHydra by Michelle Madow
South of Sunshine by Dana Elmendorf

2.    If someone asked you for a Spring release recommendation, what book would you suggest?
WATER’S WRATH by ELISE KOVA

3.    Which two books are you eagerly awaiting that releases within the next two months?
The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater
The Crown by Kiera Cass

4.    Which character would make a great Easter bunny?
Can I say Aldrik from the Air Awakens series? OH MY GOD, can we just take a moment to all picture the Crown Prince Aldrik in a bunny suit. What about Jax in a bunny suit? Or Baldair? WAIT I figured out my answer, Fritz. I choose Fritz to be the Easter Bunny.

5.    What book makes you think of Spring?
Rain by AmandaSun. The Spring time always reminds me of raining and all the fun stuff.

6.    Name a cover with flowers on it
Air Awakens by Elise Kova.. It has all those roses..such pretty roses.

7.    Which two characters would you want to go on an Easter egg hunt with?
Bastien from Thief of Lies by Brenda Drake, and Elecia from the Air Awakens series by Elise Kova. I think these two would make excellent hunters.

8.    What is your favorite bookish-spring activity to do?
I love taking my books outside and photographing them in all the pretty blooming flowers

9.    Which book did you enjoy that had a Springish cover?
I actually couldn’t think of one, but maybe you guys can leave suggestions in the comments for a spring orientated cover.

          10.What is your favorite contemporary author?
My go to genre is Fantasy and sci-fi, I don’t read much contemporary but a recent author would be Emery Lord.

~Why Air Awakens is epic



As some of you may know (since I think I have it mentioned ALL over my twitter, facebook and Instagram) BUT I am sort of completely obsessed with the Air Awakens series by Elise Kova

Today's purpose of this post is not only to gush my heart out over this amazing series, but to also share with you, as my readers, 5 reasons why this series justifies as one of my all time favourites and should be yours as well.
