Book Blogger Love-A-Thon: Interview with The Runaway Reader

Hey friends! It's Love-a-Thon time! If you want to know more about this event, put together by the lovely Alexa and Katelyn, check it out here. That said, I'm so excited to introduce you to Annie from The Runaway Reader! I've had the pleasure of interviewing this amazing blogger, so learn a little more about her and make sure you check out her fantastic blog!
------------------------------
Tell us three random things about yourself.

 I am 14 years old, I'm an only child and I love chocolate.

What has been one of your favorite moments of being a blogger?

It's hard to pinpoint individual moments because blogging has just generally been so much fun. I'd say one of my favourite moments though was participating in the very same Book Blogger Love-a-Thon last year. Back then, I didn't have much experience blogging yet so being a part of that event was a really great way for me to open up to the blogging community. It was so much fun, plus I met some really awesome bloggers!

What is one book that you wish you had written?

Harry Potter, for sure! (I know that's technically seven books) It has one of the most intricate storylines I've ever seen in a book and I just think it would be so cool to know that you're the mastermind behind this gigantic phenomenon. It's why I admire JK Rowling so much - you got to have a pretty wicked imagination to create something so great like Harry Potter!

What authors do you have on your auto-buy list?

Wendy Mass because all her books are so, so sweet. Patrick Ness because he's such a masterful storyteller. And Sophie Kinsella because she cheers me up and makes me laugh like no one else! 

Which genre would you love to see more of?

I would love to see more historical fiction. It's one of my favourite genres but I feel like in Young Adult especially, there just isn't such a great selection. So write more historical fiction, authors!

What are your five desert island books?

Tough, tough question! I actually remember doing a Top Ten Tuesday post for this topic a while ago so it's interesting to see it again! My first pick would probably be Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery just because I love that book so much. And Harry Potter too (I know I'm cheating with a series) because I also love them so much and they'd definitely provide me with tons of reading material. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins for something light and fun, as well as a chunkster like War and Peace to keep me thinking. I'd probably also bring something inspirational like The Happiness Project to keep my spirits up. 

Finish these sentences:  

My dream job is... not surprisingly, a blogger! How cool would it be to get paid to do your hobby? Plus, being a blogger means that I don't have to be stuck in a dingy office and can literally do my work from anywhere that has internet access. 
My favorite TV show to marathon is... New Girl. In my opinion, it's been going downhill since the last season but it's so hilaribad that I just can't help but enjoy it.
We could be best friends if... you don't mind me wanting to talk all the time.
