Let's Talk About Kevin

KEVINOh, hello, sugar cookies!


Please prepare yourself for an extremely narcissistic post about yours truly. Heh. Well, don't blame me, blame Liam from Liam's Library who suggested that I do this tag. Oh, God. I am rolling my eyes as I type this. Okay, random facts about me. Seriously, you are under no obligation to make until the end of this lengthy post. 50 random facts about me. Well, you'll probably get bored after 10 but here goes.




  1. I love books. (See, Kev? That was easy!)

  2. I sniff books. Nothing weird about that.

  3. I sleep with my books - no joke. I have piles of books on my bed. And they smell good too.

  4. I am severely anal about my books. A little angel dies when I see cracked spines, folded pages/covers and dents. UGH.

  5. My birthday is August 18th. I share it with my Dad and a few friends.

  6. I'm a Leo!

  7. I am pursuing my degree in English Linguistics.

  13. I can recite 90% of the dialogue in Mean Girls and White Chicks.

  14. ARE YOU STILL WITH ME? Or are you half-hanging on your seat? Or your phone's smack dab on your face? NO? Okay, moving on. I swear a lot. Like, a lot. I am worse than a sailor.

  15. I never liked wearing formal attires. UCK.

  16. My favourite retail store is Uniqlo. Most of the time, I'm head-to-toe in Uniqlo.

  17. I wear sweatpants to class most of the time.

  18. My best friend and I bonded over books, tea and Gossip Girl. I am the Serena to her Blair.

  27. I see myself working in New York, hopefully in one of the publishing houses in the future.

  28. I love YA more than anything now.

  29. I am a tea drinker but lately, I don't mind coffee! Earl Grey, anyone?

  31. I've been in the newspaper for World Book Day 2014.

  36. I like making lists.. of books I want to get!

  37. I play tennis.

  38. Maria Sharapova is my queen.

  39. I love Chris Evan's tree stumps. I mean arms.

  40. Bookstores are my natural habitat.

  41. I eat Nutella out of the jar. Peanut butter too. Just ask Sarah J. Maas. It's the only way to eat them.

  42. I have a bad record when it comes to LGBT books. Like, I don't even know why.

  43. I am perpetually rolling my eyes. I get annoyed easily. At least, that's what I tell myself.

  44. My favourite Disney films are Mulan and The Little Mermaid.

  45. I am pretty good at celebrity impressions! Adele, Nigella Lawson, Bianca Del Rio, Fran Drescher, Ariana Grande, just to name a few.

  47. Pizza is life.

  48. I had a Golden Retriever called Happy and a Rottweiler called Kaizer but they ran out of the house and never came back.

  49. I love my Harry Potter dreams. They are the best.

  50. I am still waiting for my Hogwarts letter that is 11 years late.

  51. BONUS: I think you're cute!


Fuck me, that wasn't so hard. I took less than a day.

Thank you for painstakingly reading every single fact about me. If you skimmed through, I still think you're cute.

If you fancy doing this tag, go ahead! BUT I AM TAGGING Joey from Thoughts and Afterthoughts because I want to know how old he is.

    OMG this list though. :D I hope I get to see you one day, Kevin, at NY in the future hehe.

    I'm anal about books too. Like they have to be in TOP condition, or else my heart will shed a tear. (Although I'm like that with most things... Once I refused to use a piece of paper for my notes because it got bent from a book. WHat is my life?!) Yay for good-smelling books! (and sweatpants ftw omg)

    Seriously, just stop with saying you're not interesting. This was so great to read!
    We're both born in August and we're both Ravenclaws, I knew there was a reason I liked you :)
    I think I can recite 100% of the dialogue from Mean Girls, that movie is liiiiifffeee. By the way, you misspelt Serena Williams when you were talking about your favourite tennis player. Just thought I'd let you know. Oh man, Chris Evans *fans self*, he should never wear a shirt.
    And me too Kevin, me too. One day our Hogwarts letter will arrive and we'll both be in Ravenclaw, visiting Hogsmeade and going to the library. It will happen!
    You're the best for doing this. It was awesome to read all these things about you. <3

    Haha. Oh, so you like me? 😏😏

    Mean Girls is life. Yasssssssss, gawd. Like, Regina George is my spirit animal besides Bianca. Haha.

    We shall hang out in the Ravenclaw common room and read by the fire! And check out the Hogwarts library!

    Aw, shucks. You're making me blush, Liam! Thanks for reading everything! 😝

    Ravenclaw buddies, my friend!

    I witnessed your fanboy moments and had a fangirl moment with you during the Queen's aka Sarah J. Maas' signing. 10/10 would squeal together again. :D

    Keep it in your pants Kevin, geez ;)
    Yes! Regina's queen. Is Bianca from that show RuPaul's Drag Race? My friend's obsessed with it. You two should be besties.
    OMG the common room is so awesome. I'd be so worried about figuring out the riddle at the door though.
    You're welcome. We'll call it even, not prize for either of us for reading it all?

  16. bookevinSunday, April 17, 2016 9:21:00 pm

    Pfft! What were you thinking with all the pants business? Christ on a bike, Liam!

    Yessss. Bianca is from Drag Race - I need to meet this friend of yours! Maybe I'll like him/her more than you 😏

    Don't worry! We have other Ravenclaws to help us! Though the whole riddle is quite daunting 😝

    Hi there, hello Kevin! Well this post was a bit narcissistic indeed, but I love getting to know other bloggers! Don't worry, I snif books as well. NOTHING weird about that, ahah. And you love editing? Well, we should trade places: I LOVE writing, but editing is something I can't manage to do. I try, though. I think I know the movie Mean Girls by heart, I just love it so, so much ahah.
    And hm, books, tea, and Gossip Girl? YES PLEASE.

    I refuse to believe #33 about you! :P Should we sing Let it go and then you'd unfreeze the kingdom you turned to ice??

    Its always lovely to know more about the person behind a blog. Sniffing books, oh gosh don't get me started. New ones, old ones, its all a different experience!

    It might be necessary.

    I am very warm and friendly on the Internet. Perhaps not so much in person. Haha.
