The Liebster Award: Favorite Movies, First Names and Pizza Topping

I realized I don’t do many tags or awards. I have a few in my waiting list that I never seem to get to and so, I’m pushing myself to do one today. Thanks to Graham on yesmoreblogs who nominated me(and who has apparently given me a questionable nickname of ‘PP’). He writes reviews on sci-fi, fantasy and action, posts on his life struggles and is a dad! Graham is a down-to-earth and overall flippin’ great bloke. Sometimes I wonder how I’ve had the luck to meet so many good-hearted people here!

Now, on to the award!

— Rules —

• Thank the person who nominated you and give a link to their blog.
• Answer the questions you are asked.
• Nominate few other bloggers for the award and inform them.
• Create ten interesting questions to be answered by them.

— Answers —

1. Favorite movie/TV show/anime
   • There are so many worthy of mentioning here and I’m not the kind of person to have a ‘most favorite’, but for the sake of the question: Inception, for its matryoshka doll element, heist-like action and Joseph Gordon-Levitt ;-P And a few other favs:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

   • Favorite TV Shows:
     

     

     

     

     

     
   • Compared to anime-lovers, I’ve watched, like, zero animes. How do you compare when you don’t have any to compare? Anyway, Detective Conan, for it’s Agatha Christie cleverness and moments of cosiness.
2. Favorite book
   • 

     

     

     

     
3. Do you pour milk first or cereal ?
   • Cereal first, so it doesn’t float.
4. What’s that one thing you’ve been putting off for a really long time?
   • Exercise, hehe. I need to make that a habit so I don’t start manifesting illnesses!
5. Your first name, and what would you change it to, if you wanted to?
   • My first name’s Fathima, it’s excessively common in Islamic culture to include the name of Prophets, their relatives and friends, into our names. I’d go for Olivia, Catherine or Rosalind instead.
6. Link a post you liked a lot (can be your own, someone you follow or a follower’s)

   • 11 Missed Calls by Elizabeth Carpenter

   • Review | To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo

   • Shadow Weaver by Claire Merle (Book Review)

7. One thing you wished you knew before you started blogging?
   • That I could get ARCs of great books without a humongous following! This is an amazing way to read books legally for free! Granted, you’re paying with your time and efforts writing a review.
8. The kind of pizza you order, or any other food item that you wanna make dinner out of, but you’re almost broke.
   • I don’t quite understand the question…but the kind of pizza I’d order: Margherita or Veg with Meat or Pepperoni(and don’t faint but I don’t mind pineapple on my pizza! I think it’s a matter of acquired taste, East Asians have salty-sweet combos in their cuisine). And one of them will have stuffed cheese crust, Dubai’s Pizza Hut-style.
9. Personal preference, car or motorbike?
   • Car. Motorbikes scare me. I like guys who ride motorbikes, though. Who wouldn’t? 😉
10. Full moon turns you into a werewolf, yes or no?
    • No, thank you. It’d be so inconvenient having to go through clothes like a paper shredder. Although, the moon does mesmerize me!

— My Questions —

My questions are going to be the same, (a) because this way I get to know my nominees better, and (b) because I’m LAZY and I know I get deterred from finishing a post if I spend too long on it. Feel free to include more than one favorite!
