Hey, everyone! So since this is my first year book blogging, this is the first time I'll be participating in the annual Book Blogger Love-A-Thon. In case you don't know, the Love-A-Thon is hosted by Alexa from Alexa Loves Books, and it's all about spreading positivity in the book blogging world.

| That's me! |
A: Erin
2. Q: Where in the world are you blogging from?
A: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It's usually a pretty cool place, but Elsa has set off an eternal winter here, complete with bone-chilling temperatures, three frozen rivers, and more and more snow by the day.
3. Q: How did you get into blogging in the first
place?
A: I used to have an education blog, and I missed being able to express my thoughts. I thought about the amount of reviews that I was posting on Goodreads, so The Hardcover Lover was born.

4. Q: How did you come up with your blog name?
A: Pretty much every book in my personal library is a hardcover. It started when my grandma suggested that I start buying all my favorite books in hardcover instead of paperback, and then I kind of bought every book that way.

7. Q: Best blogging experience so far?
A: I've met a lot of awesome new people, and I love being able to discuss books with them without feeling like people think I'm weird or something. Another great experience was getting an email that let me know that I was getting a physical ARC of a book that I was really, really wanting.

10. Q: What’s
an underrated book or series that you think everyone should read?

11. Q: Which
book boy or girl would be your book BFF?

12. Q: Apart
from reading, what are your other hobbies or interests?
A: I can sew, but my sewing machine is put away until I move. I'm also a teacher, and I'm looking into possibly becoming a librarian. I can also play the clarinet, but it's been a pretty long time since I last took it out to play something other than scales.

13. Q: Apart
from book shopping, what else do you like shopping for?
A: Teacher clothes - I have a thing for dresses with bell skirts. Ballet flats are another thing that I can't resist. I just love them. I also love shopping for cute storage containers even though I have nowhere to store them.

14. Q: At
a party, the DJ suddenly changes the song – and it’s your song. What song would be playing?
A: There are just so many to choose from! It would definitely be a Taylor Swift song though. I freaking love Taylor Swift.

15. Q: Pick
out either a book you want turned into a film/TV show, or a film/TV show you want turned into a book.
A: I really think it would be awesome to see The Selection series by Kiera Cass as a TV show. Can you imagine all of those gowns? So pretty!
