Hello friends!
I just discovered this magical thing that is the Love-A-Thon and I couldn’t resist signing up.
The Love-A-Thon is hosted by four wonderful book loving, blog writing divas and you can check out their blogs at Alexa Loves Books, The Daily Prophecy, The Novel Hermit, and Stay Bookish.
I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with it all, but here’s my questionnaire to kick things off and then I’m off to visit as many book loving blogs as possible đ
QUESTIONNAIRE
- Whatâs your name?
- Kizzi
- Where in the world are you blogging from?
- The great state of Missouri đ
- How did you get into blogging in the first place?
- I wanted an outlet that would get me writing about anything and everything on a regular basis. I donât really write about everything though, mostly just books and writing advice.
- How did you come up with your blog name?
- I worked for the circus and we had three shows every single Saturday. Itâs a nod to the circus, to hard work, to things that make you laugh and things that make you cry. A three show Saturday is an exhausting, but fulfilling day. I hope my blog doesnât exhaust people though đ
- What genre do you read and review the most on your blog?
- Childrenâs literature of all kinds. Though I have a soft spot for quirky, adventurous characters, fantasy and books that make me laugh.Â
- What other types of posts do you do on your blog, apart from reviews?
- I post writing tips and advice (that I hope is helpful) and writing exercises/prompts.
- Best blogging experience so far?
- I just started my blog, so pretty much every comment Iâve ever received was like a tiny Christmas gift. I really get excited over the smallest things since my blog is still shiny and new.
- Favorite thing about the blogging community?
- Everyone is super supportive of each other and there is so much great content available!

- Whatâs an underrated book or series that you think everyone should read?
- The Abhorsen Trilogy…though now itâs technically a quartet with the addition of Clariel but the original three books are really spectacular. And anything by Terry Pratchett but especially all the books of his DiscWorld series.
- Who would you recruit for your apocalypse squad (5 characters max)
- Sabriel, Ăowyn, Arya, Daenerys, and Aragorn. Â
- Apart from reading, what are your other hobbies or interests?
- Writing, Sewing, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
- At a party, the DJ suddenly changes the song â and itâs your song. What song would be playing?

- Exactly like the one in Beauty and the Beast.
- Author you want to meet and sit down to tea with?
- Garth Nix
Hi Kizzi! Can we start with me saying – YOU WORKED FOR THE CIRCUS? That’s so amazing! I have always found circuses fascinating. (I also want to read The Night Circus, by the way.) And I love the Abhorsen series, though I’ve only read the first three! They’re amazing though. Glad you could join us, and happy love-a-thon!
