I got tagged by the lovely Chrissie (@plus10kapow) for 10 facts about me, so here we go!

1. Rob! The first syllable of my name sounds just like this so why not?😄 2. My eye color is brown. Like chocolate which I absolutely enjoy! 😋
3. My natural hair color is dark brown. As for my hair color now? It's a reddish brown.
4. I have a fascination with names! In a prior post I mentioned there's a name for such a fascination: onomastics/onomatology. I get annoyed when people assume I'm pregnant just because of my interest.
5. Pink! Duh 😄 (Timeout for you if you didn't know!)😉 6. Bookstores! Libraries! Wherever books are sold of course!
7. Favorite celebrity? Hmmm, this one is hard! If I said, @salmaelwardany does that count? She's a star in my book! If you meant like an entertainer hmm Roman Reigns. (He's in my IG story in case you've no idea who he is, he's a wrestler and The Rock's cousin)

8. Favorite animal is definitely pigs! Plus they're pink 😄 (sometimes)
9. Oh my! My favorite song varies on a daily. Right now I'll say Write Your Story by @francesamusic and Eye of the Tiger by Queen

10. My favorite book? Umm how much time do you have? We can be here a while 😂
At the moment my signed Batman Encyclopedia is my favorite. If you've seen my stories over the last week you know the one I'm referring to.

Hope you've enjoyed these facts about me. I've tagged a few people but take part if you want to!

1. Writing (includes getting new journals & pens and being part of reading and writing community here is super amazing)
__

2. Reading (includes seeing shelfies, the scent of books, pretty covers, audiobooks, etc)
__

3. Fresh (favorite) foods (especially the smell & taste of a good pie preferably apple crisp or peach cobbler, cheesecake counts too)
__

4. Cosplay (also includes going to Comic Con. I love going and seeing the creativity cosplayers come up with *I have pictures from conventions waaaay below)
__

5. Hot pink (if you didn't know this go to your room & think about what you missed!!😂
Also, you must be new 'round these parts and I welcome you. Scroll down to see more beautiful pinkness)
__

6. Taking & editing photos (I 💖 capture the beauty/rawness around me & I 💖 flexing those creativity skills)
__

7. When my hair turns out the way I want it to (very rare but it happens. I love the fiesty nature of my hair. It's got attitude!)
__

8. A movie/TV shows surprise/impresses/inspires me (believe it or not I still get surprised by this medium. I'm most happiest when I am inspired by them)
__

9. Being out in nature (seeing night sky, rainbows, waves, gardens) witnessing the power, wonder & creativity of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
__

10. To bring joy to others and see it passed on. Also helping & being kind to others (it costs absolutely nothing) free is grand

__

So much makes me happy but in all honesty I am overjoyed by simple things. I've learned all things do is weigh & wear you down. I think having so many things & wanting to torch it from time to time has taught me that as well. The above things are in no specific order but I left out some things as they are waaaaayyyyy too personal to share here. That's for a different post altogether 😄
__
What 10 things make you happy? I was going to tag 10 people but how unlike me to do that? I've tagged 11 but it's open to all. I'd like to thank @authordianatyler for tagging me to do this. 💞

Do you have that one thing that always seems to be there when you're reading? It could be a mug, bookmarks, ribbon, anything really. In my case, I've got Kai my reading buddy bear. She means a lot to me. Not only did my wonderful boyfriend gift her to me years ago, Kai is wearing the shirt of my cousin Ty
__
Ty is special to me as is his sister. The two of them are as close to a little brother and sister as I've gotten. Much love to them both 💖 we don't see each other often anymore but that doesn't mean I don't think of them all the time.
__
Kai is accompanied by a journal that I love to doodle and write snippets of poetry when I'm out and about or an idea strikes. It definitely comes in handy & although it's been difficult to maintain a journal again it's been interesting
__
I was tagged by the lovely @authordianatyler to do #bookandbuddy (Thanks to Diana by the way) Go check her out! I also tag @chicnerdreads @quillfullbliss @sosapphira
___

Since I'm reading a variety of things mostly poetry (Including The Phoenix Letters by @soshiniesingh) I just shared the journal I use to write down ideas and inspirational quotes. I'll tag a few...more than a few (lol) for this tag although it's open to all.
Comic books included!! If that's what you're reading. Use the tag above and take a picture of your book buddy (an inanimate object like a bookmark, mug, candle, etc) and what you're reading or what you're reading, your book buddy along with yourself in a photo together. I'm currently sick so I chose to take a photo of my book buddy & my favorite journal. Enjoy!💖💖💖 #writing #write #journal #booksbooksbooks

@morrisongrl I think these are the biggest and smallest I have for #TitanTinyBook
Poor Lyra's Oxford is towered over by Stanley Kubrick's Napoleon: The Greatest Movie Never Made. That beast doesnt fit on the shelf vertically, and instead lies flat with other books on top of it.

There are books that always resonate with you. This gem of a book is wonderfully moving, and beautifully crafted. And the cover's gorgeous, as well! I usually do not prefer movie-tie-in covers but this is an exception.I love the contrast in colors, and Zhang Ziyi's beauty is simply striking.
.

And so got an idea to create a new tag, I'm not sure if there's already one, but let's try #favoritemovietieincover and blow me away with those covers, please! Thanks, and happy Fri-yay everyone!
