Hello Armchairers! We are now on Day 3 of Armchair BEA, wow! We're almost halfway toward wrapping up the week. For today, we are supposed to publish an interview we did with another blogger but as I learned about Armchair BEA at the last minute, I was unable to snag an interview with some awesome bloggy friends of mine.
So in place of an interview, I would like to do something different. ARGH will be interviewing me about some of my blogger friends, which might prove very interesting.
Here goes:
ARGH: Are you going to play favorites?
Me: Sort of? Not really, I'm just going to talk some of the blogger friends who are also participating in this year's Armchair BEA. And I might also mention a few who may not be participating but whom I really like.
ARGH: Okay, blogger friend number 1. Does this friend have a mustache?
Me: No! But this blogger friend does have an awesome talent for singing, and must be the coolest nerd I've ever known (apart from myself :D). I'm talking about none other than Lah from Lazy Girl Reads.

Me: No! But this blogger friend does have an awesome talent for singing, and must be the coolest nerd I've ever known (apart from myself :D). I'm talking about none other than Lah from Lazy Girl Reads.
Lah reads a lot of James Patterson (his suspense thrillers), lives in New York, and is actually the first ever blogger who helped me spread my very first feature/meme, 10 Good Things on a Monday. Because she is an opera singer, which I automatically classify as a music freak, she is my go-to girl for when I want to talk about background music for some books I read. When I began receiving blog awards, she's the first blogger I think of to pass on an award. And apparently, I'm the first one she thinks of too to send an award.
ARGH: So apart from being each others' award sender, how else is Lah special to you?
Me: If being the first blogger to support 10 Good Things on a Monday is not enough to make her special to me, then commenting on almost every post I made and being my 90th follower does. And besides, she loves you in glasses.
ARGH: So that was her! I love her too!
Me: Oh come on, if I didn't remind you that she was the one who liked your glasses and thought you were cute, you wouldn't even care.
ARGH: But I do! And all your readers think I'm cute.
Me: *rolls my eyes*
ARGH: So blogger friend number 2. Does this blogger walk backwards?
Me: She could probably do that but not every time. My next blogger friend I am featuring is Small from Small Review. Her blog is filled with so many awesome book things. I met her through her feature, Busting the Newbie Blues where each newbie answers a set of questions to let other bloggers get to know them more. In a way, I rode on her popularity :D
ARGH: So you used her. How could you!
Me: I didn't. That feature was open to everyone, and it was how I got to know her and made me decide she's awesome. And remember our first Nina vs. ARGH article? It was totally inspired by her Cover Crazy post and she knows it because she's amazing.
ARGH: Great blog features, inspiration for one of our posts, amazing blogger. I got it. So blogger number 3. Is this blogger an alien?
Me: Well, if she visits the Philippines, then she'll be considered an alien. Becky from Becky's Barmy Book Blog is from the UK, and is such a Gleek, that's why I'm so happy to get to know her because I'm a Gleek to and it's fun to have someone to gush about Glee!
Actually, last week, I was able to feature her on this new segment, Shelf Saturday. Check out Becky's book shelf and get to know about her massive book collection as well as a little bit about herself.
ARGH: Now for other blogger friends, that is, those whose names you did not see listed over at Armchair BEA and whom you just wanted to give a shout out. I'm going to mention some of them and give me the first word that pops into your head the moment you hear their name.
