Blogger Love is our new feature where we spotlight some bloggers.
Hi all! It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so I wanted to feature these two lovely ladies who have been absolutely sweet. Today, put your hands together for:
General Blogging Info
Welcome to the blog, you two! Please introduce us to your blog.
C&K: Carmel & Kyla is where we get to share with other people our love for books, movies, TV shows, and everything under the sun.
How old is your blog?
C&K: One year old! Our blog anniversary was on May 3rd.
That’s so awesome! (Y’all can find their blog anniversary post here.) What books do you mainly blog about?
C&K: Young Adult novels.
What will readers most likely love about your blog?
C&K: Our blog layout!
Which one of you is sort of the “boss” when it comes to blogging?
Kyla: Carmel, since she’s the older one.
Carmel: What she said. Hehe.
What/who inspires you to keep blogging and why?
Kyla: My undying love for books is the reason why I’m inspired to blog. Plus all the authors & bloggers I love!
Carmel: All the amazing authors that I have interacted on Twitter. To name a few, it would be: Nikki Kelly (author of Lailah), Lindsay Currie & Trisha Leaver (authors of Creed), Annabel Monaghan (author of A Girl Named Digit).
If blogging was a tangible object, what would it be and why? (Basically, compare blogging to an object, haha!)
Carmel: Blogging is like having a pet dog. You have to be responsible for that dog.
Kyla: I agree with Carmel. Blogging is definitely like having a pet dog. A dog who can be stubborn, sometimes, but fun.
Weird Questions
When I say the word “blogging”, what are the first three foods you think of and why?
Kyla: Almonds, pizza, doughnuts.
Carmel: Squid balls, ice cream, french fries.
If you had the opportunity to hug three YA authors of your choice, who would they be?
Carmel: Kate Brauning (author of How We Fall), Tarryn Fisher (author of Never Never), Natalie Satandiford (author of How to Say Goodbye in Robot)
Kyla: Kimberley Griffiths Little (author of Forbidden), Fisher Amelie (author of Vain), and Suzanne Collins (author of The Hunger Games trilogy).
If you found out that all the internet connections in the world would disappear, what would your last blog post be about?
Kyla: About me and the things about me that no one knows.
Carmel: Secrets. ALL MY DEEP, DARK SECRETS.
Fun Facts
Carmel: (1) I’m fascinated with serial killers. I am such a fan of The Following; (2) Desserts come first. They get eaten first. I love eating anything sweet esp if it’s blueberry cheesecake and pistachio ice cream; (3) I love anything with lies and revenge. It was no surprise I so love Liars, Inc. (Speaking of lies and all the stuff, I play HerInteractive ‘s Nancy Drew games. I get to play as Nancy and solve mysteries. LOL I’m so weird.)
Kyla: (1) I am obsessed with Taylor Swift and cats; (2) I love Maggie Q. I have watched almost every movie/TV series of hers; (3) I spend most of my time daydreaming about things that will never happen.

Ooh, Carmel and Kyla sound so awesome. Relative bloggers are always such fun :) I’ve followed you on Bloglovin’ and your blog design really is lovely!
Pizza is definitely needed for blogging. I am oddly relieved that I’m not the only one who likes serial killer and dessert. And damn, I’m almost tempted to take down the Internet to find out all those DEEP, DARK SECRETS. XD

Ooh, I love these blogger spotlight features — I’m always in need of more awesome blogs to follow! And hehe, Carmel and Kyla were right: I really like their blog layout. It’s so cute and vibrant and just all around fun! :D And lol, I totally agree with what they said about how blogging is like having a pet dog… You have to take care of it and maintain it otherwise it will die out. Especially if you have your own domain. Then it literally WILL die.
CARMEL, WE ARE SO SIMILAR. I have this morbid fascination with serial killers as well. Like, if I come across a murderer I’m not familiar with, I’d wiki them up and read their full bio — especially the parts about their victims. Call me crazy, but they’re so interesting to read and know about. I have a weird interest in all psychopaths, really. O_O
Thanks so much for sharing, Aimee! It was nice getting to know these two wonderful ladies. :D

Ha–yes! I've never had a pet dog before, but I agree with the idea.
