Thank you for tagging me, @veinslikefeathers!! 

Once you get this, list 5 things you like about yourself and send it to 10 of your favorite followers.

1. I’m very efficient. I’m that one kid you need in every group project so you don’t have to worry about not getting things done.

2. My eyes. My eyes are probably the only parts of my body that I love and appreciate the most. They look amazing under the sun.

3. My writing skill. This seems to be the asset possessed by every reader from reading all the books. I really like writing essay and it seems to be my strongest and promising academic skill.

4. I remember people. If you know me, you don’t have to worry about getting a “who are you?” from me if you happen to bump into me in store even though we may not be that close. Even though you were my classmate from a long time ago, I still remember you.

5. I don’t speak my unnecessary judgement outloud. So if you want to get a second serving, go ahead, I will too.

Thank you for tagging me, lived-a-thousand-lives and behind-the-bookshelves! ❤

1. You have 20,000 books on your TBR. How in the world do you decide what to read next?

Hmmm... I usually finish the stand-alone books first then the series.

2. You’re halfway through a book and you’re just not loving it. What do you do?

I'd still finish the story because I always want answers unless that book is pure pointless with the same drama appearing every five chapters. 

3. The end of the year is coming and you’re so close, but so far away on your Goodreads reading challenge. Do you try to catch up and how?

Well.. I'm ashamed to admit this but I changed the amount of books. hahaha. I did the same thing last year.

4. The covers of a series you love do. not. match. How do you cope?

I just have to deal with it eventhough it gets on my nerves sometimes when I randomly look at my bookshelf and they don't match. 

5. Everyone and their mother loves a book you really don’t like. Who do you bond with over shared feelings?


Tumblr people :') There's almost closed to no one I can share my feelings about books in real life but I appreciate those who are willing to listen to my rant regarding my dissatisfaction and obsession about the storyline or rarely, fictional characters. 


6. You’re reading a book and you are about to start crying in public. How do you deal?

I'd never do that. At home, it can be done but surely not public places. 

7. A sequel of a book you loved just came out, but you’ve forgotten a lot from the prior novel. Will you re-read the book?

No. I'd just pretend I know some of them because along the way, bits and pieces about the characters would come together. 

8. You do not want anyone. ANYONE. borrowing your books. How do you politely tell people nope when they ask?

Erm.. This is one of the problems I've been facing for the past years. As much as I don't want people to borrow my books because I don't trust them to treat my babies very well as I do, I could never say no because I'm that weak. ahaha. I have to face the consequences after that; either not getting my book back or the condition is degrading.

9. You’ve picked up and put down 5 books in the last month. How do you get over your reading slump?

Give it some time. Don't force myself because this habit doesn't go away easily. You just need to find the right one to pick yourself up back. 

10. There are so many new books coming out that you’re dying to read! How many do you actually buy?

If I have the money, I'd buy everything without a second thought. But since I still ask my parents for money everytime my wallet is empty and I'm not their only responsibility, I have to control my greed and the most I've ever bought in one trip is 6 books. 

11. After you’ve bought the new books you can’t wait to get to, how long do they sit on your shelf before you get to them?

Rules:  - I’m not good at rules but answering the questions would be cool.  - Tag anyone and everyone.  - Remember to put ‘the babbler tag’ in the tags so I can search y’all up.

What’s the meaning of your name?

My full is Nur Izzah. In Arabic, "Nur" means "Light" and "Izzah" means "Might". They rhyme, I know. So cool.

How did you come up with your url name?

I've always used the term "on the loose". Like when I'm hungry, I'd be "hungry girl on the loose", or when someone is being a annoying to me "bitch on the loose."

Would you describe yourself as: a) wise as Dumbledore b) Hermione Granger’s twin c) Luna Lovegood’s dream friend d) Voldemort’s awkward hug. e) Kreacher 

Well, I never actually gave this a thought but I think I am more like Hermione Granger's non-identical twin. 

What’s your favourite book genre?

Young Adult. I'd love to explore other choices but for now, YA has my best interest and I don't think I can force myself into liking something I am not familiar with. 

What’s your least favourite genre and mention one book that particularly irks you. 

I am sorry to say this but by far, it's sci-fi. I am not sure if the book I read was a bad one or the genre just doesn't come to my liking. I am staying a heaven away form it.

Would you describe your book collection as a) I’m a borrower, not a buyer b) I have a healthy amount of books that are well-loved and read. c) My bookshelf is beginning to feel a little cramped but must. get. more. books d) Book collection? You meant library, yes?

My bookshelf is "a bit" cramped at the moment but we, readers, don't see that as a problem. It is more like a motivation and encouragement to get more. 

Aside from tumblr, do you have a Goodreads? Instagram? Twitter? Link them here!

You can find everything on my page :)

Who are your friends on tumblr and have you ever met any of them in real life? 

one to two people only and the others are outside my boundary. 

Mention 5 of your favourite authors.

Cassie Clare, Colleen Hoover, Maggie Stiefvater, John Green, Sarah. J Maas.

Tell me an interesting bookish tale of yours.

One time in General Paper class in college, my teacher saw my friend holding an "erotic" book that I own. So she brought the book to her table and read the synopsis. She came to me after found out it was mine and started asking questions. "Is this yours?" and I said yes. Know that at that time, we had this assignment where we had to present our favorite book to the whole class so she asked me "are you gonna present this?" which I replied with a no. Then she started talking about 50 shades of grey, she read the first book because her friend recommended it to her. I told her I read all all the books and she was obviously stunned and stuttered "well, that's good."
