Thank you to my BEA Buddy Amber for tagging me to do this! Now,  I've got to choose some people to pass this onto! It's really fun to do(Although I did finish writing out the facts at midnight) and I did have to dig quite deep to make myself sound much more interesting than I actually am! So, I tag: Sunny, Ruby, Charli, Rachel and Hawwa , not forgetting the other member of our Library Hotel Party, Rita! . But feel free to do it and share this around!
