The Facts
-
One of the biggest deciding factors in my move to NYC was that I wanted to get rid of my car and never own one again.
-
I refused to read Harry Potter for about a year or two after I heard about it for the first time because my elementary best friend told me she preferred it to Animorphs, my favorite series at the time.
-
I am a bit of a movie snob, but I will make time for really crappy, really cheesy Christmas movies always. And I always tear up. The Hallmark Channel is currently my best friend.
-
I actually win contests more frequently than a person probably should. I have won at least 5 that I can remember off the top of my head.
-
I majored in English because I wasn’t skipping my Literature classes. I never had any intention of doing so, and I don’t find writing/papers to be my strongest skill.
-
I crochet because I find it relaxing and productive at the same time.
-
I have a mild addiction to make-up and hair products. I feel my hair is my best quality.
-
I am so in love with love, but I actually don’t think I’ll ever actively seek it. I’m fine with this.
-
I love making lists and notebooks. I have never finished an entire notebook, and I keep them for separate things.
-
I have a very healthy understanding and don’t fear death, which people tend to find weird.
-
I am pretty sure I am allergic to wine, which has led my to branching out in different alcohol tastings.
The Answers
-
How would you prefer to arrange your bookshelves? As mine currently has no organization other than a very light “these books are kind of alike,” “these are kind of the same size,” and “do I want people to know that I own this?” I’d love to do by color or by rating, once I’ve read all the books I own (bahahahahaha…)
-
Are you an outdoor or an indoor reader? Or, do you read by mood? Hm. Right now I am a subway reader and couch reader. Prior to my move, I read while walking on the treadmill or while walking the mall primarily and still was a couch reader. So I guess this makes me an indoor reader?
-
What type of book can you never get enough of even though you probably should give it a break and move on to something else for a bit? Dystopias tend to always be in my books to read or currently reading. Used to be mysteries…I kind of miss mysteries. And for awhile it was post-modernism fiction. And one point it was vampire novels. So I go through pretty natural waves. I’ve been in a dystopian one since May though….might be time to move on.
-
If you could choose the movie/TV cast members for your favorite book, who would you cast for your five favorite characters? Since I’m currently reading the second Grim Reaper book by Christopher Moore, I think I shall cast the first, A Dirty Job, as it is one of my favorite books.
- Charlie Asher: David Gareth Lloyd
- Minty Fresh: Rick Fox
- Jane Asher: Leighton Meester
- Audrey: Rachel McAdams
- Detective Rivera: Benjamin Bratt
- Lily: Hayden Panettiere (especially Scream 4 Hayden!)
- The widows: Kate Mulgrew and Emily Kuroda
- The Morrigan: Shay Mitchell, Natalie Dormer and Janel Parrish
-
If you could merge two of your favorite animals, which two would they be? (Weird question, but in my defense, I was thinking of polar bear dogs from The Legend of Korra…) Ooooh tough one. My favorite animals are moose and penguins, which would make a very, very strange animal. But both live in the cold, so it couldn’t be too bad? Just…quite possible ugly as can be.
-
Do you prefer hot or cold weather? Cold weather. But everyone says I haven’t really felt the cold weather, so ask me again come April.
-
What is your favorite fictional world? Harry Potter. This is my comfort, it’s like an old friend.
-
What do you usually like to do besides reading? I crochet — primarily hats — and I play(ed) lots of tennis. I like hiking, which has currently translated to walking the city. I love listening to podcasts too?
-
Do you tend to like having accompanying visuals/artwork in your stories or can you go without? I can go without quite easily.
-
Tea or coffee? Hot tea, primarily of the green variety (or cold with lemonade, yum!)
-
Angels or demons? I was all demons, hands down, until I just thought of Castiel. But, I think at the end of the day, I would much rather be evil without feeling consequences I guess!
