Brittany’s Questions
-
What is something that everyone looks stupid doing?
Wow, ummm eating with chopsticks? I know I look really stupid while I’m eating with chopsticks anyway. I probably hold them wrong and constantly drop my sushi into the soy sauce and splatter it everywhere. I hope everyone else looks as dumb as I do?
2. What would be the absolute worst name you could give your child?
Bilbo Baggins. Might be a cute dog name but definitely not a child. Poor Bilbo! He must have been teased a lot? I love The Lord of the Rings but really no kid should be named after any of the characters in that book/movie. Well, maybe Legolas. Hmmm.
3. If you had to name your child after a character from your favorite book, what would be their name?
Nevada from Ilona Andrews Hidden Legacy series. Her last name is Baylor which would also be a really cute first name.
4. What was the strangest gift you’ve ever received?
A long fake fur coat. It was truly horrible, and so not me.
5. Would you rather be able to control fire or water?
I would so like to control water! You could create mist and rainbows. How gorgeous is that?
6. What was the last gift you gave someone?
A basket of chocolates for my mom on Mother’s Day. She was so lucky I didn’t break into it!
7. What’s the last thing you watched on TV?
World of Dance. I’m watching it right now while I’m typing this! I love watching things I absolutely can’t do… except eating sushi with chopsticks.
8. Can you name three consecutive days without the words Wednesday, Friday or Saturday?
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Ummm, that was kind of weird. LOL.
9. Describe the color yellow to someone who is blind.
I would put their hand onto the windowsill so the sun was heating their skin and tell them that yellow looks like how their hand feels in that moment.
10. Are you superstitious?
No. I have a black cat named Sam, I step on cracks, and wash my underwear after winning a game. Just kidding, I hop the cracks.
11. Who is your favorite cartoon character?
Scooby Doo? Who doesn’t like Scooby? He is sweet, loves Shaggy, is kind of a scaredy cat and is all about those Scooby Snacks!
I’m not going to nominate any one as it’s time to pack and hit the road! However, if you feel like doing this tag, then I nominate all of you!!
I am taking a slightly different slant on these questions, so if you choose to do this let’s rename this the Super Hero Book Blogger Tag. Here are your 10 questions.
1. What Super hero would you be?
2. What color is your Super Hero outfit?
3. Who would you want beside you to fight crimes?
4. Would you have a secret identity or walk around in your Super Hero outfit all the time?
5. Who is your side kick? Name and Super power please!
6. What city does your super hero fight crime in?
7. Who is your arch enemy?
8. If you have to go to the bathroom while in your Super Hero costume, do you have to strip naked? Does it have a zipper? snaps?
9. What does your Super Hero do for a day job?
10. When your Super Hero retires, what hobby will you pick up to fill your time?
I think we have enough info to write a novel now, maybe Renegades 2? LOL
Thanks for reading!

(Adult Contemporary Romance) Midnight Valentine took me completely by surprise, which is why I would pick it over all of the other great books I’ve read this year. It has a big twist in a Sixth Sense sort of way. J.T. Geissinger always writes intense stories, but Midnight Valentine took it to a whole other level.
(YA Fantasy) It took me forever to get around to reading this second installment in the Rebel of the Sands series. I don’t know why? I loved the first book and maybe was afraid Traitor wouldn’t live up to the first, but in this case the second book was even better. LOVED it.
(YA Contemporary) I just received Saved the Date in an Uppercase Box subscription but haven’t gotten around to it yet. It has a ton of positive hype around it so I hope it’s as good as the press!
(Urban Fantasy) It is definitely Magic Triumphs by Ilona Andrews. This is the last (and 10th) book in the Kate Daniels series. It’s one of my all time favorite Urban Fantasy series and I will absolutely hate to see it end. It also comes out on my birthday. 8/28! Kismet, right?
(YA Fantasy/Fairy Tale) I’ll preface this by saying that I have definitely read worse books than The Hazel Wood this year. The reason why it’s my biggest disappointment was that I was so disappointed! The hype was so huge, so I didn’t read it right away trying to let all that die down and to try to forget about what I’d heard. When I finally read it, it was just eh. I thought it had such a great premise, was written well, but then the ending sucked. I think I gave it a 3.5? It should’ve been a 3.0 but it started off so well….
(Adult Contemporary Romance) My sister recommended this book to me and she is seldom wrong when it comes to a great romance novel. This was such a surprise because the author leads you astray. You are reading about two characters who you assume are each others love interest. But are they really? I don’t want to spoil the surprise but if you like Rock Star romances you need to read this one.
(Adult Contemporary Romance) I really don’t do crushes, but I did really like Ivan Lukov with Jasmine Santos in From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata.
(YA Fantasy) Brienne from Rebecca Ross’s The Queen’s Rising. She was young and insecure in the beginning but showed great growth. Also, as the heroine you expected her to all of a sudden gain some big power that would make her the hero and save the day. She definitely was a main part of the plot, but didn’t make the choices you’d expect a hero to make. This book kept things real.
(Adult Contemporary) I think Brittainy Cherry tries to make her readers cry? I immediately got the box of tissues out for this one. It was very good. And sad. And emotional.
(Adult Contemporary Romance) Anything by Penny Reid makes me happy. Her characters are quirky and fun. I always smile when I read their stories.
I think it would have to be Anne Bishop’s Lake Silence. I know, it’s not your typical kind of beauty, but it really gives you a hint of the otherworldliness you will be entering when you read this book. Plus the author signed it for me! I had a moment…
I would really like to finish Alwyn Hamilton’s Rebel of the Sands series. I liked the first two books so much and don’t want to lose that mental momentum!
I kind of hate this book cover, but am really looking forward to the first book in the Iron Covenant series by Ilona Andrews. How will they take their ultimate evil character Hugh D’Ambray from the Kate Daniels series and make him a hero? I can’t wait to find out!
