Our Answers to the Little Library Muse’s Question

1.If you could be a werewolf, vampire, or fairy...which would choose and why?

Stephanie: I would pick a fairy. I have always found them interesting and it would be cool to see the world from their perspective.

Jess: I always think a vampire, but I’m not that into killing things- I just like the romantic aspect of it- big Anne Rice fan : ) Probably fairy in all honestly- love their magic!

2. What one book inspires you?

Stephanie: Harry Potter- J.K. Rowling has such an amazing style of writing that I want to be in her stories!

Jess: Love, love, love Harry Potter- but Katniss Everdeen is just awesome, so also have to mention The Hunger Games- Suzanne Collins is an amazing writer!

3. You are on top of the highest mountain, how did you get there and who is with you?

Stephanie: I was dropped off by a helicopter and I am with my husband.

Jess: I flew and I am by myself.

4. Favorite book right now?

Stephanie: Harry Potter.  I also love Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett and The Hunger Games series bySuzanne Collins.

Jess: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

5. If your life was to be written into a fiction novel, who would be the author?

Stephanie: I would love for it to be written by J.K. Rowling- but I think Judy Blume would be more apt to write about my life since my life isn’t very fantasy based.

Jess: Uh! J.K Rowling, read by Jim Dale! 

6. What do you love about blogging?

Stephanie: I love getting to know other bloggers and reading about my favorite things, books!

Jess: Everything Stephanie said!

7. Do you like to cook? Bake?

Stephanie: I do not cook or bake.  Lucky for me my husband loves to cook. Oddly enough- I worked for a caterer for 4 years and did a ton of cooking and baking. Maybe that is why I don’t do much of either now!

Jess: Oh Gosh, no! And, no one wants me to either!

8. What do you think about the new T.V. shows such as Once Upon a Time, and Grimm that have taken the darker approach to fairy tales?

Stephanie: I find the idea of both shows fascinating. I still haven’t had a chance to see either one- but I would love to check them out.

Jess: Eh, I love the real fairy tales in the books- especially Grimm and Han Christian Anderson.

9.If you could create your own city/world, what would it be called? What would it look like?

Stephanie: If I could create my own world it would be underwater- but everyone would be able to breathe.  It would be called The Cove.

Jess: It would be called Fiddler’s Green and it would be a natural city, gleaming in green, cerulean blue and all the colors of the rainbow- and everyone can fly : )

 

11.  Choose one of these superpowers, flight or invisibility. Why?

Stephanie: I would love to be invisible. I am a teacher and I can go very few places without running into people that I know. Being able to be invisible would allow me to run errands without showering and I could make myself invisible if I didn’t feel like chatting with someone.

Jess: Fly, just because I want to!

12. Other than reading, how do you spend your spare time?

Stephanie: Writing, traveling, teaching, and sleeping.

Jess: Creating, thinking, spending time with people I love to hang out with.

Our Answers to the Questions From: Barbara from March House Books

1. Do you use a bookmark or will any old bit of paper do?

Stephanie: I use anything to mark my books- an old card, a sticky note, a real bookmark, it all depends on what is close by when I need to mark my spot.

Jess: Ribbons actually.

2. What new books are you most excited to read this year?

Stephanie: Hmm.. so many. I have a list a couple of pages long.  I would like to read the new series that Rick Riordan has out, as I have only read the Percy Jackson series.

Jess: I agree.. Hmmm...whatever I see that sparks my imagination- right now there are quite a few- Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins is next on my list.

3. Favourite season?

Stephanie: For me- it is summer. I love to swim and I adore the beach. I like the other seasons, too- but I can’t spend as much time outside in the rest of the seasons and my allergies act up a lot in the spring and fall.

Jess: Undoubtedly, Fall- but I also find the transition from spring into summer to be amazing!

4.  If money were not an issue, what present would you give yourself?

Stephanie: I would give myself a trip around the world. I love to travel and have travelled across the United States 3 times. I have seen all but 4 of the states.  I have travelled out of the country as well, but not to very many places. I would LOVE to get to spend time visiting every country and checking out all that this amazing planet has to offer.

Jess: A complete spa day and a horse.

5. Do you buy second-hand books, new books or both?

Stephanie: Both!  I love new and used books.

Jess: Both!

6. Early bird or night owl?

Stephanie: Night owl without a doubt. The morning isn’t my friend. I can get a lot done at night!

Jess: Mostly night owl, but lately it seems both.

7. Do you like to read a specific genre? If so, what genre is it?

Stephanie: I tend to read books from all genres.

Jess: I like them all!

8. Who is your favourite literary character of all time?

Stephanie: Harry Potter- I just can’t get enough of that series.

Jess: Morpheus & Death from the Sandman Series.

9. Physical books, E-books or audio books?

Stephanie: I prefer physical books or audio books (if the audio book is read by a good reader).

Jess: Definitely physical books- I love supporting local, independent book sellers! They are so important to our society.

10.  If your life was made into a movie, who would you like to play you?

Stephanie: Hmmm.  That is a good question. I have no clue. I asked my husband and he said Cameron Diaz or Elizabeth Shue.

Jess: Drew Barrymore

11.  Cat person or dog person?

Stephanie: It has varied throughout my life.  My husband is highly allergic to cats and dogs, so I guess now I am more of a fish person.

Jess: Both! Love them all : )
