~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Literary & meme questions asked and answered by yours truly!

What literary heroine do you identify with most?

• Scarlett O’Hara from Gone with the Wind, hands down! My second choice would be Cathy Earnshaw from Wuthering Heights.

Who is your biggest fictional crush?

• Eric Northman from Charlaine Harris’s Southern Vampire Mystery Series or Jamie Fraser from the Outlander Series 

If you could time travel to any place in any era what would it be?

• Victorian London

If you could spend the day with any fictional character, who would it be and what would you do?

• Harry Potter and we would spend the day exploring Hogwarts and attending classes!

What’s the most intimidating book you’ve ever read?

• Anna Karenina because it was so long and had a lot of foreign concepts and old fashion, tedious language, but I ended up loving it.

What book were you nervous to start and why?

• The A Song of Ice and Fire series. They were so long and had a complicated story line, not to mention they were high fantasy. But again, loved them, probably the best series I’ve read.

• I am also putting off reading the Lord of the Rings series for many of the same reasons but I am also worried that I won’t like it as well as ASOIAF.

If you were writing your memoirs, what would you call them?

• Tears, Scars, and Lies

What is your least favorite classic or classic that you could just NOT get into no matter how hard you tried?

E-reader or hard copies?

• Both! Love my iPad but then again nothing beats the feel of paper in your hand.

Best film adaption of a novel?

• If we are looking at straight film adaptions, then I would say Gone with the Wind. If we are including TV adaptions, I would say Game of Thrones does a pretty awesome job as well.

Pick a super natural talent you would like to have.

• Time travel or mind reading.

Favorite general quote:

Beyond myself somewhere I wait for my arrival (Octavio Paz)

Favorite literary quote from a book:
