Shout out to JJ of This Dark Material for nominating me for the Sunshine Blogger Award! I’m so excited to be taking part in this and I absolutely loved all of her questions!

Let’s dive in!

The Sunshine Blogger Award

The Rules:

• Thank the person who nominated you in a blog post and link back to their blog.
• Answer the 11 questions sent by the person who nominated you.
• Nominate 11 new blogs to receive the award and write them 11 new questions.
• List the rules and display the Sunshine Blogger Award logo in your post and/or on your blog.

The questions I was asked:

1. You have the opportunity to ask your favorite author one question, and they have to tell the truth. Which author do you choose and what do you ask them?
Michael Crichton. My question would be, were there ever alternative endings to any of your books that you almost used rather than the endings that were published?

2. What is one book you hid from your parents when you were younger?
Oh! What an interesting question! I don’t believe I ever hid a book from my parents. They were always super cool about whatever I wanted to read.

3. If you could try the cuisine of any fictional world, which one would you choose?
ANY of the pastries and sugary treats from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, for sure!

4. Who is your favorite fictional detective?
I’ve been loving Aaron Falk from the series by Jane Harper.

5. Which Winnie the Pooh character are you most similar to?
Ha! What a great question. I used to think I was a lot like Eeyore, especially in high school. Now I’m more like Pooh; bring on all the snacks! I’m also far too trusting of everyone.

6. What ‘accessories’ do you need with you when you read (drink, blanket, music, etc.)?
A cup of tea, tab-style sticky notes, and a comfy seat.

7. What is one book you read just because you liked the cover?
Bonfire by Krysten Ritter.

8. Which fictional character do you wish would “write” a memoir?
Oh my goodness. I’ve been typing out names and backspacing to replace the name over and over. I think I will finally go with Emma Bloom from the Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children series. I think it would be so interesting to learn more about their world before the loop was formed as well as the first couple of years inside the loop.

9. What is your favorite animated movie not made by Disney?
Kubo and the Two Strings! If you haven’t seen this one yet, go check it out immediately!!

10. Pencil or pen?
Pen, for some reason I feel like my handwriting looks extra sloppy in pencil.

11. Polka dots or stripes?
Stripes! I’m a total sucker for stripes 🙂
