The Real Neat Blog Award!

Mucho gracias to Amy at Curiouser and Curiouser for nominating us! (This has definitely been long over due!) Check out her incredibly interesting blog 😀

1. Who is your favourite book/film/tv show character?

F: Leo Valdez hands down. And Percy. And Nine from Lorien Legacies. (A lot of people find him annoying but sometimes he’s just hilarious… and I too am sensing a pattern here. All of these three are the comic relief in action-y books.) Shahrzad (The Wrath and the Dawn) is also a great heroine.

S: Ummm… Cinder? Percy? Agnieszka? Humourous people in general? Am I allowed to list them by genre or book (and would you guys be willing to read a mile of writing)?

2. If you could choose to meet any famous person (alive or dead), who would you choose and why?

F: I’d meet poet Sarah Kay because her work inspires me to write and she does word play like some people play chess. 😉

S: JK Rowling because she WROTE HARRY POTTER, one of the most defining books of the past 2 and present 2 generations.

Elizabeth the Second? (Who am I kidding, I’m not even British.)

3. Are you a Harry Potter fan? Be honest.

F: I think we’ve established that I haven’t read enough of the books to be a legitimate hardcore fan. But I think I would be if I did finish the series. Right? There’s a lot of peer pressure though… (haha)

S: UM YES. YES YES YES YES. I even managed to infect some of my other friends into even more hardcore fans. For some reason, Faith seems immune ~ I’m still working on infecting her 😛

Did I mention how much I love her?

4. If you could live in any time period which would you choose?

F: I believe in living in the present because there’s truly none like this one. Also because the future scares me… and so does the past. That’s why the present is well, a present to us. Accept it and make it fantastic!

S: PREACH. Although, even now seems scary… can I pick a book universe instead?

5. E-readers or physical books?

F: Physical books for sure. There’s something about the fresh smell of a book’s new interior, the feel of the smooth cover, and the turn of a crisp page. It’s all (literally) in the package.

S: FAITH STOP COPYING MY (FUTURE) ANSWERS. (F: Haha watch me.) Yeah, physical copies because they hurt my eyes less. No dry eyes, no glare and no optometrist telling me not to read e-books

6. What’s the last film you went to see at the cinema?

F: (This response applies to the time that I had wrote this. Which was a century ago…) Paper Towns. It was pretty good. I think it’s pretty much equivalent to the book; either way my favourite part of the story is the beginning when Margo and Q ensues on a 9 part adventure. Love that.

S: American Ultra. (Kristen Stewart + Jesse Eisenburg) x Action = SO AWESOME AND GORY!!! Not for the faint of heart, or people who don’t like swearing or drugs. Totally not-believable (but based on a true story where the CIA tried to make better operatives using LSD). Very amusing (if you have my weird sense of humor).

7. Where do you see yourself in 5 years time? What would your ideal life be like?

F: In 5 years I will hopefully have just finished my first years at university and have read a couple more life inspiring books and have done some cool risk taking things. I would like to have mornings where I just wake up in no rush, read & write with a cup of tea, and spend some time outdoors taking some great photos. I honestly wouldn’t know what my ultimate ideal life would be so I’ll just go where it leads me, I guess.

S: Knowing myself, I’ll still be reading books… (hopefully) graduated from Uni… a job in Computer Science (GOOGLE HIRE ME ALREADY…please 😉 ). Still blogging 🙂 My ideal life? Being paid to read and possibly have published my own book (Hey, a girl can dream).
