"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered.” (The Wind in the Willows)

Study break... :)

I found these on a blog somewhere and enjoyed answering them, so I thought I would share. :)

questions for a bookworm
  1. imagine you sit in front of a fireplace. you read and beside you there is a cup with something hot in it. what would that be in your case: tea, coffee or hot chocolate?   It could be any of the three, but I'll go with hot chocolate. :)
  2. if an author gave you the chance to rewrite or to change the fate of a book character, who would you chose? Hmm...Dustfinger from Inkheart comes to mind, but I can't remember how the story ends, so I think it might have ended happily for him.  I don't remember.  
  3. did your parents read stories to you when you were little? if yes are there any special ones you remember the most? I remember my dad reading stories to my sisters and I when we were little.  Our family liked to work on puzzles, so dad would read to us while we did that. The Chronicles of Narnia inspire the most fond memories, just because they are such wonderful stories.  But we also read Ben Hur, Moby Dick, and others. 
  4. what do you like more the smell of old antiquarian books or the smell of new fresh ones you just bought?  The smell of old antiquarian books, for sure.  :)  
  5. you get the opportunity to chose between to secret talents: either to be able to make things come to life through reading them or the gift to read yourself into a book. which one would you like to have?  I would love to be able to read myself into a book.  That would be so cool/wonderful!!!!!
  6. do you have a favorite children’s book or a favorite fairy tale? Hmm...my favorite fairy tale would probably be either Rapunzel or Beauty & the Beast.  Or Snow White & Rose Red.  Okay, maybe I don't have a favorite; I like a lot of them! 
  7. someone would talk to your friends and ask them to compare you to a book character. with who do you think would they compare you?  I don't know...maybe Blanche from the Fairy Tale Novels.  Or some character who loves animals.  
  8. tell me the name of a writer who you would like to have as a friend. G.K. CHESTERTON!  
  9. you can hide in a written down world for only one night into which world do you escape?  Hobbiton, the Shire.  Or Rivendell.  :) 
  10. something terrible happens: you have to flee to an unknown place and all you can take with you are three books of all the ones you own. which three ones do you put into your bag?  The Bible, The Ballad of the White Horse, and The Chronicles of Narnia.
