A huge thanks to everyone who participated! Now, lets roll! 🙂

trulyunplugged asked “what is the best kind of dream you’ve ever had (while you were sleeping, I mean)–can you describe it to us?”  Yes, I can. The best dream I’ve ever had was just a few days ago. I dreamed that I was 11 again, and for some strange reason I was in New York. As in The Battle of New York, with Loki and The Avengers. I managed to get to the top of Avengers Tower, then Stark Tower, and ran into Loki. He seemed a little surprised to see me and was going to throw me when Thor shows up. Loki suddenly decides to use me as a hostage, but being eleven I don’t get whats going on and I keep sassing him and joking around. I woke up before anything else happened. And yes, I do dream about superheros often. 😉

QuirkyVictorian asked “What is your favourite season (a) of the year ( b) of Sherlock?”           I will have to go with A, I’ve never seen Sherlock. My favorite season of the year is Autumn, not too hot, not too cold, it’s perfect!

mark schwartz asked “when you write, do you write in a series of bursts over time or just sit down and the “completed” story just streams out? (editing doesn’t count)” I usually write  bits and pieces, very randomly. As you can imagine, this isn’t very effective.

jessmcombs asked “what do you have planned for the next year of your life? What do you want to accomplish, learn, or forget over the next year?” I’m hoping to publish a short story I’ve been working on, I want to learn how to speak french, and I want to forget seeing my dad without a shirt.

Hermione asked “If you could go anywhere… (and not worry about cost or anything) where would you go? Would you prefer a fictional universe or somewhere here on earth?” Middle-earth. More specifically The Shire, all those fat little hobbits farming, drinking, and talking.

 I would have a heart attack right then and there!!

ihaveabadsenseofhumor asked “What is your biggest fear?”

 An angry Vulcan.

Curlygirlabroad “name three countries you still like to visit” The three countries I’d like to visit, in order-

1. New Zealand
2. Germany
3. and Norway

Again, thanks to all of y’all! Have a great weekend! .)

Reading Challenge Update

Bilbo, books, challenge, goals, lord of the rings, Sherlock, tolkien

I am going to put The Challenge on hold for a while. I recently bought a ton of new books and I just can’t focus on the books I chose. So what are these new books, and how can they be so amazing that I can hardly put them down? We~ell, I’ll tell you and you can judge whether or not their worth it-

1. The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien
2. Unfinished Tales by J. R. R. Tolkien
3. The Lord of The Rings The Fellowship of The Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien
4. About ten to fifteen Hardy Boys books
5. Twenty to thirty Nancy Drew books

And I saved the best for last!

I GOT THE GREATEST ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES!!! IN HARD-BACK!!!!!

I spent 32 dollars on four books, and it was sooooooooo worth it! All 4 novels and 44 out of 56 short stories. And the cover is EPIC! The other three books are the two at the top of the list above, and a separate paper-back version of The Hound of The Baskervilles.

I got them from Barnes and Noble, here are the prices. In case any of y’all would like to get them, (not sure if the prices are different at the different stores)-

The Sherlock Holmes book was $7.98

The Silmarillion was $8.99

Unfinished Tales was $7.99

The Hound of Baskervilles was around five or six, I don’t have it with me at the moment.

As for The Fellowship of The Ring, the Hardy Boys, and Nancy Drew, I got them at thrift stores we visit quite often.

Another thing, I am doing NaNoWriMo this month, and while I was working on my project, called The Beast (not permanent), I thought up three new plot bunnies. WISH ME LUCK WITH THEM!!! .)

Epic Reads Tag

Peoples, ok listen up.

Found this tag at, where else, (Over)Analysing Literature. Her answers were so great, you have to read them for yourself! I sure hope I’m not getting annoying with these things. But even if I was, I’m gonna keep doing them! .)

If you could invite one author and one of their fictional characters to lunch, who would you invite and what would you serve them?

I would LOVE to have lunch with Tolkien and Bilbo. I would ask all kinds of questions about writing! And I would serve crawfish and french fries. (I’m American all right!)

What book do you wish the author would write a prequel for?

A study In Scarlet. I want to know about Holmes’ youth so bad! I don’t lose sleep over it though….

Which two characters (not from the same book) would make a good couple?

I have never done this before, I normally just say what song matches the characters life. I really don’t have anything here.

If you ran into your favorite author on the subway and could only say one sentence to them, who is it and what would it be?

Arthur Conan Doyle, and I would say this-

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

What book made you a reader and why?

It wasn’t a book that made me love reading, it was acually part of a movie. The end of LOTR The Fellowship of The Ring, where Frodo and Sam were paddling away in the boat. That was the first I had ever heard of it. I asked my uncle what movie it was, cause everyone was watching it, and he looked at me, then at my perants, like we were crazy. He told me, and said it was based on a book. That did it, if a book could make such an awesome movie, I wanted to read them.

Your bookshelf just caught fire, show the book you’d save.

It really depends on what book I’m reading. I hate reading part of a book, then something happens to it, and I have to get a new one that is a completely different version. So, what ever book I am reading, thats the one I’d grab. .)

Which dystopian world would you want to live in if you had to choose one? Why?

I no know….

Thats what the younger kids in my family say for “I don’t know” .)

What is your most epic read of all time?

The Hound of The Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

 

Thanks for reading guys! If you want to, go ahead and do it. Just leave me a comment when your done!

Later y’all!!!! .)

Hey! Guess what! I’ve been blogging for TWO YEARS already, and I’m turning 16 on August 12. So, how will we celebrate? With an amazing Q/A post on my birthday! If you have any questions for me head here. Last year I got some pretty amazing questions, I would love to have even better ones this time around. They can be serious, goofy, or somewhere in between! Come on, I’m really looking forward to it!
