Give them 11 questions of your own

Erica’s Questions:

1) What was the first book that you really loved?

The Necklace of Raindrops. I remember reading it at around six years of age when anything seemed possible.

2) Hardback? Paperback? Ebook? What is your style?

I prefer hardbacks when it comes to physical books but ereader is the most convenient way to read anytime anywhere.

3) Which author (dead or alive) would you want to be trapped in an elevator with for 24 hours? (I don’t mean dead in the elevator with you!)

So many! However, anyone who is calm and not claustrophobic and writes psychological horror would suffice.

4) Do you dare to draw/write/doodle in your book margins?

Hell, no! I have books made for doodling etc which I use appropriately.

5) What made you start blogging?

I kept reading more and more books I wanted to tell book friends about and found it easier to keep track and spread the word via blog. 

6) What’s a book that you didn’t like but couldn’t stop reading because it was such an amusing/fun-to-hate train wreck? (If you’ve never had this experience, then simply what is the worst book you’ve ever suffered through?)

I rarely give up on a book but I think the sequel The Blake Curse by IC Camillieri was a huge disappointment after I loved the first book, The Blake Soul, so much. I kept reading hoping I’d like it better.

7) If you could live in a book, TV show or movie, which would it be?

I’d love to live in Twilight as a vampire who would never have to primp and make up my face again. 

8) The Doctor comes and takes you away with him in the TARDIS. You get to pick the destination! Where do you go and why?

1980 Calcutta, India. Good memories. 

9) Is there a book or series that you are so passionate about that you have ended up in fights over (not physical fights, hopefully)

I have had to defend my fondness for Daughter by Jane Shemilt, which often divides opinion among readers because of its ending. I thought the ending was chillingly appropriate.

10) What character(s) from a book do you wish were real?

Vampires and Werewolves but only because they can’t be. 

11) What is your favourite quote?
