"Names are significant, Miss Alder. They shape - to some degree, they even dictate - the people we become." The Precious Dreadful - Steven Parlato • What is one (or more) of your favourite literary character names? • Personally, I love Cimorene from The Enchanted Forest Chronicles although I know I am forever pronouncing it wrong in my head. I believe fantasy names are always among my favourites!

Has a spoiler (be it via a fellow reader or adaptation of book to screen) ever actually spoiled you from wanting to read a book? • Oh it has happened to me and most notably with Anne of Green Gables. I remember watching the TV adaptation when I was younger with my sister who loved the series and show almost just as much. • I don't want to spoil it as much as possible for any other readers, but I have an extremely difficult times dealing with loss real or fictional and I want to read the series I just need to find a way to guard my heart in the process.

What is the first sentence in your current read? • “The first person I met in England was a hallucination.” The Alice Network - Kate Quinn • I’m so glad I share a love of WWII historical fiction with my eldest sister @rrsimonsen It means I get to read her copy when she is finished (and sends it off in the mail to me). Thanks lovely!

I love how in our literary world a book can be so subjective to every reader. What book have you heard mixed reviews on but loved yourself? • You see me mention (like a broken record) a few of my favourites authors on here. Mary Balogh is one of them. Her Someone to... series has been one of my all time favourites. The fifth book Someone to Trust finally featured my favourite character from the previous books Elizabeth and I was so excited to get to read her story. But was puzzled when I happened upon some of the reviews for it. Not everyone felt the same and the first thing I wanted to do was ask them which book had been their favourite so far or which character did they want to be featured next?!

After being recommended to you, has someone else’s favourite book become one of yours? • The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society has joined my top five (soon to be top 6,7,8,9,10) 😂 after it was recommended to me by one of the lovely women in my book club. • I was tagged by the stunning @books_mccoy to do the #gettingreadytimebooktag ☕️Coffee (book you wake up wanting to read): Jane Eyre 🍫Breakfast in Bed (book that was an unexpected surprise): Life after Life is becoming an unexpected surprise 🚿Shower (book that cleanses you): anything by Mary Balogh 🚰Toothpaste (fresh and exciting book): The Gods Who Harvested Men ❤️Makeup (book with a pretty cover): The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society 🧥Outfit (book that makes you complete): Persuasion

Tell me about something that makes you freeze. Be it speaking in front of crowds, trying to describe your favourite book, etc. • My book club book is keeping me company on my way to a Writers’ Hub (expo style event) where I am going to learn more about the publishers in my province. I’ve been practicing my novel pitch but a few words in I always find my brain blanking. I don’t know why I freeze when explaining it. I wrote the thing for goodness sake. 🤦🏻‍♀️ •

Tell me about some of your favourite things? Be they a book, piece of clothing, or a favourite brooch and a bit about why you’ve fallen for them. • I have LOVED overalls/dungarees since I was a tiny thing. And that love has reemerged in my adulthood with these dungarees from @lucyandyak They have become known as my bookclub outfit since I often stash the book in the front pocket. • I often pair it with this shirt because I’ve never loved a printed tee more as it reads “New York Downtown stories about fictional romances”. #yakmirrorselfiemonday

You know you’re in a book slump when one of your favourite books can’t even pull you out. • What do you do to claw your way out of a reading slump? • I am trying to take a page out of the lovely @beethebookexplorer and am going to switch up genres and/or dive back into a beloved series. • @books_mccoy tagged me to do the #top5disneymoviestag and I have been undecided over it! Eeeeeeeep in no particular order: 1. Beauty and the Beast 2. Tangled 3. Frozen 4. 101 Dalmatians 5. The Great Mouse Detective

If you could give out an award for best supporting character in a novel who would be your winner? • I often love supporting characters more than the main characters themselves. I definitely love writing them. • I would choose Dr. Fried from I Never Promised You a Rose Garden as she was the psychiatrist I wish I could have had when I was going through my adolescent depression. For a short period of time I had the opportunity to speak with a psychologist who really helped me and I can only imagine what could of been if he had not moved to another city. • I’m way behind in my tags but finally with a new post I can do #lastfivereads as I was tagged by the lovely @defy_the_books 1. Find You In The Dark 2. They May Not Mean To, But They Do 3. Sadie. 4. The Gods Who Harvested Men 5. Someone to Wed
