Follow Friday & TGIF (14)

Q: Let's step away from books for a second and get personal. What T-Shirt slogan best describes you?

"No coffee, No Workee" You guys might think I'm joking. Well, I don't function without coffee. Luckily, I'm not one of those addicts (yet) that drink it from morning til night. But I do drag until I get that first cup of coffee in the morning. Sometimes, I don't feel human until the second cup. Coffee is what gets me through the day. I'm not one of those grouches that you avoid until you see a cup in my hand, but I am one of those people that overlook the most simplest of things because my brain isn't at full speed yet. Me - coffee = Dunce.

Character Envy: If you could be one character from a book, who would you choose & why?

I would love to be Kate Daniels from Ilona Andrew's work. Why? Because she's awesome. She's a tough chick, she can get herself into an awful lot of trouble but always manages to find her way out of it too. Plus, she's got a hot mate. I would totally want to be her just for Curran alone! What I really love about Kate, other than her being a kick butt chick, is that she's got a vulnerable side. She's learned over the course of several books to lean on others and she has such a great growth that is visible when reading through the series. She has great friends who will stick by her through anything and I think that makes her a pretty good character to want to be.

The coffee t-shirt is very appropriate given your blog name.

Rubita said...: I love Kate Daniels, and I love Curran, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to actually be her. She's got things pretty tough, what with her dad wanting to kill her and being seriously injured in nearly every book. Not to mention all the dying that happens around her, and the harm that comes to those that know her.; July 30, 2011 at 11:33 AM
