Pretty sure I’ve picked at least one book that each of my bookish friends loves….

(2) What is your favourite paranormal/mythical creature to read about?

Mythical creature… a feminist male???????????

BAHAHAHA I kid, I kid… kinda…

I love reading about any sort of Greek mythology so think centaurs, minotaurs, nymphs etc.

(3) Age old question: coffee or tea?

Tea. Coffee is disgusting and is not allowed in my kitchen!

(4) What is your favourite reading season?

From January to the end of Summer… (basically I get slumpy through Autumn!!)

(5) What about a book inspires you to pick it up?

A captivating blurb…. but realistically if I’ve never heard of it and am browsing in a bookshop or library then it needs a good title on the spine and/or a gorgeous cover!

(6) Who is your favourite musician?

John Mayer

(7) What would your perfect day consist of you doing?

I would wake up in no pain and with boundless energy. That would be perfect.

Then I would do simple things like making a nice breakfast for everyone, pancakes most likely. And then make a packed lunch and head off into the mountains for some gentle hiking with everyone (dogs included). That evening there would be a tasty meal out at a dog-friendly, cosy pub followed by a fun quiz and a sing-song. Then home to bed.

(8) What’s a hobby (besides reading) that you love to do and couldn’t live without?

Is it terrible to say watching TV……

(9) Do you have any quirky talents?

I don’t think there’s anything truly quirky about me!! Any talents I do have are quite regular; I sing a bit, can knit and sew a bit, can cook a bit… basically I am a jack-of-all-trades type person.

(10) What is something that instantly makes you happy?

Dogs. Petting them, playing with them, cosying up on the couch with them… but especially my own poocherino!
