Get to Know the Sci-Fi Reader Tag

I've been very into sci-fi lately, so I thought this tag would be very appropriate to do right now! I found it over at Monstrumology, and this tag was modified by BookswithEmilyFox from the ‘Get to Know the Romance Reader Tag’.

Know Me Better (#4)

I have decided to join Inspired Kathy from I Am A Reader, Not A Writer, in this fun weekly post. Here we take 5 questions from our Author Interview list and answer them in a post. I highly encourage you, my readers, to answer theses long with me. Not only do I want you guys to get to know me better, but it would be great if I got to know my readers better, as well!

Things you’d rather be doing right this moment:

Being out doing something fun, as opposed to studying. That or reading a non-school related book.

Time wasters:

Hmm, can't think of anything, really (My brain must really be fried after all that homework I did! lol)

Books they should make into movies:

• Croak by Gina Damico
• Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
• Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep (!!!)
• Incarnate by Jodi Meadows
• Eve Hallows and the Book of Shrieks by Robert Gray
• Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake (This one would make such a great horror movie!)
• My Fair Godmother (books 1 AND 2) by Janette Rallison
• Ghost Hand by Ripley Patton

It's always a bad idea to ask me to list books about something 'cause I always have these looong lists! lol

Things you wish you knew before getting into nursing school:

That the first quarter in fact, is NOT the hardest. And that things actually DO NOT get easier as they go. From my 2 quarters so far, I fell like I've been lied to, lol. I am hoping, however, that things WILL get easier as I go. 1st quarter was a piece of cake compared to this one! And I've still got 5 quarters to go.......wish me luck!

Games you like to play:

Pfft, like I have time to play, lol. I do like to play games on my free time though:

• Super Mario Bros on Wii
• Thrillville on Wii or PS2
• Uno
• Solitaire
• Brain Age on Nintendo DS

Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Know Me Better (#3)

I have decided to join Inspired Kathy from I Am A Reader, Not A Writer, in this fun weekly post. Here we take 5 questions from our Author Interview list and answer them in a post. I highly encourage you, my readers, to answer theses long with me. Not only do I want you guys to get to know me better, but it would be great if I got to know my readers better, as well!

1. Books You Are Dying to Read:

This question sucks because there are SO many I want to read! Let's see, there's:

• The Rising (Darkness Rising #3) by Kelley Armstrong
• Spartan Frost (Mythos Academy #4.5) Jennifer Estep (!!LOGAN, OhMyGods!!)
• Midnight Frost (Mythos Academy #5) Jennifer Estep
• Unhinged (Splintered, #2) A.G. Howard
• Enchantment (Spellbound, #3) Nikki Jefford
• Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2) Tahereh Mafi
• Ghost Hold (The PSS Chronicles, #2) Ripley Patton
• Anything by Rick Riordan, really
• Clockwiser (Clockwise, #2) Elle Strauss
• Unchosen (The Reaper Diaries, #2) Michele Vail
• With All My Soul (Soul Screamers, #7) Rachel Vincent

And yes I realize some of these have come out already, I just haven't gotten them yet!

2. Foods you wish you could eat and never gain a pound:

Ice cream (I'm eating chocolate ice cream as I write this...it's all the stress, I tell ya! lol), and really, anything sweet that's not good for you! lol

3. Things you have in your purse/bag/wallet now:

• Phone
• Compact mirror
• This lens cleaning wipe for my glasses
• Stray cotton swabs
• Post-it notes and a pen
• Hand sanitizer
• Baby Lips chapstick
• Some papers from the breakfast fundraiser for nursing I went to this morning
• Wallet
• Cassette adapter for my iPod

I'm surprised I didn't find any loose change or stray bobby pins...those are usually all over the place, lol.

4. Movies you never want to see again:

• The Notebook - Ugh, chick flicks....had to watch this one in class one time because of the dementia aspect of it. Never again, I tell ya! These movies are not for me.
• Any of the Twilight movies - It's not that I hate them, per se. But back in the day, when I was a Certified Twilight Freak I watched them SO many FREAKIN' times I am now sick of them! And actually, I have yet to see BD part 2, so that one is the exception.
• Avatar - Did not like this one, and frankly the big, blue alien things freak me out!
• The Nightmare Before Christmas - I love horror movies, but for some reason this one freaks me out! I don't know why, but it does, and I just cant watch it! *shudders*
• Any of the Saw movies -  This is not horror, this is just disgusting! I can't watch these either.

5. Movies you watch over and over again:

• The Avengers (I've already lost count as to how many times I've seen this movie so far this year...I watched it yesterday, though! :D)
• Captain America (Eeep! LOVE him! Was watching this one this morning :))
• Iron Man (1 and 2. LOVE Tony Stark!)
• I've re-watched many of other Marvel movies, as well.
• Devil (I've re-watched this one a couple of times...I love horror movies!)
• Tangled (SO cute!)

Know Me Better (#2)

I have decided to join Inspired Kathy from I Am A Reader, Not A Writer, in this fun weekly post. Here we take 5 questions from our Author Interview list and answer them in a post. I highly encourage you, my readers, to answer theses long with me. Not only do I want you guys to get to know me better, but it would be great if I got to know my readers better, as well!

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

Umm, well, I really like it where I'm living now....right in the smack middle of Washington state. I'd like to travel and explore the world one day, but I think this little town will always be my home.

Favorite Literary Characters?

Oh gosh, I've got too many to count. There's Lex from Croak by Gina Damico; Juliette, Adam, and Kenji from Shatter Me; Gwen, Daphne, and Logan from Mythos Academy; Eve Hollows from the Nightmare series by Robert Gray; Jace and Ethan from the Shifter series by Rachel Vincent; Jace from TMI...and a whole bunch of others!

In your wildest dreams, which author would you love to co-author a book with?

Me? Co-author a book? I don't see that happening any time soon. But if I had to choose one author I'd probably go with Rick Riordan. Love him! And I love mythology :) And his writing is just SO much fun!

Things that bring a smile to your face?

The weirdos that are my brothers. I don't have any kids myself, but I can always count on my 3 younger brothers to make me laugh.

Do you have a favorite saying?

Not really...but I'll go with "Honesty is the best policy."

Know Me Better (#1)

Tell us 5 random things about yourself.

1. I may have a slight obsession with the color purple ;)
2. I am in love with The Avengers! I cannot even tell you how many times I have seen the movies this year alone...lost count after 5. (Also, am watching Captain America as I write this.)
3. I love writing. At the moment I have a few stories in progress that I am writing just for myself. If I am happy with the outcome, in the future I might decide to share them with the world.
4. I love nail polish! I love doing my nails and making them look all pretty and stuff. But since I am a nursing student and they don't allow us to have nail polish while at clinicals, I haven't been able to do them more often *sad face*
5. And I LOVE mythology! Especially Greek mythology! But your probably knew that already ;)

Favorite TV show when you were younger?



Ah, the nostalgia.

Horror or Romance?

I'm all for a little romance, but to be honest with you and myself, I have to go with horror! It's one of my favorite genres!

Book Store or Library?

Um, both? If I've got $ to spend I'll definitely go to the book store, but if I am broke (like now...nursing school does that to ya) the library is my best friend!

What type of movies do you like to watch?

Again, HORROR! I went to watch "Mama" the weekend it came out and OhMyGods was it freaky! Awesome movie, if you're into that kind of thing! I don't know what it is about these kinds of movies, but I just love getting frightened! I think it was in a show where I heard that people like that feeling and all the adrenaline rush, yet you know nothing bad will happen to you because you are in a controlled environment...yep, that sounds like me!
