1. If you could live anywhere in the world, with money being no object and with your friends and family happily moving with you, where would you settle?

- Probably somewhere in either Tuscany, Italy or Normandy, France.

2. What is an obscure book, film, or television series that you wish more people knew and loved?

- Press Gang this show was so ahead if its time and it has every genre element you could hope for in a 45 minute show.

3. Who are five of your favorite musical artists at the moment?

- As always, my top 3 are Sarah Brightman, Celine Dion and Josh Groban. I also love Andrea Bocelli and I've just gotten introduced to Chris Mann.

4. Do you prefer to travel by car or by plane for longer trips?

- I've never traveled by plane, so it would have to be car.

5. Are there any classic authors whom you feel are overrated?

- Oh, that's tough. Maybe Jane Austen? I've tried reading her works, but they just don't click with me.

6. What is your favorite holiday and why?

- Easter. I love the simplicity and joy that always come from Easter.

7. Do you prefer warmer or cooler temperatures?

- I actually enjoy them both, but given where I live, cooler temperatures are preferable. 

8. What are some skills or hobbies that you don't have but wish you did?

- I would love to learn how to draw and dance.

- Otters

  1. I enjoyed reading your answers!

    Your comments on Press Gang intrigued me and I then went and read your review. It sounds like a really interesting show! I may have to start watching it.

    Also, very glad I'm not the only classics-lover who is underwhelmed by Austen's writing. I like her stories and love the film adaptations, but her novels are generally not my favorite. Hmm. Maybe I should write a deep dive into why . . .

    Thanks for accepting the award! :D

    1. Thanks for nominating me! It's been ages since I've done any tags! Press Gang is an absolute gem. The late 80s/early 90s nostalgia alone is awesome to watch.

      I always feel like I'm less of a classical book lover if I say I dislike Austen, but she's just too wordy for me and it takes her forever to get to the point.

Thank you for your comments : )

I love getting comments, long or short, whether you agree with me or not. .

Just be kind. I don't tolerate any rudeness at all. So just be careful with what you write and how you write it.
