Follow Friday and Book Blogger Hop (9)

This week's question: It's circle time! Time for us to open up and share. Can you tell us FIVE quirky habits or things about you? We all have them...

Answer:

1) I still have my baby blanket that I've had since I was born and I sleep with it every night. The crazy thing is, it doesn't embarrass me at all that people know. But it is weird as I assume most people DON'T do this (haha), so there ya go.

2) I'm better at video games than ALMOST any guy I know. And I'm VERY proud of that fact! Most guys get pretty mad when I beat them...oh well, they'll get over it ("Anything you can do, I can do better...")

3) I'm super scared of being home along at night. Which is every night, since my husband works 3rd shift. Well, I have my 3 year old son with me, but I doubt he's going to be much help against a crazed psycho killer with a machete. I think maybe it's all of the crazy books I read, makes my imagination WAY too vivid!

4) Sometimes I think about things in the world that we don't know about. And deep down I hope that things like vampires, werewolves, faeries, etc. really exist. I mean, in the books they're so secretive most of the time that humans don't even know they're there. So that could happen in real life, right? I said right? Hello, anyone with me.....?

5) I am VERY particular about my books. I have a really hard time getting rid of any of them (and I haven't for quite a while). But the quirky thing is how good of care I take of my books. I don't bend a single page or mar the cover. When I get done reading a book, you won't even be able to tell I opened it. I like to keep them looking like new, because I really treasure each and every one of my books and I get kinda mad when a cover gets bent or a page gets stained or ripped. This makes loaning books to anyone extremely difficult...I only trust a small few. Am I alone in this?

This week's question: If you were given the chance to spend one day in a fictional world (from a book), which book would it be from and what place would that be?

Answer: I had to think a while about this one. I'm going to have to go with the world from the Anita Blake vampire hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton. Specifically, Jean Claude's place beneath the Circus of the Damned. Who wouldn't want to go there for a day? Be surrounded by hot guys, especially Jean Claude - he's always been my favorite! Then he wouldn't have to put up with Anita's crap, at least for a day. I also wouldn't mind getting close to Asher...or Jason...or Richard...well the list goes on. With as many near-death experiences as Anita has I wouldn't want to spend too much time there, but one day would be SO nice.
