Liebster Blog Award ~ Thank You Abbi!

First of all,  a big "thank you" to Abbi from Christian Novels for passing on this lovely award to me! This a real cool award because it is given to those who have less than 200 followers, and the word "leibster" means "sweetheart" in German.  Thank you, Abbi!


Here are the rules:
1. Each person must post 10 facts about themselves
2. Answer 10 questions the tagger has given you and give 10 questions for the people you’ve tagged.
3. Choose 10 people and link them in your post.
4. Tell them you’ve tagged them.
5. Remember, no tag backs.



My 10 Things:
1. I'm really bad at thinking up witty Facebook statuses.
2. I real life I'm kinda shy and have with a slight lisp. 
3. I can talk for 3 hours straight about books of almost any kind.
4. I'm not from Wyoming, and I don't live there, but I love the state of Wyoming!
5. I like watching British mini-series, and I really like ones that are intriguing and super clean, but kinda creepy. And I love Downton Abbey, A&E/BBC's Lorna Doone, Horatio Hornblower ( with Ioan Gruffudd), Little Dorrit, Merlin, and so many more! 
She's kinda scruffy in this picture!
6. I don't like parties for myself, I like attending parties for others though!
7. I think that Facebook has mysterious vortex powers that suck you in.
8. I think politics are fascinating.
9. I usually get the job of bathing and giving the family dog a haircut.
10. And I like to go swimming every week day :)




Abbi's Questions:
1. What is one of the best books you've read so far in 2012? Wonderland Creek by Lynn Austin & The Secret Keeper by Sandra Byrd.
2. What is your favorite genre? Christian Historical. Doesn't have to be a romance to make me happy :)
3. What is one author whose signature you REALLY want? Gilbert Morris! I want him to sign all 97 of the books I own by him...lol, just one would be great!
4. Do you write a journal? No, but I blog :)
5. How many books to you have that you haven't read? Too many to count. Hmm, I would estimate over a hundred and growing.
6. What country do you want to visit/revisit? I would love to visit Australia, or France.
7. Would you rather instantaneously receive any book you want for the rest of your life and live paycheck to paycheck or have an endless supply of money but not allowed to read ever again? I have never been rich in my life, so I would love to get great books, and then just put my skills of thriftiness to work! 
8. Early bird or Night owl? Early bird who wants to be a night owl.
9. Tea of Coffee? Neither. Milk!
10. A great movie quote? "No more rhymes, I mean it!" "Hey, anybody want a peanut?" ~ Princess Bride

  3. Glad you liked it! I almost squealed when I saw that someone had awarded me this one!
    I have been hearing so many good things about Wonderland Creek and I really should get around to reading it!
    Your questions are really cool and I wanted to answer them too, so here are my answers!

    What kind of book would just totally put you to sleep?
    Books that are information overloads tend to tire my brain but it takes me so long to fall asleep that no book actually knocks me out (unless someone hits me with one!)

    If you were to name a fictional couple in a story, what would be their names? Why?
    Shiloh Pierce and Abrielle(Abri) Raven-I like looking through name books and Abrielle and Shiloh are ones that are really unique and cool. The last names are random!

    If you could meet one past political leader, who would it be, and what would you tell them?
    George Washington. I would thank him for all that he did to found our country then apologize for how badly we messed it up!

    If you could have one superpower what would it be?
    Teleporting

    Do you like British TV?
    What little I've seen!

    If you could make one book into a movie, what would it be? Granted that it isn't a movie already.
    The River of Time Series!

    If you could meet one fictional character, who would it be?
    Luca Forelli from River of Time!

    How do you think that you would be portrayed in a novel?
    I have no clue! Good luck to anyone who tries!

    What is the most exciting thing that you are doing or have done this summer?
    Not much. Our summers are really low-key.

    Is there anything you like to do at the same time that you are reading a book?
    Not really!
