Thank you Caitlinsternwrites for nominating me for the Real Neat Blog award. This seems like a nice simple one–answer random “either/or” questions, nominate a couple of people, ask a few questions of your own and there you go! Nice and easy people. Here goes :
- Which would you prefer – to never be able to leave your home city, or to never be able to go back to it? Ah, that’s tough, it’s hard to not be able to go back to your home city but I think it would be harder to never leave it. It’s natural to leave and travel really. Yeah, I would prefer to never be able to got back to home than never leave. That sounds really harsh now I’ve said it!
- Would you rather never re-read a book, or only read the ones you have read? (Assume someone could present you with a list of all the books you’ve read over your lifetime.) I’ve reread lots of books – even recently, however, if it was a choice of never reading another new book I’m afraid there would be no more rereadings!
- Would you rather have a dragon, or be a dragon? I would rather have a dragon – that way you have you – and the dragon! Okay, it would be ace to fly and breathe fire – but it would be kind of cool to have a dragon – you could ride anyway, which is flying at the end of the day – and, YOU”D HAVE A DRAGON.
- Which would you choose–to live permanently in a fictional world, or visit as many as you liked but you couldn’t stay more than a few hours? If you’d do the former, which book/series? I think I would have to go for living in a permanent fictional world rather than just stay a few hours. You can’t even see a full City in a few hours after all. I’d just choose a fictional world that was huge – maybe middle earth? Or the Foundation series which isn’t restricted to one planet??
- What book that you’ve read recently would you recommend to everyone? I recently read The Liar’s Key by Mark Lawrence – which is excellent and I would highly recommend. Of course, you would need to read Prince of Fools first – but that would not be a problem as both books are excellent.
- Lisa at Tenacious Reader
- Mogsy at the Bibliosanctum
My Questions:
- Okay, if you had to choose would you sooner travel in a tardis or the Star Ship Enterprise and why.
- If you had to choose someone to rescue you from the jaws of certain death would it be a superhero or a supernatural creature of some description.
- Hot or cold – would you like to sit in the sun relaxing, or do you prefer something a bit more chilled or challenging?
- Cats or dogs (or other) (or neither)- do you have a favourite cat, dog or other animal that you would love to accompany you? Or not?
- Earth or not? If you could choose anywhere in the world or universe to live where would it be?
- If you had to choose between book or e-book, no going back – which would it be??
I hope you can both take part but don’t worry if not – I know you have very busy lives and this is just for fun. 😀 😀

I love it when my books start to arrive! These are some of the books I ordered with the vouchers I received over Christmas (excuse the poor picture quality!):
Dreamers Pool by Juliet Marillier – super excited to pick this one up – everyone is loving it and I got this from a good recommendation right here at The Bibliosanctum.
Defenders by Will McIntosh – couldn’t use my own photo for this because the quality was too bad!! Got this book from a recommendation here at the Little Red Reviewer. *scary covers*

And lastly:
The Bloodbound by Erin Lindsey – and this comes from a recommendation I picked up from Not Yet Read.
Also, and finally, check out this link which Lisa at the Tenacious Reader has put together – a list of anticipated books for 2015. Check it out here! If you think something needs to be added don’t be shy!
