Jaynie’s Questions:

1: If you could live in the world of any book for one day, which would you choose?

Ooh, this is a tough one! I’m going to be super basic though, and choose the world of Harry Potter. It would just be the greatest thing to go to Hogwarts, stroll through Hogsmeade, shop in Diagon Alley, etc 🙂 Hufflepuffs unite!!

2: Have you had the opportunity to meet any of your favorite authors? If so, what was the experience like?

I actually have!! I have met both Tamera Alexander and Deborah Harkness! They were both so nice! I got autographs from both, and got to take pictures!

 

3: Which sidekick character in a book would you love to have as a friend?

I have a hard time choosing between these two, so I will say both Hermione from Harry Potter and Felicity from A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue! I love books and learning, so we would have so much to talk about!

4: What is the best book recommendation you have ever received? Who recommended the book to you?

I have several! Uprooted by Naomi Novik was given to me by my sister and recommended to me by my husband. The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness was recommended to me by my friend Jessica. All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr was a book club pick.

5: What is your favorite film adaption of a book?

I have always had a special place in my heart for the 1993 version of The Secret Garden. The one with Maggie Smith in it. It is so good!! And the soundtrack is magical!

6: If your favorite book had a soundtrack, what would be three songs on that soundtrack?

Fun!! I’m going to go with a soundtrack for Winter of Fire by Sherryl Jordan!!

1: Fire Meet Gasoline by Sia

2: Run the World (Girls) by Beyonce

3: Winter Light by Linda Ronstadt

7: Have you ever been part of a book club, virtual or otherwise?

Yes! I’ve been part of quite a few book clubs in the past. Right now I am part of one that I run out of the bookstore where I work. I have never been part of a virtual book club though, and I think that sounds like fun!

8: If a friend was looking for a good book to read on a long flight, which book would you recommend?

I think I would recommend Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. It is super long, but one that will suck you into the world and will certainly fill your long flight!

9: If you had the ability to pair up two of your favorite authors to collaborate on a book, which authors would you choose?

I think Jenny Colgan and Shannon Hale would be a fun combo! I can see their styles blending nicely!

10: Do you have a favorite reading spot, like a cozy nook or an especially comfy chair?

I tend to read in my office, either in my desk chair or in my comfy arm chair. I also read in bed a lot.

11: If you could drop a character from one of your favorite books into another book, which character would you choose and into which book would you place them?

I think I would take Lady Emily from the Lady Emily series by Tasha Alexander and drop her into Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. I feel like she would be super helpful in solving the mystery and potentially save the MC a lot of grief!
