Sophie’s Questions

Would you prefer to have a job you loved and earn less or one you hated but earned more?

Job I loved and earned less. Currently where I’m at right now. XD The field I’m in doesn’t really guarantee a lot, lot of money, so I definitely know that I’ll be loving my job.

If you could bring one extinct animal back, what would it be?

Sophie, you really stumped me on this one. XD Wait…the dodo! It’s a bird, but I’m sure it counts, right? It just always seemed so magical as a kid…although I feel like it would be kind of a mean bird?

Snow White probably would not appreciate that big of a bird doing her housework.

What’s more appealing to you, living in a past era or in the future?

Since I’m currently addicted to Simone St. James novels which are all set in the 1920s, I would probably say 1920s. And it seems every time I read about the future, there is some crazy technology that is trying to take over my brain. I would like to keep my brain, thank you very much. I have far too many Princess thoughts left to think about.

Do you usually go for the painful truth or blissful ignorance?

Somewhere in the middle? I like to know things, but then totally complain about how much I didn’t want to know about the truth after the fact. So, yes, somewhere in the terrible middle.

Do you have any weird habits that freak everyone out?

Okay, perhaps, not freak people out but definitely annoy people. I have this chewing there, where I can’t stand the sound of other people’s chewing. Some people are totally fine, but there are a few certain people that I literally cannot stand to hear them chew, and it drives me – and them – insane.

Do you usually wear bright clothes or neutral ones?

Bright colors…mostly people most of the Princesses are in bright colors so…yes. Lame reason, but it works.

If you had to see through tinted lenses for the rest of life, what color would they be?

Rose? 😉 Well, actually, I did have those pink sunglasses that everyone in the early 2000s were always wearing, and they weren’t terrible…maybe in fashion, but not the tint.

Do you trust your instincts/are impulsive or do you prefer to calmly examine the situation before you?

Carefully examine, for sure. I definitely am an overthinker…sometimes far too much of one, so I definitely don’t do much of anything on impulse.

If you had to choose to live with only two senses, which would they be? (Touch, smell, taste, sight…)

Probably sight and sound. That way I can read and…hear people? XD But mostly focusing on my reading. Priorities.

When someone says you can’t do something, do you go and do it just to prove them wrong or do you just ignore them?

Ignore them for the most part.

Would you go on the Mars One mission, a once in a lifetime experience, even if it meant never returning to Earth and never seeing your loved ones again?

Noooooooooo. Space scares me. I think I’ve watch far too many space movies and now after reading the Illuminae series, I don’t think I’ll ever have any desire to see or be in space. My Book Princess butt is staying on ground. Well, ground ground.

10. And last but not least, what do you think your favorite book of 2017 will be?

I would like to thank Sophie so much again for the nomination, and really do go check out her blog because it is fantastic! I tried to look for people that hadn’t been nominated for the award before, and there were so many deserving bloggers out there that I might have missed you! ❤ And as always, please don’t feel like you have to do it if I’ve tagged you!

Also, do you ever do something that seems really, really smart and fun at the time and then you look back and what was just a quick jaunt through Netgalley now has 4 new books for you to read that all come out within the next two months when you had just gotten your rating up to 80%? Don’t get me wrong, I’m so thankful for the ARCS, but oh my stars, I was full on not prepared for this madness. D: I guess I’ll be changing my February TBR around. XD
