Know Me Better (7)

Know Me Better is a weekly meme hosted by I Am a Reader, Not a Writer.

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
Ally: Ireland. I want to go back to my roots.
Lee: New York City. I really miss living there.

Favorite Literary Characters?
Ally: Will Herondale, Jem Carstairs, Ronan Lynch, Valek, Adrian Ivashkov, Sirius Black, Jaime Lannister, Arya Stark.
Lee: Elizabeth Bennet, Fitzwilliam Darcy, Anne Elliot, Frederick Wentworth, John Thornton, Will Herondale, Jem Carstairs.

In your wildest dreams, which author would you love to co-author a book with?
Ally: J. K. Rowling. I'd love to hear some of her ideas.
Lee: Jane Austen. I just think she was a genius.

Things that bring a smile to your face?
Ally: My puppy, Tyler.
Lee: Ally and her siblings, Melissa and Denis, are the funniest people I know. When I'm feeling down, they always know the right thing to say to cheer me up.

Do you have a favorite saying?
Ally: I say, "Stop giggling, Cosette" to my brother Denis all the time. It's in reference to Les Miz.
Lee: I'm a big fan of Game of Thrones, both the book and the TV show, and I use "You know nothing Jon Snow" frequently in conversation.

  2. It would be amazing to co-author with J.K. Rowling. I've only seen half of the first season of Game of Thrones before we lost HBO. Makes me a sad panda :(

    1. I could go either way really, Ireland or New York. Ireland just seems much more free!

  4. I would love to see Ireland too, it seems like it would be so beautiful. NYC would be a great pic for the MET that I would love to visit. Sounds like you both love The Infernal Devices. I haven't read that one yet, only the Mortal Instruments. I love both your choices for the author picks :D Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven

    1. I'm glad that we were able to list several characters; if I'd had to choose one, I wouldn't have been able to!

  8. Yay! Ireland! I think it's cool that you have Irish blood. I'd love to quote books all of the time but I know they'll look at me like I'm crazy, especially if they don't understand why lol

    1. We quote books a lot, and we do get weird looks most of the time, but we do it anyway, lol.
