Hamlette's Sunshine Blogger Award Questions:
Katherine's Answers will be in Purple and Grace's will be in GREEN
ROUND ONE
1. Fantasy or sci-fi?
This is a tough question because I really am not a big fan of either of these genres, but let me think about this!
Fantasy... but not if it has ALOT of magic in it...hmmm, actually I haven't had too much experience with either genre...you know I'm not sure...HELP!
2. Tragedy or comedy?
Comedy! I do enjoy tragedies now and again, but for the most part I want things to stay happy! :) (Grace will back me up on this)
Both are wonderful, but comedy is best!
3. Fiction or nonfiction?
Fiction! I do like non-fiction (Let's Roll by Lisa Beamer is a favorite of mine), but the majority of what I like to read is fiction, I'll confess. What are some of your favorite non-fiction titles??
I enjoy both, but I do consume more fiction than nonfiction.
4. Snow or rain?
Oh, I love both, how can I choose?....Ok, fine rain! Rain is one of the most beautiful things of all God's creation! A rainy day makes me want to bake and get the house all warm and cozy with the smell of muffins or cookies wafting from the oven. :) And it's also the most romantic weather. I mean, filmmakers/writers have totally banked on this fact! Have you not seen Sense and Sensibility??
Rain! There is nothing more romantic and pretty than a good rainfall! Snow is, as a friend of mine put it, "Pretty, but impractical"! That aside, I am always ready to sign up for sledding or a snowball fight!
5. Orange juice or apple juice?
Orange juice! I LOVE orange juice!
OJ all the way!
6. Christmas or Easter?
I actually don't celebrate Christmas or Easter, but I do celebrate Hanukkah and Passover, so out of those two, I think I'd pick Hanukkah! It's such a cozy time of year (Hanukkah occurs right around Christmas in December), with the snow, and I love frying keglies (doughnuts), and lighting the Hanukkiah with my family!
I'll second Hanukkah! Nothing beats gathering around the table with family and friends to light the Hanukkiah , sing songs, eat donuts and play dreidle.
7. Middle-earth or Narnia?
I'll pick Narnia as I really like C.S. Lewis. I never much got into Narnia or Lord of the Rings as I don't appreciate the magical aspects of the story. But growing up, we used to listen to Focus on the Family's dramatization of The Horse and His Boy which I did enjoy.
Again, I second Katherine's love of C.S. Lewis, but I don't have a favorite fantastical place! I've never read or gotten into LOTR and have only read one or two of the Narnia books.
8. Marvel or DC?
Ok, another big shocker.....I am not into superhero movies. I know, I'm a disappointment. But if I had to pick....I'd go with Marvel. From what I hear, DC films are more on the dark side.
Though I haven't seen any full movies from either universe, I've seen plenty of clips and am more in favor of Marvel!
9. Star Wars or Star Trek?
Hamlette, you're going to wish you never tagged me! :) I don't really care for Star Wars (except for Hans Solo's funny lines) and I've never seen Star Trek, so I'll have to take a pass on this one :)
I'm not too big a fan of Star Wars (I KNOW, I KNOW!) and I haven't seen Star Trek....so I'll go with the unknown of Star Trek!
10. Old movies or new movies?
Both! I adore old movies - they just are filled with amazing dialogue and great messages, integrity, and hilarity! But on the other hand, new movies (the good ones) have such beautiful cinematography, soundtracks, and delightful little details that you don't much see in the former.
I've seen more old movies than new, so I prefer them, especially in light of their higher morals, but I do like a few newer movies...that I can't think of at the moment....uh...what defines new?
11. Old books or new books?
Both!! :)
I like a balance of both, but older books have such charm, depth and wholesomeness that I miss in more modern books... maybe I'm not reading the right books! Suggestions anyone?
Now to think of 11 people to tag...Hmmm...

ReplyDeleteThanks for the tag!
You are very welcome! We just started re-watching the whole Avonlea series, and I am so in love with everything about it!!!
DeleteWell, I figured if the first tag didn't stick, the second one might ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour "we don't actually care about these genres/fandoms, but we'll pick something anyway" answers have made me grin :-D Such good sports!
Sahara is such a fun time! Man, it's been years since I saw it. Now I want a rewatch.
I liked Julie and Julia pretty well, but more for Julia's sections than anything.
Ahhhh, the Mask of Zorro soundtrack is one of my all-time favorites!
That MASH gif made me grin. Excellent choice!
