The Mystery Blogger Award

I was nominated for this award by AmyNikita @ A Magical World of Words, which is a wonderful blog all of you should check out! The creator of this award is Okoto Enigma @ Okoto Enigma's Blog.

I no longer participate in either awards or book tags, as they're much too time-consuming for me. However, I have decided to make an exception for Amy, because she's such a nice blogger friend! Thanks, Amy!!

Three Things About Myself

1.) I am fluent in both English and Spanish, and know a little French, as well.

2.) I am TEAM EDWARD, but also love JACOB!!

3.) I am a pro-life feminist.

My Answers to Amy's Questions

1.) If you could marry one fictional character, who would it be?

It would DEFINITELY be Edward Cullen from The Twilight Saga! I find him so fascinating and ROMANTIC. Some people have accused him of being 'a controlling stalker', but I disagree. He just wants to protect Bella from himself as much as possible. And Bella DOES stand up to him, especially in the books. I would do the same thing!

2.) If you could live in one fictional world from a book or movie, where would it be?

Well, I really can't pick just ONE, lol. I would love to live in either Middle-Earth, or at Hogwart's. Both magical places are SO wonderful!!

3.) If you could enter a fairy tale, which fairy tale would it be?

Again I can't choose just one....lol. It would have to be either "Peter Pan", or "Beauty and the Beast". I would love to share in Peter's adventures, or be romanced by the Beast!

4.) What is your dream job?

I would love to be self-employed, spending my time on creative activities such as painting and writing. Currently, I don't have the financial means to spend all of my time doing these things. 

5.) Pick a villain you think could actually be good as a hero.

Gosh, this is hard..... I don't think there are that many villains who could be turned into heroes. Wait, there's one -- Julian, from The Forbidden Game, by L.J. Smith. He really did behave like a hero at times. I do wish that Smith had completely reformed him....

Random: If you had to choose between spending the rest of your life in an ocean of cold water, or in a scorching hot desert, which would you choose?

OMG!! What to do?! Well.....my first impulse was to pick the ocean, but, on second thought, I would pick the desert. Why? Because in the desert, I could find or invent something to keep myself cool. In the ocean, though, I would soon get tired of trying to keep myself afloat, and would drown.

My Questions

1.) Which character killed off by an author would you love to bring back from the dead? Why?

2.) Would you ever consider reading a book in spite of many negative reviews? Why or Why not?

3.) What kind of prose style do you prefer -- lyrical and poetic, or simple and unadorned?

4.) If you LOVE the Young Adult Fiction genre, please explain why.

5.) Which book(s) you've read in the past have you been tempted to throw across the room, and why?

Random: You can save a friend's life by either agreeing to live on an uninhabited moon for a year, or agreeing to become part of a drug cartel for a year. Which would you choose?
