I need more questions. I'm on a long conference call over lunch.

Why did you pick that avatar/username?


Coke or Pepsi?


Do you wear makeup and do your hair daily?

The username is a nickname I had in high school. Marvin goes along with it, plus his cartoons always amused me.

Coke, always.

Yes to makeup. Neutral/natural eye shadow, liner, and mascara. I try to do my hair most days, but there are some days when it goes up in a bun. Like today when it was storming when I was getting ready and it was just going to be a big poof.

Do you play RPGs? If so, what are you doing Sunday?

Not really, but mostly because H isn't into them. I have a vivid imagination and love storytelling and character building, so I think I would like them. Any suggestions?

Pathfinder. Big love for Pathfinder. And they recently came out with a few books to help with character creation.

Do you like YA books? If yes, what do you recommend?

Yes! Most of the ones I've read and liked are pretty popular:

Hunger Games series
Ender's Game (the sequels are more adult than YA)
Ready Player One
The Fault in Our Stars
The Age of Miracles
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
The Book Thief

These ones seem less so:

Battle Royale (basically the original Hunger Games, but different)
The Last Unicorn (old book, but just recommended to me recently)
Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce
Immortals series (also by Pierce)
Protector of the Small series (yet another by Pierce)


Any you've read recently you would recommend?

[jax1182014]

I really liked:
Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire
Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover and Eleanor and Park
All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
Some of these are considered "New Adult" because they are just out of high school. I love my teen romances but I'm looking for a teen romance with a different twist.

marshian, I wish I could love-tit more than once for the Tamora Pierce love. She's been one of my favorites since I first read Wild Magic in middle school!

It's so awesome to find another TP fan! A friend introduced me to Alanna: The First Adventure in middle school and I was hooked.
