Get to Know Us...Emily

While we are waiting for some of our other members to answer these questions, I'll go ahead and give you my answers.  My name is Emily and I have been in the NoVA LitChicks for almost 6 years and as Sara would tell you, I don't make whoopie pies enough for our meetings.

1. What book are you currently reading? I am doing this book challenge this year and I am currently reading "Accidentally On Purpose" by Mary F. Pols as a book with an antonym in the title and I am listening in my car to "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline as my book set in the future.
2. Most memorable book from childhood? - I remember reading the entire "Little House on the Prarie" series by Laura Ingalls Wilder with my mom and my sister every night before bed. 
   
3. What are you favorite genres to read? - I like to read a lot of historical fiction, especially when mashed with romance and mystery.
4. How do you read (i.e. library vs. purchase, electronic vs. physical book, audio)? -  I read a lot on the metro so I own a lot of kindle books.  When I do road trips I like to listen to audiobooks.
5. Where is your favorite place to read? - I find it really easy to read while commuting, but I also like reading on my bed during the day.
6. What book character would you most like to have dinner with? - I would love to have dinner with my bestie Danielle and invite Anne Shirley and her bestie Diana Barry from the Anne of Green Gables series.
7. What do you read for guilty pleasure? - Veronica Mars fanfiction.  Some of the fanfiction writers are so crazy good, possibly better than Rob Thomas (the creator of Veronica Mars) himself.
8. Favorite thing to drink while reading? - Hot Chocolate.
9. Favorite author? - I adore Elizabeth Gilbert who wrote "Eat, Pray, Love".  I also really enjoy Lauren Willig who wrote the Pink Carnation mystery series.
10. Favorite book club read? - With the LitChicks, my favorite book has been "Moloka'i" by Alan Brennert, but with book clubs in general, my favorites have been either "The Namesake" by Jhumpa Lahiri  or "The Time Traveller's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger.
