BETHAN'S QUESTIONS:
1. When is your birthday (you don't have to say the year)?
July 23rd of the year nineteen hundred and ninety-two. :]
2. Why did you start blogging?
Well, I suppose it was when my mother started her blog. She allowed me to post on it and that sparked the idea to share one with my sisters, which we christened Maidens of Virtue. And later, Plain & Average was created as my personal site.

3. What is on the top of your To Be Read pile?
Haha! I love that this question says "pile." Although mine could probably be more accurately described as a skyscraper. . . Anyways, it would have to be Scarlet, second addition to The Lunar Chronicles and sequel to Cinder, one I just finished less than two days ago and really enjoyed. It is a fantastic, futuristic retelling of the classic fairytale (can you guess which one?) and I was pleasantly impressed. Come on, a cyborg Cinderella? What is more intriguing than that?

4. How are you today? :)
I am feeling marvelous! Thanks for asking. ;D I have bread rising in the oven, a lasagna to help my mother put together, and a friends and family coming over for a study in Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace. Also, a potential writing challenge is on my list for the next week, and hopefully I can sit and finally get serious of adding more to my stories (yes, plural). And God is good. :}

5. If you could be room-mates with one fictional character, who would it be and why?
Oh my. I've never actually thought about this before. Lemme think. . . Maybe Echo Sackett from Louis L'Amour's Ride the River. Simply because she's my kind o' gal and I believe I could learn a lot from her. :] Plus, I love westerns and the era of the Old West.

6. If you could be one fictional character, who would it be and why?
Another hard one?? Hmm. I keep thinking and one person appears at the front of my mind: Rapunzel from Tangled! She is smart, quirky, and a princess. Not to mention, she's got Eugene. . . :D

7. If you could push one fictional character off a cliff, who would it be and why?
GAH! The Joker from the second Batman film, The Dark Knight. First of all, he is beyond insane. I cannot think of a word to describe him! Crazy and heartless doesn't cut it. Second, I watched that movie ONE time and was horribly scarred and deathly afraid of pencils. (If you haven't seen it, please do not ask why and DO NOT watch it. If you have, I pity you.)
Although, seriously, that is not what Jesus would do. So, I would simply root for Batman to put him out of his misery (if ya know what I mean). . .

8. What is your favorite book genre e.g classic, fantasy, sci-fi?
Oh dearie, dearie. Bethan! Why such difficult questions?? :D I'll have to say Medieval/Fantasy--not so much the Sci-Fi Fantasy, though. But I do love the classics, like Jane Austen's novels, Jules Verne, Elizabeth Gaskell, etc.

9. Dogs or cats?
Cats, first. Because I've grown up with them all my life. But if I ever get a dog, I want him to be an Irish Wolfhound and name him Fitz. :3

10. Would you rather read or write?
Oo. Read, I guess. Simply because I starting seriously writing at the age of 18, having read long before that. There's just something about getting lost in words and pages (and I'm not talking about the digital "pages" of a Kindle or tablet reader).
