I want to say Hercules (Heracles) but that's mostly because of the Disney movie. Oh, and I also loved The Odyssey because of the Wishbone version of the book.

[L Y N N]

1. What was your favorite fairy tale as a child?
Ooohhh...I don't know. I was fascinated with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass probably due to the fact I had an oversized beautifully illustrated version gifted to me at age 9 or 10.

I guess the "genre" is real life!

Stacey Abrams
Again, I guess the "genre" is real life!

5. What imaginary creature do you wish you could meet?
Sissix from Becky Chambers' Wayfarer series!

In an attempt to be sensitive to others' political beliefs, I will refrain from 'voicing' my initial thought... 😊 Any serial-killing psychopath! Ugh!

The Night Circus
Erin Morgenstern's descriptions just suck me in...

Invisibility. I just can't think beyond how much fun it would be...to be there, but not be there!
