A few years back when I started this whole blogging adventure I did a fun interview I called the Top 10. It was silly questions that let you get to know the author a little bit better. Just about 3 years to the date I interviewed Amber Garr. Let's see if her answers have changed any....
Then: Jan 3, 2012
1. guilty pleasure?
I am a fan of sugar. So something sweet like chocolate or gum drops. They
can’t be in the house!
2. 1 book you could read over and over?
There are actually several books/series that I’ve read more than once. But
I think the ones I devoured over and over were Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy
series. All of them!
3. If you could meet someone dead or alive, who would it be?
It would have to be Jacques Cousteau. I’m a marine biologist so I think
meeting someone as inspirational and successful as he was, would help remind me
of how far the field has come and what I can do to continue his ocean
conservation legacy.
4. one thing you cannot leave the
house without?
My iPod - I simply cannot function without music in my ears! My Kindle
would be a close second.
5. fave song/singer?
There are so many - but I’d say that right now I’m on a Tori Amos kick and
have been listening to her newest album over and over.
6. hobby?
If not writing, it would be dancing and choreographing. Since I spend my
day surrounded by science and fact-finding, I need to do something creative for
my brain at night.
7. fave movie/actor and /or actress?
This is a hard one. I confess that I will watch Braveheart whenever it’s on
so that probably puts it in the favorite category. As far as actresses, I’d go
with Emma Stone or Bryce Dallas Howard. And Russell Crowe or Tom Hanks would be
my actors.
8. one place you would love to visit?
Antarctica. Seriously. I think it would be so beautiful and unspoiled. But
I also think I’d need to go in the summer!
9. fave food?
Cheese ravioli’s with no sauce please (just butter and garlic!). It’s about
one of the only things I can/will cook myself!
10. fave author/book?
I don’t know if I can pick just one.
There are four authors that I really love and try to read everything
that they publish: Kelley Armstrong, Kim Harrison, Richelle Mead, and Charlaine
Harris.
