Thank you @books-are-portals for tagging me. It took a little longer but I am starting to catch up with tumblr again, yay!
1. First thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “waffles”?
Yummy! Also, Ankh Morpork ;-)
2. Have you ever knitted anything? What was it?
I learned knitting in school and I can remember knitting at least a (very wonky) scarf. I am more for crocheting.
3. What’s been the weirdest book you’ve enjoyed?
Jasper Fforde’ Thursday Next series. Christopher Moore’s A Dirty Job. Those are pretty weird I think.
4. Pick a random book from your shelf and recommend a film based on that book.
Watership Down --> Wallace & Gromit and the Were-Rabbit. Because it has cute bunnies and they all live.
I have these very comfy pyjama pants, and my purple hoodie, my loop scarf from Buff, my old sports bra and that new top I bought for work with the galaxy-inspired print and the see-through arms (hard to describe but it is so cool).
6. Name the first song that comes to your mind based on your current read. Why that song?
Well, I am reading Christopher Lee’s autobiography so anything from the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. Quite boring.
7. Would you rather visit the Moon or Mars?
I would not want to visit either. I am scared of going into outer space. Also, there are Nazis on the dark side of the moon and Water Aliens on Mars.
8. What’s your favourite scent?
Freshly cut grass. My cats’ fur.
9. What’s the last thing you ate? Was it good?
A guinness cupcake and of course it was good.
10. Name 3 positive things you’re good at.
I am good at organising things, baking, quick learner.
11. What’s the strangest word from your first language(s)?
Dambedei. This is the local name for a sweet bread dough looking like a man with raisin eyes ... here’s the English wikipedia article, with pictures.
Oh, now I have to come up with my own questions .... hm.
Your favourite word from your first language.
And your favourite word in any language.
Name 5 positive things about yourself.
And now 3 things you are good at (I kept that one from @books-are-portals list because self-love is important)
What’s your “Patronus”-memory, i.e. the happiest moment in your life?
Recommend a book which you think I should read.
Do you set yourself a reading list or pick books by mood?
Did you make friends on tumblr that you met (or want to meet) in real life?
Last book you read that was completely outside your normal reading preference. Why did you pick it up and did you like it?
Favourite christmas book?
Favourite christmas movie?
Yes, some Christmas asks already because there’s only about 70 days left and I love Christmas time.
