Best April Fools Day Joke you have done or someone has done to you?

~What story does your family always tell about you?
When I was in kindergarten my parents were talking about the eucalyptus tree but they couldn't remember the name and I suddenly said the name because I've heard about it in school. I was like 4 or 5.  

~What kind of music do you like?
I love pop, rock, indie rock, alternative rock, punk, metal and musical.

~Would you rather have money or fame?
Not even a hard question for me. Money!

~Do you celebrate Easter? If so what is one of your traditions?
I celebrate it a little. I mostly go to my mom's house with Easter to watch my little brother look for easter eggs. This year, however I couldn't because I arrived later on the day but I bought him a present and some eggs anyway.

~Best April Fools Day Joke you have done or someone has done to you?

I don't really do April Fools Day Jokes but last year my friend Em (she's a huge trollster!) said she was leaving Goodreads for good as April Fools Day Joke. We all fell for it. So this year I decided I'm not going to trust anything she says!

Know Me Better #7

Know Me Better is a weekly meme hosted by Kathy @ I Am A Reader, Not A Writer. Each week she will pick 5 questions off of her author interview lists to answer. She invites us to share our answers to these questions as well.

~This week's questions:

What is the kindest thing anyone has done for you?
What is most memorable about your high school years?
Have you ever gotten up early for a "black Friday sale"?
Were you named after anyone?
Would you bungee jump, skydive or something similar?

~What is the kindest thing anyone has done for you? 
I can't think of anything at the moment. People have done kind things for me a lot. Like, I'm always surprised some authors would be so kind enough to send their books or swag all the way to Belgium just for me.

~What is the most memorable about your high school years?
At the moment I can only think of this one time where I found out my Dutch teacher was the cousin of a pretty popular writer here in Belgium, which got me to reading that writer's books. One of those books is still my favorite Flemish book. And that's saying a lot because I barely read any Flemish books anymore. Also around that time I really got back into reading.

~Have you ever gotten up early for a "black Friday sale"?
Um... since we don't have Thanksgiving here in Belgium, we don't have black Friday sales either.

~Were you named after anyone?
My father named me, and he always told me I was named after princess Stephanie of Monaco.

~Would you bungee jump, skydive or something similar?
Never ever! I'm extremely afraid of heights so doubt it I will ever do something like that. Also, I don't want to die. lol. :P

Favorite Literary Characters?
In your wildest dreams, which author would you love to co-author a book with?
Things that bring a smile to your face?

~If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
Ireland. I've never been there before but I really want to go there someday. It must be amazing to live there. 

~Favorite Literary Characters?
This is a really hard question. I could go on and on and my favorites change almost every week but some of my top favorites are Adrian Ivashkov and Sydney Sage from VA and Bloodlines, Barrons from Fever, Artemis Fowl, Oliver from Mind Over Monsters, Rachel from The Hollows, etc... 

~In your wildest dreams, which author would you love to co-author a book with?
Well, I'm not an author but in my wildest dreams I have to go high and say Eoin Colfer or Michelle Diener. Eoin, because he's an amazing writer. And Michelle because I also have a thing for history.

~Things that bring a smile to your face?
My little brother, Noah. Books. My pets; a dog named Pruts and bunny named Ducky and vacation at the coast.

~Do you have a favorite saying?
I don't think I have a favorite saying but I do love something me and my friend Em came up with the other day: "Even in the most stressed times, there is always time for reading."

Know Me Better #3

Know Me Better is a weekly meme hosted by Kathy @ I Am A Reader, Not A Writer. Each week she will pick 5 questions off of her author interview lists to answer. She invites us to share our answers to these questions as well.

~This week's questions:

Pieces of Advice you have for aspiring writers?
Favorite TV show when you were younger?
What would we find if we looked under your bed?
Book Store or Library?
Heads or Tails?

~Pieces of Advice you have for aspiring writers?
Don't give up and believe in yourself. Sounds maybe lame but it's true. And I also think taking a well deserved break every now and then is necessary too. Don't tire yourself out, it won't help your writing. 

~Favorite TV show when you were younger?
Watership Down. 

~What would we find if we looked under your bed?
Very questionable things for sure...

~Book Store or Library?
Book store, because the libraries here in Belgium never have the English books I love reading.

~Heads or Tails?
Head!

Know Me Better #2

Know Me Better is a weekly meme hosted by Kathy @ I Am A Reader, Not A Writer. Each week she will pick 5 questions off of her author interview lists to answer. She invites us to share our answers to these questions as well.

~This week's questions:

I can't live without...
Do you make your bed each morning?
City or Country?
Most embarrassing moment?
What do you think of book trailers?

 ~I can't live without...
Reading and music. I have to have my daily fix of reading and listening to music or I go crazy. Also, chocolate could be high on my Can't-Live-Without list.

~Do you make your bed each morning?
I do. It just has to lay the exact right way for me.

~City or Country?
I'm definitely a city girl. Always been. I wouldn't be able to live in the country. My mom lives in a small town so I go there occasionally. I do like the quietness of it sometimes but it's too far from everything for my liking.

~Most embarrassing moment?
Hard question. The only thing coming to mind is this one time when I was about 14 I think and I was running past a lake with a friend, while I was holding my MP3... Yeah, not a very good idea because I tripped over some tree roots and the MP3 fell into the lake. I guess I should be happy it wasn't me who fell in I guess... lol

~What do you think of book trailers?
I love them! I think that they're a good way to get readers excited about the books. They have to be done right, though. If the book trailers look like crap it will not interest the readers so much.

Know Me Better #1

Know Me Better is a weekly meme hosted by Kathy @ I Am A Reader, Not A Writer. Each week she will pick 5 questions off of her author interview lists to answer. She invites us to share our answers to these questions as well.

~This week's questions:

Top 5 songs on your playlist?
How much time do you spend reading each week?
What is the last thing you Googled?
Favorite places to travel?
What is your favorite way to spend a rainy day?

~Top 5 songs on your playlist? 
It changes from week to week depending on my mood, so I really couldn't say except that my new number 1 song lately is Bring Him Home (from the musical Les Misérables) preformed by Ramin Karimloo.
It's such a beautiful song that brings tears to my eyes every single time. I especially like Ramin's version of it.


~How much time do you spend reading each week?
Again, it changes from week to week depending on the books I am reading but  I'm roughly guessing 10-12 hours a week if it's a really good book.


~What is the last thing you Googled?
A website for my little brother Noah from a channel of my country that sends shows for kids. 


~Favorite places to travel?
Every summer ever since I was a baby we go on vacation to the Belgian coast, so it's no wonder that I love going there even now. And other than that I love going to Centerparcs, which is a sort of holiday park where you can go swimming, sport, relax, hike and eat lots of yummy food!


~What is your favorite way to spend a rainy day?
Reading! (duh) and watching movies or tv shows.
