First encounter with the Twilight Universe:
At the bookstore looking for new reading material. Loved the look of the cover and picked it up on that ale. The rest, as they say, is history.
Favourite Twilight Book:
Eclipse
Character most similar to in Twilight:
Most similar to? Oh, I'm not sure but I'd venture to say I'm most similar to Esmee; always looking out for everyone and wanting everything to be perfect (often to my own detriment).
Character I'd like to be in Twilight:
Alice.
Which enjoyed more - the book or the film?
It's a toss up since they're very different. I love the book for starting it all but the movie beautifully transforms the story into something else; a living breathing world I can almost live in. Same universe but a different feel.
Team Edward, Team Jacob or Team Switzerland?
Shamelessly Team Edward. It's all in the hair.
What draws me to the Twilight world is...
I'm actually not quite sure and that was one of the draws of being able to do this show; to try and sort out just what makes these characters, their stories and the Twilight universe in general, so appealing.
Favourite Films:
Ah! I don't do well with lists and this would change depending on the day but today:
1) Interview with a Vampire
2) Bram Stoker’s Dracula
3) Blue Velvet
4) The Matrix
5) Cube
Obviously, there's a theme here.
Favourite Book:
Just one? But I have so many! I'd say The Sevenwaters Trilogy and The Vampire Chronicles are very high on the list as is, of course, the Twilight series.
Favourite Author(s):
Anne Rice, Juliet Marillier, Clive Barker, William Gibson
Favourite Genres:
Fantasy, Fiction, Sci-Fi
Most likely to find me:
At the movie theatre, at the bookstore, in front of my computer or on couch in front of the TV.
The perfect day is:
Curling up on the couch with some coffee, a book (or two) and a stack of movies.
