Who are you and why are you blogging?
I’m Brandee, aka Bookworm Brandee. I’m a wife and a mom to 3. I’m an avid reader and I chose blogging as an outlet – a way to share my passion for books with others who are just like me. 🙂

Where’s your favourite reading nook and why?
During the cooler months, I can be found in front of the woodburning stove, curled up on the love seat. When warmer weather arrives, I’m outdoors in my favorite Adirondack chair, under the shade of pine and fir trees.

What’s your most treasured possession?
Besides my kids…my library. 🙂

Who or what would need to accompany you on a desert island?
In real life, my family and my ereaders. In my fantasy life, my favorite book boyfriends – yes, multiples are required to fend off boredom 😉 – and my ereaders, of course!

Top ten favourite books of all times (any genre)?
Ooh, this is hard.

  • Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
  • The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
  • East of Eden by John Steinbeck
  • One Thousand White Women by Jim Fergus
  • Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
  • Forever by Judy Blume
  • Clutch by JA Huss
  • Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
  • Surrender by Pamela Clare
  • Rock Chick by Kristen Ashley

What’s your favourite cocktail or alternative tipple?
I’m a beer girl. My favorite is probably Sierra Nevada’s Kellerweis…ooh, or Avery’s White Rascal.

What’s the thing you regret most not having done in your life so far?
Not having traveled to Europe!!

If you could marry a celebrity, who would it be?
Colin Firth – and he’d have to wear that white shirt to the wedding 😉

You’re asked to a pot luck dinner party. What do you bring?
Depending on the time of year, an Asian salad, pinwheels (cream cheese, green chilis, and black olives rolled into tortillas), or pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.

Where’s your favourite place in the whole wide world?
My home. Or the mountains in general. I live in the mountains but am fond of mountains in other states as well.

You’re talking to a hopeless romantic (me). But do you believe in love at first sight? Why?
I don’t always like how it’s done in a story, but I do believe in love at first sight. I believe in fate, so I believe in that lightning strike when eyes meet across a crowded room.

Unbeknownst to you, your best friend has entered you for a talent show, and suddenly you’re on a stage in front of 5,000 people. What’s your talent, and would you be voted through to the next round?
I would sell them my latest read. 🙂 I can wax poetic about books like nobody’s business. But it probably wouldn’t help me advance to the next round. *ha*

Fabulous interview, thank you so much for visiting, Brandee. Can I come to your wedding to the delectable Colin Firth, especially if he’s wearing **that** shirt? And I’d love to read my way through your library… Thanks again, it’s been fabulous to find out a whole lot of new things about you. Rock on! XX 🙂
