Question - In books like sookie stackhouse (true blood) series, the paranormal creature in question 'comes out of the closet' and makes itself known to the world. which mythical creature do you wish would come out of the closet, for real?
That is rather difficult a question! well we all know witches and vampires are already 'out of the closet' so perhaps, Skinwalkers. Those of native american legend that can change themselves into animals willingly and change back. (not a were-anything!) also i think mermaids, dryads, wood nymphs and faeries would be cool.. Hell, any and all i would love to come out!

Question - Non- book related this week. Do you have pets?
Why yes i do! I have the greatest little dog in the world.
Her name is Panda, shes a 3 1/2 year old Maltipoo (Maltese/poodle mix) and shes the love of my life. She is so funny, she runs around the house for no reason and she snuggles under the blankets with me at night (when shes not fighting crime that is with her AK 15) I don't know what i would do without her in my life and i will always be her mommy.

But Nina won’t be anyone’s stereotype. And when she joins an organization of girls working within the Resistance, she knows that they can put an end to one of the most terrifying secret programs the GC has ever conceived. Because the truth always comes out...and the consequences can be deadly

Lines

Whatever the reason, no one came for me through the long hours of the night. For a while, I was treated to the comforting sound of Jamaal pounding on a door and yelling at the top of his lungs. Apparently, Anderson had locked him in one of these basement rooms, too, and he wasn't shy about letting everyone know he was unhappy about it.
