Ardent Attachments’s questions:

Favourite book-to-film adaptation?

Easy: Catching Fire the second Hunger Games movie. This adaptation was freaking incredible – it followed the book exactly and left nothing out. Perfection!

Following on – what book do you want to be made into a TV show/film?

I love these books so much! They are intelligent, heartbreaking, romantic and suspenseful. The books would make an awesome HBO or Netflix show. No, I’m serious. AMAZING.

Lastly – now dreamcast that film/tv show, only a few characters.

Nicholas Lumkong as Damen and Freddie Fox as Laurent. Um, yesssssss.

If you were to write a book, what do you think your main character would be called?

I already know this! I’m a writer and have been working on a four book YA series. My main character’s name is Jade – but that’s not her real name. (hehe)

What are three songs do you adore and why?

“Artpop” by Lady Gaga, because it’s such a fun and entertaining song to dance to. No matter what has happened in my life, or where I am, if I hear this song, I immediately start dancing and am in a fantastic mood.
“Flawless***” by Beyonce, because it is an amazing feminist song. Girl power!!
“Lean On” by Major Lazer, because the beat is incredible and it’s a song you can both dance and chill out to.

Do you play video games? What are a couple of your favourites?

Occasionally! I love all of Telltale’s games, specifically their Game of Thrones game. That game ripped out my heart, I swear. I also love all of the Lego games, specifically the Lego Marvel game. It took my brother and I months to unlock Deadpool and save 50 Stan Lees.

What book would you like to play through as a video game?

Omg, what an awesome question! Probably the books from the Mortal Instruments series. I would love to see that world come to life in video game form and I could kick some serious demon ass!

What is your favourite Disney film?

It’s a tie between Beauty and the Beast and Mulan. Both films are amazing and feature such strong women. Honourable mentions: Pocahontas, Frozen and Tangled. It is hard for me to choose, I’m sorry!!

What three book characters would you like to have lunch with?

Lizzie Bennet from Pride and Prejudice – she would be amazing to talk to. She’s so intelligent and independent, and I just think we would be good friends.
Magnus Bane from The Mortal Instruments series – he’s so intelligent, funny and weird. He is immortal and has lived for years and has so many amazing stories to tell, so you know he’ll be the most entertaining lunch guest.
Adelina Amouteru from The Young Elites trilogy – she is such a badass and I would spend all of lunch trying to get into her head. I’d probably end up pledging my allegiance to her.

If you were to get a book related tattoo, what would you get?

Probably something to do with Pride and Prejudice, perhaps a quote like the one on the right.

What’s your favourite breakfast food?

A full, hearty breakfast including: bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, tomatoes, mushrooms, hash brown, halloumi, and sausages. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.
