Depends, probably chicken.

Theatre with popcorn!

I want to say heels, but the reality is probably sneakers.
Harry Potter or Percy Jackson:
Harry, baby!

Raisin Bran, but I pick out the raisins. They put in too many!

THE BOOK
The Cirque
Pages: 265
Release Date: February 25th 2013
A good girl trying to find herself.
A troubled boy running from his past.
The seductive allure of the cirque.
One summer that will change them both forever …
Eighteen-year-old ballerina Ariel is determined to experience life outside the dance studio. She auditions for the cirque on a whim, and though ballet training didn’t prepare her for dodging knives, she refuses to flinch and wins the spot of target girl alongside Gabriel, the mysterious knife-thrower. There’s something unmistakably dangerous yet tempting about Gabriel’s crystal blue eyes and tattoos. She’s determined to solve the mystery of his past after learning he’s on the run from the law. Especially since the distraction is just what she needs to avoid admitting to her parents she was dismissed from her ballet contract.
The more she learns about Gabriel, the scars on his body, the foster homes he grew up in, and his fascination with knives, she knows she should run the other way, but that boy’s like crack, oh so bad for you, yet addicting as hell. When he’s arrested and forced to deal with his past, she has to choose between putting her own life back together and dealing with her parents, or taking a chance on Gabriel, as no one else has.
The Cirque is a contemporary new adult romance.

I love This or That! I'm definitely a driver too. I tend to get nauseous in the passenger seat, especially when my husband is driving!

The this or that was fabulous. And hands down chicken over fish, but I think I'd take horror over comedy. Sometimes it's fun to have the pants scared off of you! tkhalliday@gmail.com
