Kiss Me I'm Irish Read-A-Long Week 4

Chapters 16-20 (hosted by In the Closet with a Bibliophile)

1. Just after Atticus is shot, Oberon has to "ninja" his way out of the shop and into Hal's Beamer (with the icky air freshener). Have you ever been in a situation where you had to "ninja" your way out and try not to be discovered? If so, what happened?

This is kind of embarassing. So...one day, in high school...actually I should probably put a little more back story into this...I kind of secretly dated a guy for about 2 years. We were in band together and we hung out all the time, but his parents didn't like me and I wasn't the kind of girl that they "saw him marrying" so they kind of refused to let him date me. But we just couldn't keep away from each other. We were inseperable. We drove to school together, had 3 classes together, had practice together, then drove home together where we would sit in my car and talk for hours...usually until my dad drove over and told me to get my self home...(it didn't help that he lived 3 doors down from me so my parents could see if I was parked in his driveway...) So one day, we decided to go chill in his house, even though his parents werent home. We watched a movie in his family room and things started getting heated and we...lost track of time shall we say? The next thing we know, we hear the garage door opening, we jumped up, grabbed clothes, then ran to the basement. I was TERRIFIED. His parents HATED me and here I was with their son, alone..you know...and ugh...I just couldn't face them. I ended up having my guy run around the house, ring his own doorbell, then when his mom went to answer it I snuck out the open garage door and ran all the way to my house. Needless to say, there were no more secret romps at his place...I learned my lesson :)

2. Atticus's main goal through a large portion of the book is not only protecting Oberon, but also protecting the sword. You are now living in a paranormal world and you need a weapon! What weapon do you choose and what can it do?

Woooo...that's hard...I've always had a thing for Elektra's Sai's. Though Daredevil and Elektra weren't the best movies...they did have a lot of fabulous scenes where Elektra took bad guys OUT with her Sai's and I totally had a girl crush on her and her kung-fo skillz. I think Sai's are so badass when used correctly. There's something simple but elegant and deadly about them and they are definitely a weapon that a girl like me could hand.le. It wouldn't hurt if they were charged with some kind of element like fire or lightning that I could use as an additional kickass power.

3. To recharge and heal after being shot, Atticus sleeps naked, tattoos to the earth, in a patch of grass near the Civic Center in downtown Scottsdale. Where is the weirdest place you have ever slept?

Tehe....Atticus naked....tehehehe....Well...I've slept in some WEIRD places...anyone who has ever gone to college will likely have some crazy story where they woke up somewhere odd. I think the worst for me was a cornfield. It's not that uncommon where I'm from...there are cornfields everywhere...Apparently I tried to walk home from the club and got turned around. So the logic in me said just sleep in the corn and I'll find my way in the morning. The best thing was the jeers of my friends when I show up wearing the same clothes from the night before with corn husk strands in my hair and covered in dirt...oh yeah...fun times...

4. We finally find out some very interesting information about Granuaile and I don't know about you, but I certainly wasn't expecting to find that she's sharing her head with someone else. What about you, did you expect anything along those lines? If not, what were you expecting concerning Granuaile?

To be honest, I thought she was going to be an evil witch or working with the other gods to seduce Atty and then betray him. I'm so glad that's not the case because I really like Granuaile's fire. I really thought that the additional person inside her body was creepy/cool. Definitely unexpected and pretty dang awesome. It's a really original idea and I was so freaked out when the two of them kept switching over and talking to Atticus in different voices, etc... I'm trying to come up with a good nickname for Granuaile but I'm failing epically...Granny doesn't sound like a cute young irish girl ya know?

5. Laksha is a witch, a truly evil one at that for many of the things she's done in the past. However, she's supposedly seen the error of her ways. Do you think she really has? Would you be willing to trust her? Do you think Atticus is smart to have decided to trust her to help him with the "other" witches?

I'm not sure if I would trust her totally, but she seems to be doing good for now. I mean she could have kicked Granuaile out of her body in the first place and just took it over, but she asked so that has to mean something. I would probably give her the benefit of the doubt, but would keep a careful eye on her to make sure it was all legit. Atticus kind of has to trust her in the end though...there really seems to be no other way to stop the other witches and what's his face from their evil plots...
