Poisoned Rationality: 5 Quick Questions with Jim C. Hines!

Today, October 6th 2009, is the release date for Jim C. Hines' newest Princess novel The Mermaid's Madness. To help him celebrate ~~we're gonna drive a mermaid crazy!~~ he has graciously answered some quick questions!

5 Quick Q's

1) Cake or pie?

Why is this an "or" question?

2) In an all out fight who would win--Talia, Danielle or Snow?

I ... I have no idea, actually. I'm thinking probably either Talia or Snow, but I don't have a clue which one. I think it would depend on where they were and exactly what had led up to the fight. Neither one of them are all that worried about fighting fair, so it would probably come down to whoever got the first sneaky attack in on the other.

3) If up means down, down means east, east means west and west means up...from which way does the sun rise?

42.

4) What's the last book you read?

, by Jennifer Estep.

5) Least favorite food or drink?
Coconut. For some reason, shredded coconut triggers my gag reflex every single time. The texture, the taste ... we hates it, we hates it forever!
