A new regular feature here is Mondayitis, published every Tuesday, it features guests discussing a series of questions. People have their own view of the questions and some use them as a starting point while others actually answer them, in their own particular way.

What do you read?

I tend to read fantasy first, with a slight overlap into straight Science Fiction. I am also interested in Biographies (particularly of movie stars for some reason) and have recently been working my way through a whole bunch of novels about biblical women (can anyone recommend something about a Hebrew queen called ShlomTzion? She sounds fascinating enough to have had (a) novel(s) written about her, but I can’t find anything!) I also subscribe to and read lots of Dance magazines and Sewing magazines. Oh, and I also read (and collect) comic books and have done so since I was 14 or thereabouts.

Why do you read?

Can’t imagine NOT reading! Will almost read anything that will stand still long enough for me to do so, including the Corn Flakes box and even the F* Manual!

Do you read for work or pleasure?

Mostly for pleasure, but will work my way through instructions on stuff if the pictures aren’t clear enough.

Can you do the Safety Dance while reading?

Didn’t know what the Safety Dance WAS until you recently posted a link to it. Could probably do it, but why? I’m usually lying (or at least sitting) down when reading. Difficult (but not impossible) to dance in that position!

Are you a Discworld/Twilight/Harry Potter fan?

Haven’t read Discworld, have read and enjoyed Twilight (Team Jacob, cos he’s cute and his name is almost the same as my grandfather’s) and Harry Potter (but only read the 7th book once). Am waiting on daughter to finish re-reading Hunger Games before I sink my teeth into it.

Would you attend a flash mob dressed as your favourite character?

Would I? I did! See attached picture from Take 5 magazine, from the attempt to get the Guiness World Record for the most people in one place in Superhero costume. (That’s me on the right.) There are lots of photos out there on Facebook of me in various costumes, which I’ve made. The latest was me as Deanna Troi at SupaNova 2012. I think that about covers it!

Edited to add the photo.

Check out those abs!

You can look for me on Facebook as “Aunty Jenny” if you would like to see and/or comment on the costumes!
