BERTIE: Off the top of your head, what are the three most memorable characters of books you've read in 2009?
Ooh that's tough but I definitely have a yen for bad boys and snarky offsiders but these are my favourites -
- Jules from Lili Wilkinson's Pink- he's proudly gay and as blunt as a kick in the shins. He's fabulous.
- Amy from Elizabeth Scott's Love You Hate You Miss You - a wonderfully crafted conflicted Miss Independent.
- Elaine from Lisa Ann Sandell's Song of the Sparrow (published in 2007 but I read it this year) who is strong, caring, courageous and written in beautiful prose.
Pecan pie...no question.
MUSTARDSEED: Do toilets flush backwards where you are?
To be honest, I haven't really thought about it. I have heard that the flush direction is determined by the shape of the bowl. I guess the real question is - how do Australian toilet bowls differ from their American counterparts? :)
PEASEBLOSSOM: What kind of corset would you wear, if we put you in one?
Something stripey and fabulous.
COBWEB: How much wood CAN a woodchuck chuck?
What exactly is a woodchuck and what is chucking? In Australia chucking is something that is done after some bad takeout. So if the woodchuck has been gnawing considerable tree trunks then I suppose he is chucking an awful lot!
