Lydia and Kathryn Stuck on a Desert Island.

We only thought it fair that we should answer the same questions we're asking authors and thought it might give you a chance to get to know us a bit better too!

Lydia:

1. If you could only have one book with you, what would it be?
Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

2. What one luxury item would you want to be stranded with?
My first reaction was my Burt's Bees lip balm. I'm not sure I could live without it, having had a lip balm addiction since discovering The Body Shop's strawberry tubs in high school, but I'm thinking a pillow would last much longer (yes, lip balm doesn't last long with me) and provide much needed comfort. I'm going with a pillow.  Final answer.

3. What is the one practical item you would want to have with you to use? 
A knife of some sort. I'm thinking machete.

4. Would you enjoy the solitude, even briefly, or would it drive you crazy? 
I enjoy being alone, so it might not bother me for a while, although the nights would probably scare the bejeepers out of me. Hopefully #5 would help with that and keep me amused for longer.

5. If you could be stranded with one other person, who would you want it to be?
I guess I can get dreamy without a significant other: Johnny Depp – because he would have no choice but to fall for me with no one else around and my twenty year crush will finally be realized.

6. What modern technology would you miss the most?
Without a second thought:  my iphone.

7. What food or beverage would you miss the most?
Greasy Carbs if I have to pick something. In reality, I'd probably miss having a variety of food. I tend to get bored easily and swilling coconut juice and munching fish for days might make me insane.

8. How many days do you think you would cope without rescue?
A week.  Maybe longer with Johnny.

9. What is the first thing you would do when rescued?
Shower. Twice.

10. What would be your first Tweet or Facebook update upon your return?
Stuck on Desert Island with Johnny Depp. No longer need to resort to stalking.


Kathryn:

1. If you could only have one book with you, what would it be?
The Shell Seekers- Rosamunde Pilcher. 

2. What one luxury item would you want to be stranded with? 
Can I ask for running water?    If not then I'd like some soap please. 

3. What is the one practical item you would want to have with you to use? 
My pillow.


4. Would you enjoy the solitude, even briefly, or would it drive you crazy?
Would definitely enjoy it briefly but knowing it was permanent I would start to go nuts pretty quickly I think!

5. If you could be stranded with one other person, who would you want it to be?
My husband.

6. What modern technology would you miss the most?
Internet for sure.

7. What food or beverage would you miss the most?
Chocolate or tea...

8. How many days do you think you would cope without rescue?
Three.

9. What is the first thing you would do when rescued?
Shower and then have a family dinner.

10. What would be your first Tweet or Facebook update upon your return?
THAT was interesting!  Remind me to never use that tour group/airline again!
