by Blair Quynh <<link "About Me">> <<script>> Dialog.setup("About Me"); Dialog.wiki("You already know me, probably better than I know me!!! But if you want a lil fun factoid about my name though, Camellia is obviously a flower and it's from the song <i> Camellia </i> by slchld. <br> Blair/Quynh were chosen because I wanted a Scottish/Vietnamese name still. Blair came from the Blair Witch Project, because I love found footage horror and I wanted to publish work under a name that kinda evoked spooky witch vibes. Alice was my second pick though I love A names eee. <br> Quynh is pronounced as 'Quinn' and I've always loved the name. E.g., Alice Quinn from The Magicians and Love Quinn from You. There was a girl in my primary school that had the name Quynh and I was SO jealous. In Vietnamese, Quynh is short for 'Hoa Quynh' which is what they call Epiphyllum - which are known as princess of the night because their flowers only bloom at night. <br> Anyways, play the quiz!!"); Dialog.open(); <</script>> <</link>>

Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness is a groundbreaking work of science fiction, and its popularity established the author's status as a major sci-fi author. It is one of the most famous depictions of androgyny in science fiction, and its exploration of gender on culture and society is still relevant today. Very highkey happy friendship moment when it turned out you had literally ordered it for yourself when I gave you bee's book box eee. What year was The Left Hand of Darkness published? [[1959|Question 1E]] [[1971|Question 1E]] [[1966|Question 1E]] [[1969|Question 2]]

The Farseer Trilogy is a series of fantasy novels set in the Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb, and if there's any trilogy you know inside out—it's this one. I still remember being absolutely heartbroken when this scene plays out in <i> Assassin's Apprentice </i>. Burrich takes away the first creature Fitz ever wit-bonds with—a puppy. Fitz believes Burrich killed the dog, which led to resentment and a fracturing in their relationship. What was the puppy's name? [[Snoopy|Question 2E]] [[Nosy|Question 3]] [[Inquisitive|Question 2E]] [[Pryer|Question 2E]]

Not quite!! Here's a hint, the lil number meme your kids at work are probably obsessed with plus two. [[Try again|Question 1]]

You snort cocaine up your...? [[Try again|Question 2]]

Okok, so we're still in the Realm of the Elderlings universe. When we first reconnected and went to Dymocks, you bought me a book from the series.

[[Dragon Haven|Question 3E]] [[Fool's Errand|Question 3E]] [[Ship of Magic|Question 4]] [[Assassin's Quest|Question 3E]]

I love a trilogy that's unfinished. I love loVE LOVE when there's only two books and it's incomplete, and you recommend it to me so we can suffer in purgatory together!!! In Patrick Rothfuss's The Kingkiller Chronicle, what colour are Deanna's eyes? I honestly lost count how many times Kvothe would go on tangents describing the colour of her eyes, it'd be a good drinking game. [[Green|Question 4E]] [[Blue|Question 4E]] [[Hazel|Question 4E]] [[Brown|Question 5]]

My favourite chapter title of all time - 'Kennit's Whore' <3 [[Try again|Question 3]]

It's time to play Pachinko!!! [Insert Pachinko machine sounds] Possible one of, if not the most, devastating book I've ever read.

[[Kimchi and Banchan|Question 6]] [[Yakiniku|Question 5E]] [[Bulgogi|Question 5E]] [[Bibimbap|Question 5E]]

Think coffee!! [[Try Again|Question 4]]

You don't deserve a clue for this one after putting me through all the trauma. [[Try again|Question 5]]

One of my favourite things I've discovered about you this year was your love for SCP, and I'm so happy we've been able to share it through <i> There is no Anti Memetics Division </i> and I'm going to be spamming you plenty about <i>Library of Ruina!!</i> I'm going to find you a good lore video on <i> Lobotomy Corporation </i> but in the mean time, what was the Antimeme that was encountered by Lee at the start of the book? He was the first person ever to successfully take out this Antimeme. [[Gage|Question 7]] [[Paige|Question 6E]] [[Gabe|Question 6E]] [[U-0055|Question 6E]]

<i> It Lasts Forever and then it's over </i> by Anne de Marcken is one of my favourite novels period, and it makes me so joyous you took the time to read it!! It features my favourite setting for horror as well as creature. I also LOVE a story that explores grief and what makes us human. <b>How much of our memory, of our bodies, of the world as we know it ― how much of what we love can we lose before we are lost? And then what happens?</b> What type of monster is the main character? [[A Deep One|Question 7E]] [[Zombie|Question 8]] [[Beloved when Charlie leaves|Question 7E]] [[Vampire|Question 7E]]

I... Can't remember? What was the question again? What's the antimemetic division? [[Try again|Question 6]]

Okok so we're back to the Realm of the Elderlings it's hard to ignore when Robin writes so masterfully. I'm still so happy and thankful you shared the series with me, it'll always be up there as one of my favourite memories with you and the books will always live in my lil soul library. I'm planning to re-read the Farseer trilogy soon!! Question 8: When Althea gets slutshamed by her sister, what type of wizardwood jewellery does Keffria give her? [[Earring|Question 8E]] [[Nose Stud|Question 8E]] [[Navel Ring|Question 9]] [[Tongue bar|Question 8E]]

Clue: I'm pretty sure Lottie's is still infected. [[Try again|Question 8]]

Do you think Lottie's belly button piercing is still infected? Anyways, <i> Geek Love </i> always makes me think of the song Nerdy Love by pH-1. The entire time I was reading that book that song was just playing in my head even though the vibes are SO mismatched. Any time I go to Google the book (or song) I always combine the two and type in 'Nerd Love'. When it came to Geek Love though, you were 1000% right, it was up my alley. An absolute freak of a book and I loved it. Question time!! What was the name of Arty and Oly's daughter? [[Amanda|Question 9E]] [[Charlotte|Question 9E]] [[Imogen|Question 9E]] [[Miranda|Question 10]]

AAA THE HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA, my first foray into cozy fiction, thank you. Who could've known books could be so feel good?

So we're still on the topic of kids, but you can say this question comes from... A Darker Age. In Dark Age, Sevro and Victra finally have a baby boy, what is his name? ((Also, this was perhaps probably maychance the most horrific scene I've ever read in a book and I've read Brainwyrms)) [[Odysseus|Question 11E]] [[Ulysses|Question 12]] [[Atlas|Question 11E]] [[Apollo|Question 11E]]

The Latin name for the legendary Greek king Odysseus!! I also can't believe you'd forget the name of a DEAD BABY. [[Try again|Question 11]]

Yoko Ogawa's The Memory Police still lives rent free in my brain. I think the depiction of them losing their memories and the sort of 'ritual' that follows afterwards nailed the poignant feeling. The prose was absolutely gorgeous, and I still go back to reread quotes. What did the people in The Memory Police do once they had forgotten their memory? [[Forget entirely and move on|Question 12E]] [[Throw a massive celebration|Question 12E]] [[Burn or toss the item in the river|Question 13]] [[Invite over the memory police to take the items|Question 12E]]

I hear memories make for amazing kindle? [[Try again|Question 12]]

It's time for an exorcism perhaps???? A question about My Best Friend's Exorcism written by our favourite female author Grady Hendrix??? It was one of our first buddy reads and it was cute that Lottie & Gabby ended up reading it too!! In My Best Friend's Exorcism, how did Abby end up exorcising the demon, Andras, that possessed Gretchen? [[By evoking the power of friendship|Question 14]] [[Through traditional Christian exorcism rituals|Question 13E]] [[By throwing hands and taking on the DEVIL itself|Question 13E]] [[By politely requesting Andras leaves|Question 13E]]

Unfortunately not. Abby employed the number one most powerful skill of any Shonen anime protagonist... [[Try again|Question 13]]

AAAAA I can't make a charlie book quiz without The Green Bone Saga. Fonda Lee <3 Who is my favourite character from the series? There is definitely a wrong answer. [[Kaul Hiloshudon |Win]] [[Emery Anden |Win]] [[Maik Wenruxian |Win]] [[Kaul Shaelinsan |Win]]

The other night when you shared that your dad used to get you to read aloud from age 5 it sounded like such a sweet core memory. It was also equally shocking when you told me what book he made you read, that's like Ernest Shackleton going off to find help against all odds difficult. What was the definitely-not-a-children's book he got you to read? [[Finnegans Wake|Question 14E]] [[The Adventures of Tom Sawyer|Question 14E]] [[The Mysterious Island|Question 14E]] [[Robinson Crusoe |Question 15]]

No clue, just that it'd be hilarious if your dad made you read Finnegans Wake aloud as a child. [[Try again|Question 14]]
