Once Upon a Week Interview #2 - Tynga!

Welcome back to Once Upon A Week! Today I'm talking with Tynga, a fellow CANADIAN book blogger. Her blog is Tynga's Urban Fantasy Reviews and I encourage you to go check it out. She's a fun girl and it's a great blog. But first, read the interview, with Tynga's words IN BOLD because it suits her.

I'd like to learn a bit more about you, so let's play three truths and a lie. Tell us four facts about you, three of which are true and one that is fictional. (Give your best guess, readers, then scroll to the end of the interview to discover Tynga's lie.)

A- I love hockey more than my boyfriend does. (Tynga originally wrote that she loves hockey more than her boyfriend, but assures me this is not what she meant.)
B- I met my boyfriend in a strip club.
C- I broke 8 bones in a car accident.
D- I draw and paint.

Since you've decided to participate in Once Upon a Week, I assume you like fairy tales. Why?

I am so sentimental! I love fluffy stories with happy endings and I cry most of the time watching cheesy TV shows and Movies.

Which fairy tale is your favorite and why?

My favorite fairy tale as a grew up was The Little Mermaid. Does it even count as a fairy tale? Anyway, I was pretending to be a mermaid in the bath haha. I think I liked it because Ariel was so beautiful and funny and I liked the songs in the movie =) Funny fact, my niece's name is Ariel ^^

Respond to this statement: "Fairy tales are for children."

Wrong answer! Fairy tales are for every optimistic out there. We all love our cute stories with happy endings, everyone wants there very own happily ever after =)

Please fill in the blanks: If I was facing the apocalypse, the fairy tale character I would want by my side is Dean Winchester (ok I cheated he is not a fairy tale, but god he is hawt!) because he is smoking sexy, smart and full of resources. Together, we would be able to kick demon's ass and we would win the ultimate reward, save the world and tons of innocent people.

I'll allow that cheat, because who could blame you? I'm having heart palpitations just looking at this photo! To wrap up, would you please tell us a little about your blog.

I started my blog 3 months ago, because I live in french community and I had no one to share my excitement about books with. Sharing with the rest of the world seemed like a good solution lol. My blog's focus is urban fantasy/ YA fantasy and I LOVE to introduce/interview debut authors. I also host giveaways, usually 2 per months so make sure to stop by =)

** The lie is C, yes I broke 8 bones, but in 8 separate occasions**

Thanks for letting me interview you, Tynga. It's been great! If you're reading this, I forgot to ask why you call yourself Tynga? Childhood nickname, maybe?

LOL, I always think of more questions after I have sent interview questions to people.

I love hockey. It's my favorite sport. Unfortunately for me I never get to watch it because there's no team in Seattle and we don't have cable. Go Wings!

Oh, and I think Dean Winchester is a more than acceptable choice!

Hi Vanessa =) Thanks for having me here!
I loved answering your questions ^^

I call myself Tynga because I played World of Warcraft for like 5 years? and Tynga was my Character name, poeple were always calling me that even in voice chat so it became my internet name.

It originaly came from the TV series Dark Angel with Jessica Alba, Tynga was a sexy asian chick ^^

Great interview! Loads of fun...and yes the picture definitely had me pausing at that section for a few extra moments..*SIGH*. I too loved The Little Mermaid as a child (who am I kidding...if I had it right now, I'd probably be watching it!) for much the same reasons...although I never did pretend to be a mermaid. Good imagination though!

Tynga said...

Yeah Andrea I grew up too fast so my bones were very thin and broke easily.
I broke my elbow twice, a few fingers, a few toes, also sprained my wirst, knee and ankle.

Good thing I wasn't into extrem sport lol
