This week, I’m doing something different. Another blogger nominated me for a blog tag. A blog tag challenge’s point is to spreading views and promoting other blogs. The blog that starts it will nominate other blogs, in this case five, and then those nominees will nominate others.

Thanks to fellow young blogger Theia Grace for nominating me! My nominees are Quote, Unquote, Good Story, Nightingale Hollow, Lissie’s Books, and DragonInk.

Rules

  • Thank the person who nominated you
  • Describe the rate of your Narnia fanatic (nostalgic, serious, maniacal)
  • Answer the questions below
  • Tag 5+ bloggers
  • Have fun!

Rate your level of Narnia lover:

1. Nostalgic Fanatic — you read the book and/or watched the movies as a child and the word Narnia gives you a warm feeling

2. Serious Fanatic — you rediscovered the wonder of Narnia after you were older and have read the books and watched the movies

3. Maniacal Fanatic — you have lived Narnia from childhood, hid in closets on more occasions than is healthy, have read and watched all the movies including the BBC version

I’d have to put myself somewhere between Nostalgic Fanatic and Serious Fanatic. I only read the series recently, within the past year. I thought it was good, though not as good as most people seem to say it is. I watched all the movies, too, but I didn’t care for Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

1. Who’s your favorite Pevensie sibling?

This would have to be Edmund. His development over the series, from traitor to noble king, is amazing. It’s interesting how, early in the first book, he denies the existence of Narnia, and later in the book he’s a king of the very same.

2. What is the most underrated Narnia book?

I’d have to say The Horse and His Boy. It’s my favorite of the series for the reason that it steps away from the heroes and looks at the common citizen of Narnia. It’s also interesting to look at some of the main characters through another’s eyes.

3. Who is your favorite Narnian King?

Either Caspian or Tirian, the last king of Narnia. Tirian’s boldness and desire to stop the evil in the world are admirable.

4. Who is your favorite Narnian Queen?

Lucy, for sure. She’s the one who started it all. Her character is so kind, and her actor for the movies pull off the character well.

5. Which non-human Narnian do you like best?

Aslan is, of course, the best, but Puddleglum is funny too. You have to admire his determination to stay pessimistic no matter what.

6. Which book deserves a movie?

Again, I’d say The Horse and His Boy. It has plenty of humor and action, and is even short enough for the movie to include all the important scenes.

7. What is the one thing you did as a Narnia fan that you do not regret?

I don’t think I’ve done anything that would fit here. I’m not as much a fan of the series as most are, and I’ve only read them more recently.

Thanks for reading! I’ll be back to reviews on the 27th, looking at an old classic. To make sure you don’t miss the post, follow The Benefield Bookmark. You’ll get Friday’s review strait into your inbox.
