Smokeless Fire Blog Tour: Ari Interview + Giveaway!
Hello Ari, it’s a pleasure to have you here today. I have to say I'm every excited to have you here, you are indeed my first girl I have interviewed for my blog! It’s refreshing to be able to sit down with another lovely lady and chat!
So lets get down to business!!!
Tara: Ari, tell me, what was it like having a boy as a best friend?
Ari: Before everything fell apart for Charlie, it was great. Guys see the world a little differently and I loved his perspective on life. On the downside, having a boy as a best friend can be complicated. As we got older our feelings for each other changed and things got a little… messy…
Tara: Describe your perfect day. Who would be there? Where would you go? What would you do?
Ari: My perfect day? Honestly, there are so many people coming in and out of my life and all of them seem to want something… so I guess my perfect day would be somewhere quiet away from them all. I’d take some diet coke and some pizza with me and hope that Jai decides to spend the day with me in my ‘solitude’.
Ari: I’m scared of turtles. No joke. Seriously. Why do they move so slowly? Is it because they’re planning something so masterful and shocking that it’s taking them all this time? These are little creatures with wise faces born with actual body armor! Evil geniuses planning the apocalypse…. I’m telling ya…
Tara: Tell me about when you met Charlie? What was the first thought in your head?
Ari: That kid stole my ball and I want it back.
Tara: Tell me something about Charlie that we don’t learn in the book.
Ari: His favorite movie is Aladdin. He tells everyone it’s Goodfellas but it’s Aladdin.
Tara: Tell me about when you met Jai? What was the first thought in your head?
Ari: That I didn’t trust him. Also, perhaps, that he was quite possibly the best-looking guy I’d ever seen.
Tara: Tell me something about Jai that we don’t learn in the book.
Ari: I’m still learning all there is to know about Jai. He doesn’t give anything away easily.
Tara: If you could another wish, no questions or tricks, what would it be and why?
Ari: To not be The Seal.

Love the interview!
ReplyDeleteAri, you said you'd wish to not be the seal, would you still like that, even if it meant never meeting Jai?
Thanks for the giveaway!!
What is the funniest this Jai has said to you or did?
ReplyDeleteAri, what other things scare you besides turtles?
ReplyDeleteI don't have a particular question to make you. It is not easy for me to ask something to someone If I don't know him/her. I love all your answers but I have never heard someone to fear the turtles. I have one in my yard and I want another one so it has company. I guess you will never come in my house.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway!
Artemis
I haven't "met" her yet, so I don't have a particular question :(
ReplyDeleteif you could have the ability to read the minds of fish or amphibians, which would you choose???
ReplyDeleteWhat is your guilty pleasure movie Ari? :)
ReplyDeleteI'd ask her how hard it was to choose between Charlie and Jai.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.... I would ask her if she truly believes that Charlie will move on without her.
ReplyDeleteWhat's it like to be you and if you'd change anything.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
