Animate Me blog tour.. This OR That & Giveaway with author Ruth Clampett ~ '

She seemed far beyond his reach…could love draw them together? For years shy animator Nathan has carried a torch for Brooke, the beautiful and dynamic Director of Development at their animation studio, even creating B-Girl, a comic-book heroine in her likeness. When a new project throws the two of them together, lovestruck Nathan finally seizes his moment – only to find Arnauld, head of the animation studio, claiming exclusive rights to Brooke’s affections.
But Nathan, it turns out, is not giving up on his dreams so easily. With inspired determination, he sets out to be the super hero of wooing his girl. Threatened by his persistence, Arnauld plays dirty – only to spark an uprising at the studio that unleashes the sort of havoc only a building full of frustrated animators can create. While Nathan pulls out all the stops to win his B-girl, Brooke has to choose. Should she pursue the sparkling career that has taken her years to build…or follow her heart?

“This or That” with Ruth Clampett

*Day or Night Night, it’s my magic time.

*Coffee or Tea Well, the cover for Animate Me pretty much gives this away but I’m a coffee
girl for sure. The staff at my local Starbucks knows me by name and starts my drink without me ordering. It’s my home away from home.

*Pen or Pencil I prefer pens for their boldness because pencils seem tentative.

*Hotdogs or Hamburgers I wouldn’t turn down either. Sometimes my favorite lunch is a Costco hotdog and other times In-N-Out is the only thing that will hit the spot.

*Ereader or Hardback Don’t get me wrong…I greatly appreciate my Ereaders, especially when I’m traveling. But there is something so sensuous about a printed book, the feel of the paper between your fingers as you excitedly turn each page. You just feel different holding a book in your arms, as if the story is part of your world now. I just can’t get that feeling digitally

*Vampires or Werewolves Werewolves scare me and the only vampire I’ve ever really liked was Twilight’s Edward, but I’d definitely hang out with him in his meadow.

*Cinema or DVD Cinema with a tub of popcorn and a cute date to share it with. But I will admit to the guilty pleasure of watching key scenes of favorite films over and over-so DVD’s allow that and I love them for it.

*Curled up with a good book OR A Night on the Town I’m a do-it-all kind of girl, so I’d curl up with a good book in the afternoon and then go out on the town at night.

*Country or Top 40 Being a city slicker so I’d have to say Top 40. Lately I’m finding all my
music from my indie-loving teenage daughter.

*Dragonball Z OR The Last Airbender Is it bad that I don’t know either one? Does either one have a dashing man I can’t resist? If so, I pick that one!
