As we are preparing to celebrate this blog’s third Birthday on April 1, I wanted to give everybody an opportunity to ask their favorite blogger anything they want.
Don’t be shy, I know there are things you are curious to know.
I’m making this post sticky for a while, so scroll down for new posts.
What are your favorite books?

Gosh, that’s a huge one. 🙂 I’m an obsessive reader and I can’t really single out the most favorite books unless I come up with a list of 200. 🙂 I really like long books that run for over 500 pages. Which is a response that makes me sound stupid, I know. 🙂

Do you have an explanation or theory as to why you have a noticeable accent in English but not in Spanish?
LikeLike
That’s an easy one. The Russian pronunciation is much closer to Spanish than to English. The vowels are exactly the same. And it’s precisely the English vowels that defeat me.

That means you would speak perfect Middle English!

Well this might be more of a subject for a blog post but I am curious about your first marriage–why you got married so young–why the marriage didn’t work out etc etc. You have covered some of this before ut I guess I am nosey. I love reading that kind of information. I am also curious what inspired you to begin identifying as a feminist and when that happened.

Yes, that’s an entire soap opera that I haven’t tackled yet. 🙂 But I think time has come to do so.

Should we consider the increased interest to your personal life as you becoming a celebrity? 🙂 🙂

What do you mean “becoming a celebrity”? I’ve been a minor celebrity for a while. 🙂 🙂

You said once that when you were my age, you thought that learning was “stooopid” and spent little time on intellectual pursuits. How old were you when you (re)discovered a love of book-learning and what led you to it?

Do you have a crystal ball? If so, can you tell me when I’ll start to feel better? I’ve had this cold, on and off, for six weeks. But now, I think it’s actually allergies.

If this blog were made into a book which posts would you choose? Maybe this could be an idea for a new ‘Clarissa’s Greatest Hits’ post where readers can submit their choices for as well.

Thank you for asking. 🙂 We are looking for a publisher right now. I wanted to write a foreword, too, but this will have to wait until we do find a publisher.
