Check out author Julie C. Gilbert's fun answers to my Spring Break Fun Q & A interview Spring Break Fun Favorite thing to do on Spring Break when you were a kid/preteen/teen? I read a lot as a kid, so unless we were on actual vacation, I’m pretty sure I was just plowing through a stack of easy reads. Did you go on any trips during Spring Break? I honestly can’t remember when our trips were timed. I think we avoided Spring Break trips because everywhere would be crowded. A Fall long weekend was more likely. Favorite Spring flower? Any that doesn’t give me allergies. I don’t like maintaining the bushes, but forsythia are nice. What’s the best part of Spring for you and the least favorite part? These days? Best part is Spring Break 😉 Least favorite part is the bugs. They come out of hiding. What food says Spring to you? Any specific fruit or dessert? Noodle salad has always been a spring/summer thing. I don’t have much use for mayonnaise in the winter, but come spring or summer, having a variety of cooler type meals was always nice. This or That Movies or TV Series? Depends on the exact show or movie. And circumstances. I do like the movie experience and the big screen appeal, but since I’m mostly a homebody, I’d say shows are easier. Lemonade or fruit juice/smoothie? I do like smoothies. Some have a splash of lemonade in it, but on its own, lemonade is a tad too tart. Picnics or hiking? Ha, neither, but if I had to choose one, I’d say hiking. Park or beach? Park. Audiobook News: Big Sale for Q2 2022 Findaway Voices is letting people run a large audiobooks sale. It runs all of Q2, which I believe is April, May, June. This is an excellent time to catch up. I’m really liking Chirp’s layout. You can also look these up by title.
