Adventures of La MariOn today’s episode of Adventures of La Mari we are going to create a tag! I have a new book to tell you about that has space travel, cyborgs, and a circus! Click the links below to get more info about the upcoming steampunk sci fi The Cyborg Tinkerer by Meg LaTorre!
Questions: 1. Gwendolyn Grimm: From feisty to sweet and innocent, what is your favorite type of protagonist to read?
2. Bastian Kabir: Not all romances start off on the right foot. What is your favorite romance trope? (Enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, etc.)
3. Rora Lockwood: Some characters are extremely motivated to accomplish an end goal. What are some of your favorite character motivations? (Family, power, safety, career goals, etc.)
4. Celeste Beckett: Some villains are motivated to do evil for the sake of evil, while others might see themselves as the protagonists in their own tale. What is your favorite type of villain to read (morally gray or good vs. evil)?
5. Anchorage: In science fiction and fantasy, settings can range from magical forests to space battles to a dystopian near-future. What is your favorite setting in science fiction and/or fantasy, and why? Since The Cyborg Tinkerer is steampunk - If you have a favorite steampunk setting, give that a shout-out, too!
6. Cirque du Borge: Come one, come all to the mysterious circus of cyborgs. If you had to choose, what is your favorite book that features either a circus or a competition?
7. The Scarlet Dragon: Some obstacles are armies while others are sharp talons and teeth. What is your favorite kind of obstacle mid-way through a book before the climax? (Facing the henchmen, battling a monster, solving a mystery, fighting a battle, etc.)
8. When she falls for both…: Love Triangles. Some people love them. Some people hate them. What is your favorite love triangle you’ve seen in books? OR what is your least favorite love triangle you’ve read?
9. The Space Ship, Obedient: In science fiction, the ship often acts as its own character, whether sentient or not. An entire world is often held inside a hunk of metal (or within the gravitational field, in the case of The Cyborg Tinkerer). What is your favorite ship from a story? Or what is your favorite form of space travel?
10. The Cyborgs: Not everyone is lucky enough to have been born into a loving family. Sometimes they find that love through others like them. What is your favorite story about finding family, whether it’s through long lost relatives when a character thought they had none or adopting people into their family?
