If I was stranded on a desert island, I would bring Saint-Saens’ Carnival of Animals.

If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life, I would have ice cream sandwiches.

If I could have any superpower, I’d have the ability to breathe underwater.

My spirit animal is a wolf. 

On a rainy Sunday afternoon, I’d most likely be reading fantasy books at the library.
