Blog Tour: STORM - This/That with the Boys of Storm + Giveaway!

24 Apr 2012


Hey Everyone! Welcome to the second stop of the long-awaited STORM blog tour :) Today (or tomorrow- depends where you live :P) is the official release date for Brigid's magnificent YA debut! HOORAY! *throws confetti* Are we all excited? Make sure you go and grab a copy today, because this is definitely one of the  best 2012 debuts :) (It's certainly one of my all-time favourites!)

I hope you've all stopped by Lisa's blog where she interviewed the three main characters from Storm - Chris/Hunter/Becca. (It's hilarious, by the way! I, for one, couldn't stop laughing!) 

Now, I hope you're all giddy with excitement to meet the smokin' hot Merrick brothers & Hunter because they're here today for a quick This/That quiz! Read on :)

This/That



McDonald’s or KFC?

Hunter: KFC
Chris: McDonald’s
Hunter: This is why we don’t get along.
Chris: No, we don’t get along because you’re a tool.

In a girl, do you look for:
Cute or sexy?
Nick: Hi. Both. (Shirley: HI NICK!)
Gabriel: Depends on the day.

Blondes or Brunettes?
Chris: Brunettes
Gabriel: Don’t care, as long as she’s cute and sexy.

Shy or Outgoing?
Hunter: Outgoing
Nick: Shy

Eyes or Mouth?
Gabriel: Mouth
Chris: I’m not even going to follow that.

andd...just because I can’t resist asking:
Aussies or American?
Gabriel: I still don’t understand why “both” isn’t an option for any of these questions. Especially at the same time.
Hunter: It depends on the girl, not the country.

I know ALL of us FEMALE bloggers will be dying to know this one! Soo…
Boxers or briefs?
Chris: You can’t seriously expect us to answer that.
Gabriel: Here. We can pin Chris down so you can look.


***
Did you enjoy that? Don't you just love how Chris & Hunter banter all the time! 
And isn't Chris adorable?!? (He's hot, but...*pinches cheeks*) 
*GASP* Did you read NICK's response to the shy/outgoing question? HE PREFERS SHY GIRLS! *jumps around* Wow, I never thought the day would come when I'm actually glad I'm shy :)<3

    So did they pin Chris down so you could look? =P

    (LOL!!!)

    ReplyDelete
  40. I think we already covered this (one, two, three, TEN MILLION times!), but of course I'm super excited!!! :D And I agree wholeheartedly about Chris! I love my brooding boys and my hot boys but I always have to admit that the sweet boys top for me -- yet it sounds like Chris is sort of a mix of all three! x) Loooooooove himmmmmm sooooo muuuuuch (already)! <3

    Shirley, you and Nick would make such a cute couple! And I'm NOT just saying that so I can hug Chris on my own.. Hehe <3 Although I think your enthusiasm is always too contagious to make you shy, but maybe that's just me loving your guts out! :')

    ReplyDelete
  41. Oh goodness, Shirley! I choked from laughing at this: "Here. We can pin Chris down so you can look."

    Gabriel! ♥♥♥ I CANNOT explain how excited I am for Spark :D

    ReplyDelete
  42. The answer to "McDonalds or KFC" made me snort. :P

    ReplyDelete
  43. LOVE GABRIEL!! Though that would just be too weird for me because we have similar names :( But Nick likes Shy girls so WOOOOO! Its on!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. That was hilarious! Love these guys.

    ReplyDelete
  45. HAHA! That's hilarious. Short, but very entertaining. And thanks for the giveaway. :D
