Blog Tour: Come Marching Home, Pt. 2

 

Welcome back to the Come Marching Home blog tour! Today, we have an interview with two sets of siblings from the book; Ernst and Alfonse, and Franz and Ada! Don't forget to check out the official lineup and schedule! While you're doing that, be sure to take a look at the pre-order goodies!

-------

1. What’s the most embarrassing thing you ever did together?

Alfonse: *runs hand over face* You should probably take this.

Ernst: Well…there was that time when you were climbing a tree to impress a girl. I was supposed to stop her on the road and keep her occupied until you got ‘into position’ but instead you fell out of the tree and broke your arm.

Alfonse: Mom was mad.

Ernst: Secretly, she thought it was funny though.

2. If you had more funds/means than you do now, what would be the most extravagant thing you would buy/do?

Alfonse: I want my own car. But like, one of the speedsters. Sleek and maybe red.

Ernst: I’d like to travel. Kind of hard when a war is going on, but maybe someday I will. I’d love to take Ada to see some different places.

Alfonse: Of course you would.

3. What are some of your favorite holiday memories?

Ernst: The Midwinter Festival is always the best time of year. I remember how much fun we used to have as kids. The food, the parties, and the gifts.

Alfonse: I remember one year where we ate so much we fell asleep at the festival and had to be carried home. That was the year we got wooden swords.

Ernst: Which also injured you.

Alfonse: I’m just lucky to have a brother who is a healer, that’s all.

4. Thank you, Ernst and Alfonse. On to Franz and Ada! What is one bad habit you have that you think the other doesn't know about?

Franz: Ada chews her nails.

Ada: I do not!

Franz: You only say that because you thought I didn’t know about it!

Ada: Well, you never clean your room. It’s a disaster! And you always leave your socks in the bathroom.

Franz: I can’t take a bath with them on.

Ada: They smell terrible!

5. What is your favorite holiday food?

Ada: Apple torte. Really anything with apples. Our village has some of the best apples that the Seidels grow in their orchard.

Franz: Agreed. Though nothing really beats apple cider and caramel popcorn. We only ever really get that on the Midwinter Festival so it’s really special.

6. How would you describe your appearance? How about the appearance of your sibling?

Franz: *sighs* Ada is too pretty, I am always having to beat the village boys away to save my precious sister.

Ada: That is a lie, I would say I’m moderate. And I am only interested in Ernst anyway. The other boys know that. *Blushes*

Franz: Well, how would you describe me, then? Ruggedly handsome? A real catch?

Ada: Frogface.

Franz: -_-
