The Book Devouring Horde Quiz

Blog, Fun POST A COMMENT by

“I heard Realtors have to disclose if the house is haunted,” Leon said.
I looked at Mom in the driver’s seat. She gave me an amused smile. No help there.
“Apparently only four states require you to disclose paranormal activity,” Arabella reported. “Nine states require you to notify the buyer if a death occurred on the premises. And Texas does neither.”
“There were no deaths on the premises. Nobody died in the house, so it can’t possibly be haunted,” I told them.
“How do you know nobody died?” Leon asked.
“Because I checked the records,” Bern rumbled.
“That doesn’t mean anything,” Arabella said.
Clearly, there were two teams in this vehicle: Team Facts and Team Facts Be Damned.”

Andrews, Ilona. Ruby Fever, Hidden Legacy 6. Avon HarperCollins, 2022. Kindle edition, page 3

The Book Devouring Horde, the name for Ilona Andrews fans, stand united as a force to belove. Our fluffiness lies in the way we balance each other’s strengths and weaknesses, quirks and extremes. We remind each other of what is real and what is absolutely, gloriously NOT. And in the end, all that matters is that we all come together in appreciation for the same wonderful books.

But a quick stroll in any BDH comment section will quickly make you understand the reality of the Baylors conversation above. Following several requests and fan group polls, let’s find out which brand of chaos you bring to the Horde table!

Take the quiz below and embrace your destiny.*

*Disclaimer: not your actual destiny. As usual, the results are just for fun because I’m not the real Sorting Hat, I just look like it #wrinklelife. Please don’t take the quiz if this month has taken everything out of you and it could make you real-life upset. Hug(h)s!
Also, the quiz plugin doesn’t play nicely with the newsletter. If you’re getting this in your email, you can click here to come straight to the blog and take it.

  5. Team Dushegub… I am apparently one who devours books, facts, cake… (ok, I added the cake part. sue me, I have a craving.)

  8. Awwwwww!! I am Team Chalant. How wonderful and resonant too. 🥰 sitting in all my fluffiness like a space chicken on a perch.

    Also, my usual mantra for dealing with tough times (Fear is the mind killer etc) has been officially replaced by the one about the Void.

  9. Team Facts here — I may be retired, but I’m a reference librarian forever! Thanks, ModR, this was fun.

  12. This is great, I’m really curious to see the other categories and how the numbers come out across the horde spectrum haha!

    • Second time I took the quiz, I became part of team Dushegub. Nah, I want to still be Chalant.

      Inner peace, inner peace, in inner peace…stop that racket! No, I don’t wish to discuss! Chernobog, grant me patience.

  15. Team Facts – no surprise, I guess. (I am old after all, and just hoping to live long enough to see all of what’s planned for Kate and co. …)

  17. I was torn between answers on a couple of these, so I did it twice. First time I came out Team Dushegub (yes, I totally devour all the books). Second time I was Team Facts.

    By the way, I’m running short of reading material again, and Audible’s end of the year stats made comments about how often I re-listen to audiobooks. Can we have a new recommendation thread (or two), Mod R? Please & thank you

  21. I can’t stop laughing!!! I am team Chalant. This is so me…. You are happy to go with the flow, but you would like to know what time the flow starts and how many pairs of socks you need to pack for it.

    Thank you Mod R. Yep, still laughing!!!!

  24. Go Team Facts!! I try not to slip into wanted facts to often but sometimes it is fun to dream wildly. This was a great quiz. I might steal this idea and tweak it for my students in reference to grading. LOL. some of their ideas are wild. Thank you for a fun lunch on Friday.
    PS This is the only writer blog I follow and it is the best.

    • I think the Dushegubs actually are very calm and factual about their… suggestions… to discuss 😂

    • I don’t think it means you’re not calm. simply willing to devour. some may devour loudly, some may be sneaky, some may be persistent… many many ways and things to devour. feed me Seymour!

  28. Team Facts – which isn’t really surprising but I’d like to be a dreamer too….

    this is because we did the poll in the FB group, right?

  30. Team Facts are King! I’m kinda surprised but it does work for me. My husband came out Team Chalant!

  31. I’m Team Chalant and I NEED this artwork on a shirt. Mug. Stickers. Bookmark. Mousepad. Book bag.

    Thank you for the quiz ModR. You know the BDH so well. 😘

    • It was on a shirt back when the merch store was open. But there’s no news of that happening again.

      • Yes, I sadly bought the smaller version of the sticker and wish I had the larger one. LOL Oh well, I can live in hope! (and a tiny bit of denial about the store never opening again, even if I sympathize with the reasons)

  36. Great quiz, Mod R, thanks for the laughs! As a now confirmed member of Team Facts are King, I was hoping there might be a way for you to give us the breakdown of what percentage of the Horde ended up in each group after the quiz. My curiosity needs more facts please!

  37. Team Facts are King. I just retired from a job that required a lot of researching, so that makes sense.

    Looking forward to Maud’s wedding… (In-Law pain and humiliation INCOMING!!!)

    And even though I’m Team FAK, I still don’t like those three words….

  43. Cute! I’m team facts and I loved the final comment on probably believing Klaus was actually a dragon hehehehehe. Going to go run thru a few other choices now and see what I get. Looking forward to more snark. Thanks!

  45. Thank you very much for the quiz! This was FUN 🙂
    I’m Team Facts are king. Not surprising.
    If it is not too much trouble, could you please post the different outcomes?

  50. Ok, found team chalant and team dushegub in my next two forays. This is really a cute quiz! Thanks again, ModR!

  52. Team Chalant! Extremely fluffy! and yes, I do refresh the blog once a day, without fail 😜 Thanks Mod R, this was fun!

  53. Me: Team Dushegub?! Who wrote this?! How dare they? I would never!

    Proposal #37: New Spin-offs and Why They Are Necessary.

    Me: Okay well sure that does describe me pretty well….

  56. Team Chalant all the way, baby.

    Also, not to be nitpicky (I lie, I’m totally nitpicky), but shouldn’t the new graphic have Barsa Barsa not Basra Basra? I do like that graphic, though. Especially the puppy eyes on the left side.

  57. Cackling. Thank you Mod R for the silly quiz. I will be here on Team Chalant trying to keep that approach in other aspects of my life toooo.

  61. Team Facts are King! And as such, I would like to see a blog post with all the different teams, their wonderful descriptions, and a breakdown of where the horde lands 🙂

  63. Team Chalant! Behold me and my chalantitude. All the chalantness. Full of chalantry.

    But you know I’ll take probably take it again . . .just for funsies. 🙂

  67. Team Chalant!

    And I do need to know how many pairs of socks to pack – because I’m moving! I’m trying to decide if I need my “real” copies or if my e books will tide me over well enough during the time between (between houses, between jobs, between …)

    I will try harder to be fluffier.

    PS – Mod R – your quizzes are the only online quizzes I take!

  69. Jack Camarine spin off????? Plus Gaston???? this was an option????? I just re-read all the edge books I AM READY.

    p.s team dushegub, I do not wish to discuss 😉

  74. Mod R – I was just on Graphic Audio site downloading KD8 and see that they have added KD10 – Magic Triumphs for preorder. It wasn’t there a couple of weeks ago when I ordered KD9. Just thought I would mention it.

  79. I’m a tiny bit jealous..I was one of the orders that got screwed up, so I didn’t get my chalant merch.

    (a wee bit mournful), but I did get the nechist stuff! yay!

  85. This quiz was hysterical. 🤣🤣🤣Thanks, Mod R! I end up in Team Facts, but I can be Team Facts Be Damned when it comes to the next Innkeeper books. Loved the Dushegab’s proposal for more Innkeeper books. 😁

  87. so apparently I’m team CHALANT trying so hard to be good…but looking for all the crumbs 😆😆😆😆

  89. Woohoo, I am Team Dushegub! Do you wish to discuss? (But I’m sure I could also be an honorary member of Team Facts Be Damned 🙂 )

  92. I find it absolutely hilarious that no one is fessing up to being Team Facts be Damned, when the answers for it were mostly based on actual comments of the BDH 😀

    • A lot of them are in the beginning of the comments. They’re sticking together. 😉😁😂

    • Over dinner the other night, the discussion had clear divisions between Team Facts and Team Facts Be Damned. My teens were divided between these teams. I wish I knew which character was embodying Team Facts Be Damned b/c I can envision the Space Chicken for Team Facts.

  95. I don’t know what the other options are, but team Dushegub seems right. What else is one supposed to do with a book but devour it?

    • I tried a second time, changing a few answers, hoping for Team Facts. However, I just got Dushegub again. I guess my fate is to devour.

  97. They thought Hugh #1 was going to be an April Fool’s joke. The joke was on them – and I hope they made a lot of money, since it’s a wonderful story.

  99. I am Team Chalant. Definitely, packing extra socks and snacks while I go with the flow. I am a Library Assistant and enjoy research too. I’m curious to see the descriptions of the other outcomes. They sound like fun.

  100. mod r – thanks for this. I’m team chalant. when everyone had had a chance at this, would you publishall the different team summaries?

    I loved how you had written the one for my crew

    I’d love to read the others but don’t want to retake test and fake answers to get to see their descriptions. thank you! Jo

  101. Team Chalant!
    And honestly, the description? Well done, Mod R! I might have to try to get all the teams just to read all the descriptions and learn more about my fluffy BDH friends!

  102. Just hanging here with the Space Chickens, waiting for my Clean Sweep graphic #2 to be delivered…

  104. Team Facts be damned ! Because the answers were so fun 🤣 and even if I’m not one to comment very often, I love to read all the comments at the end of the day so I’m fully onboard for unleashing the full potential of the comment section !!
    Lots of fun with this quizz, thank you !!

    • oooh, not good enough to die young. LOVE it!! I would like to append my application for wrinklelife please and thank you.

  107. I think this is the first quiz ever where I didn’t have to hesitate between choices on more than one or two questions, and didn’t even bother to go back and retake to see whether I got a different answer. So funny that everyone asking for a breakdown of the stats is TFAK – please add my request to the tally!

  109. Mod R does it again, thank you!

    Team Chalant, huh who knew I was fluffy, though I do like soft jumpers.

  115. Loved the quiz but you should never have written “we’d probably believe Klaus was actually a dragon.”, the Horde will go mental or at least Team Facts Be Damned will.

    Will be sitting back sipping tea while the chaos commences. TooDooLoo.

  116. I am team Chalant and Proud! 😂
    Funny thing is I am the most patient one in my family. I tend to only lose my cool for IA books. Hubby takes the brunt of my “when will and why will and how will and did you know and Kate said or Rogan would never”, so I dont have to come to the blog or pages with my thoughts

  121. Love this! And I totally agree with my results—Team Chalant! Therefore, Mod R you are better than the sorting !!

  122. Team Chalant here, I feel like I got captured perfectly, where are my emotional support fries or battleaxe

  125. I got Team Dushegub and I wondered if I got the wrong team. And then I remembered that I REALLY wanted a High Snippet today and yeah, that tracks. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    “ You belong to Team Dushegub.
    The Dushegub Division DEVOURS the books, tearing through stories like hungry, page-shredding beasts.”

    Ps. It’s fine. I’ll w**t. I have p*tience. I’ll just stare into the abyss of my never-ending laundry, the void of a reading slump, the misery of no snippet…..

    (Yeah, I’m being over dramatic. Team Dushegub is ever-hungry and Ilona Andrews are the best authors ever. Also, thank you for the quiz ModR. It was hilarious. We’ll meet again next week! ❤️)

    • *Hugh.

      But considering the dopamine rush snippets give, maybe autocorrect is unto something. 🤔

  126. Team Dushegub – Devour book! Book good! More book! LOL this pleases me. Thanks for this diversion!

  127. I am evidently on Teams Facts Are King, Team Send the Authors Hugs, and Team Devour Whenever Possible!😂😂🤣💜💜💜

  129. I’m Team Facts are King. A little sad not to be Team Chalant since I’ve got the t-shirt and everything but it is what it is as we factmuffins say. . .

  130. I’m still waiting for Hugh’s book 2. I started this whole journey through all of your works with the first book, I was my intro. I’ve reread, and I’m still waiting for book 2.
    I’m trying to be patient.

  135. I couldn’t contain myself when I saw your disclaimer, it was so funny! I am Team Chalant, but then, I bought the t-shirt (who knew it was a team t-shirt). And how did you know how often I refresh the blog?

  136. I am Team Facts. Thank you for this quiz Mod R! I’d also like to thank you for the words ‘Jack Camarine spinoff’ in the 5th question. Even though it was a joke, just reading those words made me happy. He is one of my favourite characters in the Edge series and I was really glad to read about him and the rest of the gang as adults in the Innkeeper series.
    I know his book is not a possibility. But I can hope to at least get to know what happens with him (like George and Sophie’s story) or even read about him as a character in any of the next books.

  137. Team Dushegub. I’m normally a go with the flow kind of person, but there’s something about books from House Andrews that brings our my inner Dushegub and I just want to devour all the words. Right now. Yum!

  139. I wanted to choose 2 different replies on the Julie/Saimon question. BURN and ‘Derek, most likely’. I went with Derek but I was strongly tempted to BURN.

  140. Took the quiz a second time. I was trying to get on Team Dushegub but I ended up on Team Chalant again. Darn it.

    The possible teams are Team Facts, Team Facts-be-Damned, Team Dushegub, and Team Chalant? I think those are the only ones I’ve seen in the comments. Did I miss any?

  144. I am solidly #TeamFactsbeDamned! Knew it, bcse thats where my people are.

    Here’s a TFbD, I heard Curran gets his moat and the Pender forest kids get some inflatable inner tubes and use it as a lazy river😋 Conlan, of course is in charge and asks a few of the merchildren to play catch the human.

    • Maybe there’s a secret underground river that joins Curran’s moat with Hugh’s moat? That way visits can be done in secret. 🧐😁😂😂😂😂😉🚤

  152. Team Facts here, thank you!
    Was wondering if all the other non-Team Facts were freaking out that there was no Hugh snippet today. LOL!

  153. Team METAL ROSE OR ELSE! Also if innkeepers ends, I would definitely be okay with that BEEEEECCCCCAAAAAUUUUSSSSSEEEEEE then maybe we can get a story on how Sophie and George FINALLY got together! I was one who emailed house Andrews when they ended the edge series and I was devastated because I wanted so much more of George and Jack. When they came back in appearance in the innkeepers I was ecstatic. Then we got the bombshell of Gaston telling the story of George and Sophie and while Gaston did tell a very good story…🤤 I need more!

  155. Where is my Hugh day????
    I did the quiz but I was in need of my sword fighting Roman and my magic welding leading Lady of Castle.

  162. Yay I’m Team Facts are King!! *Jazz fins!!!*
    I wouldn’t have minded being on Team Chalant though. : )

  164. Team Facts Are King.
    I have always felt a connection with Catalina and found her to be the most relatable character. It made me smile to read that bit of the description. So. True.
    Thank You for the quiz. It was lots of fun.

  165. Oh, I am Crestfallen (pun) I am teams mostly facts are… ? Unrelated (because facts ARE). My 4 cats never leave my fully fenced yard, but in the 3 years i have been here I have been gifted 3 snakes (non venomous, released safely away from yard and cats), 1 rat during start of hurricane!!, rode it out released as hurricane winding down using mop handle to transfer outdoors safely, 4 birds, 3 safely minus a few feathers, 1 a nestling sent to wild life rehab, 1 baby rabbit!! safely contained in doors (awaiting play time with cats sigh, safely released I got to it in time), multitudes of lizards, chameleons palmetto bugs and such like… most rescued and returned outdoors (lizards missing tails of course). and now, now? A flying squirrel. Insanely cute things by the way. Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLTGffdXqBg These are Only seen at night but usually out and about in the tree tops by day. Rescued tried to feed over night, then released this evening on a tree. My neighbors watched as I did so, I lifted up the cute one wrapped in a towel, he / she swarmed up the tree. I was told 3 heads popped up in the tree as he began the ascent! Score. Probably his home tree/family up there… Moral of story is: cats are incredibly good predators. I mean, these guys NEVER leave the yard! We have coyotes so…

    • You know that one of your cats needs to up their game! Lol, 3 snakes and 4 cats?! 😂

      My daughter has cats and frequently informs me that when you are gifted, you are beloved by them😊

  166. Team Dushegubs… ^^;;

    Ok. I’m going to bed now. And I will start the day tomorrow with a nice cup of soothing Earl Grey in my Dushegub mug…

  167. I love being Team Chalant. I might even be patient and listen to an audiobook or three between releases. But WHEN is Hughday again?

    • My first thought with the “not bad for a Derek/ Ascanio shipper” was uh are we shipping Julie with Derek or Julie with Ascanio? If we’re shipping Ascanio with Derek, um there will be a fight that makes the Midnight games be sweetness and light. 🧐🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎

  169. You do not fear spoilers—they only make you stronger!

    I love that. My dear ones and fellow readers fear spoilers, even tiny ones. But I march bravely forward. Because it is the journey and the people we meet on the road. Like a certain dragon….
    “The road goes on forever and the party never ends!”

  172. Team Facts is King.
    I’m not sure why I’m surprised; I’ve been waiting on an author to finish a series close to 20 years now (and no, it’s not George RR Martin). Until they say otherwise, it’s still in the works! 🙂

  173. So fun! Needed this today, thank you for the lighthearted enjoyment. #TeamFactsAreKing for life!

  176. So much fun, giggled throughout! Once again ModR demonstrates she has a finger on the Hordes’ pulse.

  179. Facts are King! Also, Saiman needs a meet-cute with that old auntie-goddess who jas been mentoring Julie, or just make him a clone of himself for a HEA.

  180. Team Dushegub

    Ok, guilty. I’m still waiting for the
    continuation of the story of the boy who got closed up in a cave until he figured out everything about the cave and then broke out.

    I have a philosophical question.
    Our writers are so talented and compelling and the world building is so convincing, that I often find myself reliving favorite parts or visualizing a continuation. Remember how James Smitz wrote about energy creatures that believed humans were a product of their dreams (Witches of Karras). Is it possible that TRUE BARDS are people who tap into alternative worlds and report them so faithfully that readers can imagine them completely?
    I would LOVE to think Gertrude Hunt exists somewhere. It made me start wondering about Calendia. Does the Inn do her hair and costumes or does she have a massive closet with all her different jewels and clothes? I can readily see tendrils helping her form her more fancy hair arrangements.
    Heehee! Thinking about this really helps with stress.
    Eternal gratitude to you all.

  181. Thanks for another fun quiz Mod R! You really have a talent for creating these quizzes!
    I’m happily Team Chalant and love reading the comments from those of the other teams.

  182. Yeah, go team facts be damned.

    I’ve been shredded with the spaghetti whip. Mod R and the authors have deleted me. If someone locked magically in a basement can slap a realtor in the head and butt, and throw her shoe into the driveway, when the realtor is upstairs, he has magic. The facts be damned.

  187. ah, so this is where i stored all my Chalance this week. goodness knows I wasn’t carrying any around in the real world. real world me was a dushegub wielding a facts hammer.

  188. Team Facts, a former HRManager, we only saw employees when their hair was on fire. Full moons and Mondays were dreaded. Fun quiz!

  189. Team Chalant!

    But since I’m currently reading Ken Liu’s translation and commentary/inner thoughts on the Dao De Jing, my chalance may partly be due to its influence. Must consider.

  190. Creeeek, hisss, hisss, knock!!! Yasssss my book pretties😈😈😈

    Thanks for the fun tonight was a rough one here in Philly.

  193. Thanks, Mod R! Fun quiz! Loved so many of the options.

    Team Chalant. Engineer in my first life, but I did work at the town library part time for many years, starting at age 14. So I might have some Team Facts leanings.

    I feel like Team Chalant should have a team chant: Fluffy! Fluffy!
    Anyone have other Team Cha(la)nt ideas?

  194. “You are happy to go with the flow, but you would like to know what time the flow starts and how many pairs of socks you need to pack for it.”

    😂😂 Story of my life, ModR, story of my life 😂😂
    Thank you, this was fun!

  195. I took it twice. Second time I choose the alternative answer on all the ones on which I was torn between. Team Chalant both times :D. It is so. Mod R – You are a quiz making genius!

  196. I love this so much! Thank you, thank you Mod R!!!

    Team Chalant here! I have the chalant sticker on the back of my phone! Yes, I check on the blog almost every day… knowing how many pairs of socks to pack is soooo important. And the support fries!!!

    Of course, then I had to go back and try the quiz again, and I let out some of my hidden emotions and suddenly I was on Team Dushegub! Yes, I devour the books! I listen to them on audio while also reading an e-book and ordering hard copies! Do you wish to discuss?!

    I tried the quiz one more time and suddenly I’m on Team Facts be Damned! The werewolf on Auul under the Moon! I wrap myself in the tattered cloak of hope…

    So much fun!!!

    It’s clear to me that normally I live in Team Chalant, but if I let loose I’m Team Dushegub! And if I throw all caution to the wind, I’m Team Facts be Damned!

    You are so good at these quizzes ModR! I really needed this.

    I am now going back to reading Sweep in Peace. Who will next be eliminated? (I know I’ve already read it at least 3 times, but still, the suspense!) I will be fluffy and chalant and w**t for the next book (sigh…) no matter how long it takes. I won’t think about the series ending (Team Facts be Damned here – It doesn’t have to end! Helen and Gerard will be found, they will find a new inn, they will end up saving the universe from the horrible monster – who will not be named – with Dina and Sean and Maud and Arland, and little Helen and and and….).

    Um, excuse me, just had a moment, now thinking of the Void…

    <3 <3 <3

    • Just for fun, I took the quiz again to see if I could get Team Facts and I did, but let’s be truthful here, I am not and never will be a true member of Team Facts are King!

      I could never follow the creed of:

      “No release date yet” means exactly that—not an apocalyptic prophecy.

      but it is an apocalyptic prophecy!
      ok, big breath, Picture the void, feel the void…

  197. Mod R, you have OUTDONE yourself with this quiz! Thank you for one of the most entertaining quizzes I have ever taken. You are a treasure!

    And the comments it has inspired are priceless…

    By the way, how did you know that I had always wanted to be a Space Chicken?

  198. Team Facts! This is truly me. I’ll watch and wait and check the comment section for other people’s theories.

  199. I love it! Team facts! Catalina is definitely my role model. I signed up for Viki because of the Baylors.

  203. Team Chalant.
    So, as English is my 2nd language and I only knew nonchalant, I looked it up. And found on Merriam Webster:
    „Is chalant the opposite of nonchalant?
    There is no word chalant in English. Nonchalant comes from an Old French word nonchaloir, meaning “to disregard.” That word comes from non-, meaning “not,” + chaloir, meaning “to concern.” If you want a word that means the opposite of nonchalant, both concerned and interested can do the job.“

    Are we stealth 🥷 ninja team? How cool!
    Anyway, I appear to also have some Team facts aspects…

  205. Apparently Team Chalant has all the patience, but I still have the book date alerted and absolutely nothing planned for the day. Lol

  208. you always put a smile on my face!
    what a privilege to have found and belong to the BDH 🙂
    greetings from sunny Germany

  210. ROFLMAO (You know I’m old when I pull that initialism out of the hat.) I’m Team Dushegub. (Laughing quietly so as not to wake the husband, but tears are falling I swear.) And yet, yes, those suggestions for novellas and short story anthologies, and inviting people to play in your InnKeeper world like Mercedes Lackey lets people play in her Valdemar world…What’s so wrong with that? (big-eyed, fluffy lees look of innocence).

  213. Team Facts.

    Except I rarely comment because I read my email first thing and these arrive during the night. Then life gets I the way…

    But I do read all the posts and Hugh is the only audio book I have ever listened to – spent 6mths on a committee and I can’t read on a train – and enjoyed without reading the book first. And a truth… I can’t stand Kate. Which is a compliment…. each story, each character is different. Doesn’t mean you have to like them all.

    Why isn’t Klaus a dragon??? 😀

  216. Team Chalant! Thank you, that was fun!

    I try to live a normal life between books, snippets, posts.

    By the way, does anyone else think of Cornelius and ferrets EVERY time they use their clothes dryer? Or is it just me?

    • Not just you.

      Also, years ago, a friend of a friend had a squirrel accidentally come down that vent into her dryer. She opened the dryer & the squirrel jumped out.

  217. THANK YOU Mod R, great idea! I did the quiz five times and landed on four different teams. But I won’t tell. No spoilers! Can’t wait to do it another five times 🙂

  218. Team Facts are King!!!
    Though, there were other answers that sounded very close to my nature, so I think I’ve got a healthy mix of Chalant & Dushegub in me too.
    This was so fun!!
    I may go back and retake it with my secondary choices… who knows, there may be some Facts Be Damned within me too!

  219. Great to know that I stand with Team Chalant! Thank you for every word you write. I have re-read all the series many times and I love the dramatised versions now available on audible. Thank you from the UK.

  221. I noticed “laugh my butt off” was not an optional answer for the Julie/pervert question.😆

  222. Team Chalant and I feel so seen! Is anyone really tracking how often I refresh the site? Hahaha it’s not a good look for my sanity

  223. 2nd time around, I was Team Chalant (Team Facts are King, first)…
    I love these windows into my soul!!

  224. Team Chalant!! I do have tendencies to the other teams but realize the quality of work produced takes time and numerous edits to be the perfection that is the Andrews’ art.

  225. “You belong to Team Dushegub.”

    What a surprise…./s

    Considering I devour newly released books like a starving man devours steaks.

  226. Could somebody please tell me what show/movie that pizza box surprise fire scene is from, pretty please!

  227. I am on “Team Facts are King”.

    But I have to say, if someone from our beloved Horde HAS ever theorized that Klaus is actually a dragon, then wouldn’t it follow he is also-know-as Puffles?

  230. This quiz was a DELIGHT!! Ty, Mod R! I laughed, I smiled, I realized that sometimes I do interpret random things as omg an Arabella Tri-Trilogy (I know what I said!) but mostly have my feet firmly planted on the Roost of Facts beside my good buddy First Scholar.

  232. I may be Team Facts Are King but there’s nothing that says Klaus COULDN’T be a dragon, right?

  233. Well, I suppose everyone needs a hobby. If this is yours I’m ok with it. No cereal killing. Never touch the stuff anyway.

  234. Yes. I’m Team Chalant and yes, I want the next book asap please. I do pride myself on patience but I need escape from the real world. I’m trying other authors as directed but they don’t really pull me into the world like Team Andrews.

  235. Team Chalant for the win! But also Team Brain-Short-Circuit with that Saiman ship question. 😵‍💫LOL, gotta give it to you with that one Mod R, truly diabolical! 😉

  238. Poll Question #3: What do you do when a snippet is archived?

    E: Dig through my saved emails to find the snippet in question because I save everything. Book Devouring *Hoard.

    Team Dushegub!

  240. Team Facts are King- but I am now thinking about how cool it would be if Klaus was a dragon… tho it wouldn’t make sense in ‘verse.

    Would it? 🙂

  245. Lol Team Dushegub
    First reaction, not sure I like being related to a race of psychotic tree. 🤔
    Second reaction, could we discuss a name change. 😂🤣
    Nevermind, Team Dushegub it is for life!

  246. First time commenting- probably cause I’m Team Chalant to a fault, but don’t let that fool you. I devour with the best of them… in my comfy socks of course.

    This was fun. Thank you.

  248. oooooh dragons….chuckle. I promise to sit quietly on my precious collection of House Andrews stories heroically controlling myself. My intrusive thoughts are my own to wrangle.

  252. Team Facts are King!
    I like to think I am patiently waiting for the next HA book…though sometimes it’d very difficult to be patient or Chalant. I do love these quizzes!
    Thank you! This was fun. 🤩❤️

  256. Team Dushegub in the house!

    I’m going to read some short stories from Elm Jed today, but I’m over here still waiting on Arabella.. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  257. I love House Andrew’s skills/books/ideology. I’ve had some big heath issues this past couple of years and first kindle then audiobooks versions of the books got me thru. Thank you so much.

  258. This was so much fun and had a lovely ending. This kind of thing is why we love you so much and are so loyal: you see us and appreciate our crazy. Most of us are perfectly boring in our daily lives, but here? Here we can be FANS!!!!!!! And have no regrets

  259. Nice way to start my weekend!
    Really enjoyed this and also waiting for Arabella’s trilogy 😂

  261. Team Facts are King.
    Not surprised ^^
    But I loved that we are represented by the space chickens lol
    They do have wildly combative arguments, so there’s that ^^

  262. Team Chalant!!! This lil quiz made me so happy! Thank you for the fun and I’ll be w*aiting, p*tiently, kinda!

  265. I guess I’m Team Facts are King. I devour the books but have not yet gone insane. Sigh…still I wish they came faster and the storyline favorites never ended. We would miss them too much. 😳

  266. Team facts. Saiman ship was not a preferred moment and shall be erased from all memory.
    And of course we want to find out what the heck happened to Dina’s parents. The cross-overs are glorious and fun and shall clearly carry on forever, but not before Arabella settles things, and Arabella-Augustine is a ship I’d be willing to watch play out.

  272. lol. fun quiz. not sure if I’m actually where its put me. 🤣 luv snippets, find new books that way… snippet missing. no problem.. I’ve saved all the emails to reread. iver and over. always sadden at the end of a really good series, I morn them for a bit.. wait a few months … and start over. 🥰🥰🥰

  274. Thanks for the entertainment! You are the best of moderators. Team Facts, laughing all the way.

  278. So, what are the various team possibilities? I question whether Team Chalant is worthy of me.

  279. Great fun! Thank you for the quiz. I am Team Facts are King. I too have a heavy science background. The result is not surprising. I have mad respect ✊ for Mod R and House Andrews. Peace along the journey!

  281. Hahahaha. Fun fun, very fun. Thank you, I needed help getting out of bed and this kept my eyes open long enough to do it. My social plans will be smoothed by the resulting consciousness. Also, hello fellow brethren of team Facts Are King 🐓🏅

  283. Some bad things happening in real life (nasty diagnosis for my future health in november), but also good things (got my bachelors certificate in welfare and child rearing education.
    That fun little quiz was really nice. Thanks from a team of the Team Facts are King

    • uumm… wtf did the autocorrupt do to my text? some words seem to be used at places where they should not be and others are missing…

      • maybe they’re messing with you? looks okay, but I don’t know what you think you wrote so there is that 😂😂
        Sorry about health trouble that’s scary, Hugs and prayers things change for the better.

  288. Love all Ilona Andrews books and I am anticipating follow up on many series!!! Enjoy reading her blog:)

  289. Team Facts all the way. I understand the authors have a life and I’m grateful for their writing. Their words have brought me so much joy, and although I’d be incredibly sad if they ever stopped writing, I just want them to have all the happiness in the world. They deserve to live their best life on their terms. At the same time, knowing that I have more books to look forward to is very comforting! 🙂

  290. Team facts are king… though I’m assured by my kids and family, I can wax extremely enthusiastically within those factual borders and pre-orders and snippets are the foundation of my calm.

  293. Team Facts Are King here(even though prior to this quiz I would have thought I’d be in the Facts Be Damned camp, just because it’s so much fun!)

    Oh what the heck: I will gladly be in either camp as long as I can keep reading IA books! 😂

  294. Your opening made me go back to my favorite all-time series and family, I will re-read the entire series (again) and still end feeling disappointed and lost after the last book. What happens to Arabella, and does she have a thing for Michel? Will Leon find someone who can make him happy and keep him in check? What about my favorite child, Matilda?

    Please, please, please give us more soon. I’m 83 years old and worried I may never know what happens to my extended family, (Yes, I’m trying a guilt trip as incentive to work on the Bailer family soon. If this doesn’t work, I will come up with some other guilt-inducing comment to help you along.)

    I love all your books and re-read them constantly. I really am 83 years old, which proves your appeal to a very wide spectrum of readers. Thanks for all the hours of enjoyment,

    • 👍 😁 Keep up the wonderful work! let us know if you need help 😂😂😂you have a horde backing you

  298. Loved the quiz You captured the dilemas of the Hord. I laughed and laughed. Thank you. I needed the laugh after this week.

    • I think all of us do regardless of which team we’re affiliated with thanks to the quiz.

      That’s an “oh my gosh where did that come from?” boomerang.

    • yeah EWWWW and then…… Derek is going to kick his A** 😁👍 I couldn’t stop laughing at most every answer. So wonderful! Needed the giggles.

  301. You are a member of Team Facts are King.
    Your not wrong! Thanks for this fun diversion. Sending hugs to House Andrews and the hard working Mods, from a cold corner of Canada.

  305. “You are happy to go with the flow, but you would like to know what time the flow starts and how many pairs of socks you need to pack for it.”
    O.M.G! This is me to a T!!!

  306. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! To Mod-R – Wrangler of the Horde; Benevolent Provider of the Shinys (be they Quizzes or other Words to be Devoured); Long-Suffering Answerer of all things Schedule related

    Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! To Ilona and Gordon of House Andrews – providers of So.Many.Words that are compiled together in emotionally soothing and entertaining sequences that can be read / reread / relistened / re-devoured without any loss of enjoyment!

    Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! to the BDH for being granted the truly rare privilege to be in the Horde with All.The.Wonderful.Words provided by such benevolent authors!

    Firmly Team Chalant here – was in an I/T job for a long time where so many things were an emergency that needed to be solved yesterday if not sooner. Asking me every hour if something was fixed yet was NOT helpful – so I can relate (slightly) to the consternation of people clamoring with unreasonable expectations regarding content that is produced from the depths of the soul (not even a parameter based technical problem….)

    Sending peace, love and safety to all and those you love!

  308. So I am, in fact, a librarian, LOL – which means I’m Team Facts are King, which the quiz bears me out on. Cool. Destiny.

  309. team facts here. thank you for giving me a chuckle first thing in the morning. xoxo from a dedicated fan in oz

  314. I love it haha I’m team facts are king. can we see the aggregate results of what everyone got on the test? I’m curious about how strong each faction is in the BDH

  318. I was sorted. Team Dushegub.
    The Dushegub Division DEVOURS the books, tearing through stories like hungry, page-shredding beasts.

    I feel like this is fair and I’m okay with it.

  321. So Fun. Thank you. (Fact be Damned House) P.S. dark web/ ask precious.
    Sometimes..now precious give us..
    Did someone see s one eye bird or was it a ..?🤭

  323. In the comments, someone coined “chalantry”. Mod R, for those of us struggling to cling to our chalantry in the face of current difficulties, huzzah! Impossible to complete the quiz without at least a smile, if not an outright chuckle. Many thanks!
    Also, during Friday Innkeeper snippets we had Frinndays; was this quiz posted on a Frizday?

  327. Facts are a construct! They have been created by those who need to find structure out of chaos to feel better about their lack of control. Yes I do feel sorry for Team Fact…bless their hearts.

  328. “You stand with Team Chalant.”

    Totally Team Chalant… please mum, just a wee bit of a snippet?

  330. Klaus was a dragon?!?!

    Haha I knew which way my results were going. But I cackled long and loud at the April Fools Day prank announcement…

  331. Team Chalant! “You are happy to go with the flow, but you would like to know what time the flow starts and how many pairs of socks you need to pack for it.” – how is this so accurate 😭😭😂

  334. i don’t know if i can wait until 2026 for maggie… please, forget all that publishing schedule idiocy and give it to us, NOW!

  335. I really wanted to answer a bunch of the extreme ones because I was laughing so hard at them! Authorlords you are AWESOME maybe even ….. AWESOME SAUCE
    amazingly enough I actually behaved and am a proud member of team Facts are King. But I really think we MUST DISCUSS!😂😂😂😂

  338. Mod R, my hat is off to you. If you penned this quiz, I have mad respect for your effort and talent. It was spot on and funny as hell. I appreciate you. House Andrews is luck y to have you.

  339. lol.. I (Team Chalant) had my mother in law (Team Facts be Damned) and my niece (Team Facts are King) take the quiz and we had so much fun. It’s crazy how we legitimately ended up in 3 different teams.

  340. I love, love, love your books. I have re read them several times. When I know a new book on a series is imminent I will read the other books in the series again. I just can’t get enough of Team Andrews

  341. We’re Team Dushegub! We find this hilarious and on point. Proposal: Teach us of the other teams so we may devour— creek, creek, rather- understand! Do you wish to discuss?

  343. I assumed I’d be Team Facts but am Team Dushegub. Kinda like the worst being someone who is High Maintenance who believes she is Low Maintenance. But I will say I do NOT want to encourage the authors to prove us wrong (a la Hugh April’s food joke which of course I now totally buy) by stating it is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to rehabilitate Saiman sufficiently to make him a worthy partner for Julie. MAYBE a reluctantly proud mentor — heck, she learned from Roland too.

  344. It would be nice if all four possible answers were posted so people who have been firmly sorted into one category can see what the other teams are exactly.

    (What? You say I can just make different answers to see what they other three are? You don’t expect me to LIE, do you?)

  346. i got team dushgub three times, and team chalant on the fourth. so i’m a strong dushgub with a little side of chalant. i am a DEVOURER of books. i read around 200 a year.

    thank you mod r for the fun and entertaining quiz!

  348. Yep I’m happily Damned! Knew it before I took the quiz 😁
    Impatiently hoping on Jack’s story, whilst theorising how a Cerise/William, Maud/Arland & Julie/Derek book would go. And we might as well throw in Augustine too.

  349. Teams Facts Are King

    With the exception of the one unlikely ship I will 100% sink for ( Cornelius and Augustine could be a really interesting couple…). I know it’s unlikely but I still think it’s a neat ship

  350. Team Chalant, lol. I’ll just be over here quivering with anticipation, praying that the question about Dina’s parents is not a tease. I love Kate, that is where my House Andrews adventure began, but my heart will forever belong to Dina and Gertrude Hunt.

  352. I have rather odd and specific question for Ilona specifically: how does one properly pronounce “korgorusha/korgorushi”? Are the syllables split at kor-gor-u-sha, kor-gor-ush-a, kor-go-ru-sha? How is it written in Cyrillic?

  357. That was fun Mod R! I won’t post my results here; they’re way too personal 😉

    A lot of thought and effort on your part! Thx for that!

  360. Team Chalant. Haha, yes I live my life overthinking the number of socks needed for all-the-things. I also resonate with the old k mart commercial standing at the door chanting “open open open.” I can wait, I do wait, but half the fun is then anticipation.
    Yes, I subscribe to the chalant.
    I do wish I could see all the fantastic teams descriptions out there. Cause it’s fun. 😝

  361. I’m chillin with team chalant, praying for the Devourer to give me the strength to wait for the next release.

    Mod R, how are we using the adjective Fluffy and what is the reference?

  362. Surprised and somewhat, dare I say, proud to be Team Chalant.

    TBH not surprised. I am one of life’s swans in most areas – pretending desperately to be serene and elegant, in reality pedalling furiously with no known goal and prone to unexpected outbursts of flapping and honking on occasion.

  363. I’m team Facts but my brain read the last line and was still like… “Klaus is a dragon? Klaus is a dragon!!!!” And from the comments, I see i’m not the only one. Ha.

  364. Team Trees! I am both surprised and unsurprised. Shall we discuss? Hahaha I think I could have easily been on any team, my answers were all over the place. I am a rabid fan, but my main agenda is keeping our beloved Authors and Mod in a good place where they don’t feel pressured about any particular project. You’re doing great!

  365. late to the party as usual
    hysterical

    strong proponent of House Andrews can do whatever in the hell they want, but hopefully keep writing

  370. Mod R I cannot (I really can) believe you managed to pull that together so quickly after the requests were made. Thanks so much. So much fun on a not so fun day. Hug(h)s to you.

  371. Klaus as a dragon? I would like that concept explored. I don’t know where that would fit in, BUT George and Jack crossed over to another series so maybe there is a place where Klaus could be a dragon. 🙂

  372. That was funny and fun. Not sure I’m really a Dushegub, but it made me laugh. Care to discuss Mod R?

  373. The email of this came out coded and unreadable. No idea as to why. Website view is fine. Just the email was screwed up.

    • It’s explained why in the post: the quiz plug-in and the newsletter buffer are not compatible. A direct link is also provided for you in the same sentence.

  377. This is one of the times I really regret House Andrews deciding to stop merchandising. It would be so great to have a Team Dushegub item.

  378. Super fun quiz! So, apparently I’m more Dushegub than I realized, lol. So what? Do you wish to discuss?

    Honestly, they make me laugh, so why not? 😉

  381. “You belong to Team Dushegub.”

    Mildly horrifying on a person level, but can live with it on a Andrews-verse level 😈

  391. I’m late but I got team facts! I believe I’ve been misplaced here. I may appear cool, calm and collected, but on the inside I’m an anxious pile of nerves

  392. Bahaha I am Team Chalant and it is so true!!! I’m overly addicted the writing and worlds of house Andrews. I yearn for Arabella’s series (and for it to be Augustine, can it maybe be Augustine? I feel like it’s not supposed to be Augustine but for some reason I really want it to be Augustine). DYING for Hugh 2! All the KD’s world! And I know there is a whole new world in the making that I no doubt will become addicted to.

    I try to respect that House Andrews have whole lives outside of writing (it sounds like you guys have a lot going on, sending love to you!). Sometimes I wish I had found your books years from now when more of them were already written! For now I’ll be rereading my favs again. For the however manyeth time. 💗

    • Hi Sarah,

      I’m so happy you love the books!

      An Arabella/Augustine couple will never happen. Augustine was a man in his 30s when he met a 15 year old Arabella and had financial dominance over her and her family. The authors consider that type of relationship inappropriate.

      For more details you can read this post https://ilona-andrews.com/blog/busy-busy/
