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.

  1. 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.

  5. “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!!!

  6. 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!

  8. 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.

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

  14. 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

  18. 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.

  21. 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 ..?🤭

  23. 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?

  27. 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.

  28. “You stand with Team Chalant.”

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

  30. 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…

  31. 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 😭😭😂

  34. 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!

  35. 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!😂😂😂😂

  38. 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.

  39. 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.

  40. 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

  41. 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?

  43. 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.

  44. 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?)

  46. 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!

  48. 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.

  49. 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

  50. 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.

  52. 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?

  57. 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!

  60. 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. 😝

  61. 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?

  62. 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.

  63. 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.

  64. 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!

  65. late to the party as usual
    hysterical

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

  70. 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.

  71. 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. 🙂

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

  73. 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.

  77. 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.

  78. 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? 😉

  81. “You belong to Team Dushegub.”

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

  91. 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

  92. 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.
