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. 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!

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

  4. 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.

  7. 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!

  9. Mod R does it again, thank you!

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

  15. 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.

  16. 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

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

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

  25. 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. 🤔

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

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

  29. 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. . .

  30. 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.

  35. 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?

  36. 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.

  37. 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!

  39. 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.

  40. 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?

  44. 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. 🧐😁😂😂😂😂😉🚤

  52. 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!

  53. 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!

  55. 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.

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

  64. 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.

  65. 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😊

  66. 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…

  67. 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. 🧐🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎

  69. 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!”

  72. 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! 🙂

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

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

  79. 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.

  80. 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.

  81. 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.

  82. 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.

  87. 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.

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

  89. 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.

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

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

  93. 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?

  94. “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!

  95. 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!

  96. 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…

  97. 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?

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

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