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.”

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.

  3. 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…

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

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

  10. 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).

  13. 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??? 😀

  16. 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.

  17. 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 🙂

  18. 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!

  19. 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.

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

  22. 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

  23. 2nd time around, I was Team Chalant (Team Facts are King, first)…
    I love these windows into my soul!!

  24. 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.

  25. “You belong to Team Dushegub.”

    What a surprise…./s

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

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

  27. 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?

  30. 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.

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

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

  34. 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.

  35. 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! 😉

  38. 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!

  40. 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? 🙂

  45. 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!

  46. 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.

  48. 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.

  52. 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. 🤩❤️

  56. 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.. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  57. 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.

  58. 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

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

  61. 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 ^^

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

  65. 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. 😳

  66. 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.

  72. 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. 🥰🥰🥰

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

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

  79. 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!

  81. 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 🐓🏅

  83. 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.

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

  89. 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! 🙂

  90. 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.

  93. 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! 😂

  94. 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

  98. 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.
