Since joining The Town of Odyssey in April of 2015, Countess has become a great friend to everyone. She always wants to help out where she can. She has made over 200 posts since joining and it nice to get to know a bit more about her
Q: How did you find The ToO? Countess: SS chatter. After awhile of continually seeing this “ToO” phrase around, I asked someone if it was bigger than the chat, and found the board and registered even though I was sure I’d never post. =)
Q: What is the thickest book you’ve ever read? Countess: The Martyrs Mirror. It took 15 men three years to finish the book and in 1749, at 1,512 pages, it was the largest book printed in America.
Q: How many emails have you gotten this past week? Countess: As close as I can tell by trying to count, 95, from three different accounts.
Q: How has Adventures in Odyssey impacted you? Countess: It's impacted my life because it brought many new friends and taught me how to have a bigger outlook on life
Q: Who is your best friend on The ToO? Countess: Either John Chrysostom, or Isaiah the Ox.
Q: What frustrates you? Countess: People who have the ability, resources and opportunity to change the world and they just ignore it. It’s the worst injustice I know of.
Q: What do you look for in a friend? Countess: Loyalty, compassion, a sense of humor, confidence, and insights that go beyond and deeper than the present.
Q: In what ways are you an optimist? In what ways a pessimist? Countess: I am an optimist when everyone tells me something is impossible and they seem to be absolutely right. I love holding out hope. When it comes to myself, I’m a pessimist in every way.
Q: What motivates and inspires you? Countess: Rain, thunder, mountains, beauty, pain, chocolate, coffee, good books, pictures, music, friends, bad experiences, good experiences and life.
Q: What is your favorite bible verse? Countess: Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Isn't it funny how we hold different standards for ourselves and other people? I know what you mean. That can be a difficult thing to change!
Thanks for letting us get to know you better, Countess.
Countess, I'm so glad I've gotten to know you more! We spent far too long on the chat never talking. =p You're such a creative person and great at explaining things (something I'm not very good at. heh )
I'm very much enjoying reading these interviews. =D
It's non fiction. It's accounts of hundreds of martyrs who were killed from the time of Christ all the way till the early 1600s, I believe. The Catholics wouldn't like that book. *hides somewhere faraway*

How did you find this book and what made you want to read it? Did you enjoy it? What's something interesting that you remember reading in that book?
