Well, more like finding which historical queen am I in this quiz. Apparently I am…
Your result for The Which Historical Queen Are You Test …
Queen Hatshepsut
You scored 67% on ruling power!
You are: Hatshepsut, Queen of Egypt, 15th century B.C. Hatshepsut was a powerful political person in Egypt even before she assumed the title of Pharaoh. She had a peaceful reign promoting trade and the arts. Her beautiful temple at Deir el-Bahri still stands west of Thebes.
Who the heck is that?? But I answered that I love colourful dresses with exotic designs, who’s this topless queen I’m supposed to resemble??
Technically, this isn’t very bookish nor literary, but since we are on that topic, have you read any historical fiction about royalty? I like Philippa Gregory’s royalty fiction; so far, I’ve read The Constant Princess (about Catherine of Aragon, wife of Arthur, then later Charles the VIII) and The Virgin Lover (about Queen Elizabeth, just after claiming the throne and was in a precarious political position who has fallen in love with her married friend and has an affair with him). Have yet to get my hands on that famous The Other Boleyn Girl. They aren’t historically accurate, but they’re sure real fun to read and ponder about Gregory’s interpretation of royalty then.

You Should Be a Romance Novelist |
|
You can find the romance in any situation, and you would make a talented romance story writer… And while you may be a traditional romantic, you’re just as likely to be drawn to quirky or dark love stories. As long as it deals with infatuation, heartbreak, and soulmates – you could write it. |
Your Spelling is Perfect |
|
Your spelling is excellent. You also have a great memory and eye for detail. |
I tried writing a love scene before but I was so shy about it, so I don’t know if I make a good romance writer! At least no annoying typos from me, though, apparently. 
(But I must say I am quite a romantic / idealist / fairy tale happy ending sort of girl.)

Just have to share this South Park character made for me by a friend. It’s so me!

If you liked that, here’s another which has more book’s first lines quizzes.
Then there’s another link to several interesting book quizzes.
Finally, I took this Which Austen Heroine Are You? quiz.
You are Fanny Price of Mansfield Park! You are quiet, faithful, and moral, but those around you may think you priggish. You love deeply…and jealously.

Swiped this quiz from Chris@bookarama!
| What Be Your Nerd Type?
Your Result: Literature Nerd
Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it’s eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today’s society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works. It’s okay. I understand. |
