Tell Me Something Tuesday Round-Up (March 2026)


Tell Me Something Tuesday is a weekly meme created by Heidi at Rainy Day Ramblings in order to discuss a wide range of topics from books to blogging (and some slightly more personal matters throw in for good measure). After Heidi stopped blogging (apparently for good), five of us took over as hosts while providing new questions. The current team is composed of Berls at Because Reading Is Better Than Real LifeJen at That's What I'm Talking AboutKaren at For What It's WorthLinda at Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell and Roberta at Offbeat YA. This week's question is... This time I'm doing a round-up of the last month's worth of questions, because I hate how I've been M.I.A. when it comes to the meme!

March 2026 Round-Up
+ Question of the Day:
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE COLOUR?

  • March 3rd: Which made-up thing do you badly wish was real? (a question I submitted)
She looks a bit grey here for some reason, but whatever - when she doesn't choose to dematerialise and rematerialise, the TARDIS knows how to make an entrance 😂.*
*(In case you're wondering...to the Doctor, the TARDIS is a she! And yes, she's sentient).

  • March 10th: If you could have any celebrity be your best friend, who would you pick? (a question I submitted)
I know I'm sounding like a broken record (see above), but...David Tennant isn't just my favourite Doctor and actor. He's a decent human being with his heart in the right place (you can tell by the way he interacts with his fans, the causes he supports...I've yet to hear a single bad word against him) and an infectious smile. I would be honoured and elated to be his friend, though there might be a tiny problem with that...I've got a crush on him, so maybe not a good idea 😅.

David as Peter Vincent in Fright Night, 2011 😂 - actually, his underwear wasn't so noticeable in the movie, but someone took great pains to make a slow-motion version of this scene...😅

  • March 17th: Do you prefer single narrator, duet/dual narration, full cast, or "graphic audio" audiobooks?
I don't listen to audiobooks...not because I'm one of those snobs who thinks they don't count as reading. You all know spoken English isn't my strong suit, plus I like the written page too much...

  • March 24th: What’s your go-to coffee/tea order?
The only coffee I drink comes from my moka pot...mixed with (lactose-free) milk for my home breakfast. Not a cappuccino - just around a glass and a half of plain milk with a nice dose of coffee to make it light brown (I think the colour that most resembles it is called, ironically, Champagne Beige).

  • March 31st: What's your favourite colour? (a question I submitted)
Apart from black (which is, technically, not a colour), I love all strong colours, but red has always been my favourite. Red and black together? A trademark for me 😍. Colours you'll never see me in and that I dislike for most things, car included: grey, brown, white, blue (except for the TARDIS of course 😁).

Well, that's it for now. Did you enjoy this post? Would you like to participate in the meme on a regular or semi-regular basis, and get emailed the prompt list? Just head over here and fill in Jen's form! (Of course, you can jump in anytime you like - you are under no obligation to actually do all the posts, or even most of them, just because you signed up, and you can remove yourself from the list at any time). And if you're interested in participating in a more casual manner, or only in commenting, here is the TMST prompt list for the month of April:

  • April 7th: Do you like spoilers? Do you read the last chapter first?
  • April 14th: What do you still love doing that you loved as a kid? (a question I submitted)
  • April 21st: How do you like to celebrate your birthday?
  • April 28th: What's your favourite sports team?

I'll only be back for the meme on April 28th for another round-up, but in the meantime, I'll read your posts and comment on them!

Now tell me something...what's the colour you like the most/wear most often?
(By the way - of course you're welcome to answer any of the other monthly questions too in the comments, or even all of them!)
