My answers:

What’s your favorite book? I usually won't answer this question b/c I have so many, but I'm going to play nice and say, The Legend of Holly Claus by Brittany Ryan. I try to re-read it every year - go read it, you won't be sorry.

If you had to pick any book verse to live in which one would it be? Right now, I'd choose Alice Island from The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry. I like the small-town/island feel and I'd love to live above and own that bookstore!

Do you have any book merch from a series that hasn’t been turned into a movie? I don't think I do oddly enough, but I could be wrong...

Which Harry Potter book is your favorite? That's hard; I'm not sure I can pick a fave...I really love all the books.

Favorite album to listen to while reading? I typically don't listen to music while reading - I get distracted and start singing along (because I love music about as much as I love books).

Would you rather read outside or indoors? Just depends on the weather and what's going on. I LOVE reading outside on warm, sunny, slightly windy day - at a park!! But I also enjoy sitting inside on a gray, windy, stormy day, cuddled up with a book and blanket!

Can you read in hetic environments? Sometimes - depends on the type of hectic. If it is just somewhere with lots of activity like an airport, yes, but if the hectic involves say, the waiting room of an ER with a sick/injured kiddo or family member - no. If my mind can wander and worry, it will.

Do you read paper books or an e-reader? BOTH have a place in my life and always will. I love the portability of my tablet (I have tons of reader apps), but I cannot and will not let go of my paper books - I love them and I really enjoy reading them.

If you had to pick one character to be real who would it be? Just one??? ACK - I'm so bad at picking one of anything...hmmm...I think I'm going with Gandalf. I mean the guy is a total badass and the world would definitely benefit from having him around!

Favorite snack to munch on while reading? Well, as far as while I'm reading, something that doesn't make my fingers dirty (bad for pages and screen swipes) and I'm quite the candy fiend so I'm gonna go with gummy bears (yum, now I'm craving candy - great)!

Favorite series of all time? I have to go with Harry Potter, but The Cemetery of Forgotten books series is a very close second and Twilight (yep, I'm a Twilight person and not sorry) is right up there too.

My questions:

Do you prefer series or stand-alone reads?

Thinking about your favorite genre - what is the book (or who is the author) that turned you onto it/made you a fan for life?

Do you take notes while you read - in the book, on a device, or in a journal/notebook?

What character in literature do you relate to the most?

What is your favorite NON-FICTION book?

Summer is approaching (in the U.S. that is), do you like to read at the beach, lake, or pool or do you prefer to keep your water activities separate from your reading activities?

Do your reading habits change with seasons or holidays?

When's the last time you were in a library?

Name a villain you know you should hate, but you just can't?

Would you ever take a vacation (time off work/other responsibilities) simply to read? Would you stay home/local or go somewhere?

Do you like short stories?
