Questions from Read-Tea-Breathe:
1. Book you would stop life to finish in one sitting?
Definitely The Fault in Our Stars. I would love to be able to read the whole book all at once.
2. Favorite genre of books?
I love fantasy and dystopian books the best.
3. Song that makes you think of a book or reading?
This is probably dumb, but Lady Antebellum's song "Just a Kiss" came out at the same time that I was reading Ronie Kendig's Wolfsbane and it totally reminded me of the relationship between her two main characters and now I think of that book every time I hear that song.
4. Have you ever forgotten to eat/drink because you were too busy reading?
I don't forget to drink because I'm always really thirsty, but I definitely forget to eat or put off eating because I don't want to step away from a book.
5. Library, Secondhand, or New books?
Hmmm. I have a hard time with library books only because my time to read is unfortunately limited and I can never seem to finish them before they're due. I love buying secondhand books, but I also love cracking open a brand-new hardback. So that's a tough one.
6. If you had to choose between a room covered in empty bookcases or a room filled with books and no where to put them what would you pick?
A room filled with books and no place to put them, because that's basically my life right now :)
7. How many books do you try and read a month?
I like to try to read four in a month, more during the summer if I can. Of course, I hardly ever actually achieve this goal because of school and work and such eating up all my reading time.
8. Favorite magazine?
I don't read a lot of magazines, but (and this is totally stupid, I know) I used to love reading TV Guide. I liked reading spoilers about my favorite shows and interviews with cast members and such.
9. Book that you think should be required/taught in every school?
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and 1984 by George Orwell. I think they're really important critics of government, popular society, and power.
10. Do you re-read books or rather read new ones?
I love re-reading books, but now I don't have a lot time. So lately I've only been reading new books.
11. Do you know how many books you own? If so, how many?
I cataloged all my books over Christmas break. I'm proud/ashamed to say that I have around 375 books.

1. If you could live in any fictional world, where would you live?
2. Favorite author?
3. Character you relate to the most?
4. Book that's made you cry?
