This week's question is:   

"What book that hasn't been turned into a movie (yet) would you most like to see make it to the big screen, and who would you like cast as your favorite character? "

You know, I've been reading the Vampire Academy series and I actually think it would be cool if it were turned into a movie. Dimitri is probably my favorite character and when I imagine him I imagine Ben Barnes so I definitely wouldn't mind if he played Dimitri. :P

"How has your reading habits changed since you were a teen? or If you are still a teen what new genres are you in love with currently?"

You know, the funny things is I didn't read YA when I was a teen. I only started reading YA books in the last two or three years. I have always liked Mystery and Contemporary Romance, though.

I study when it's exam season and I have to! :P I also like watching a movie or a good tv series and going out with my friends. I write a little every now and then as well.

This week's question is: 

 

"What keeps you reading beyond the first few pages of a book, and what makes you want to stop reading a book and put it back on the shelf?"  

Well, I normally finish every book I start reading but an inriguing plot with interesting characters will definitely keep me happy. Bad writing and characters with no real emotions will make me want to out the book down.

This week's question is:   

 
"Your favorite book/movie character (example Hermione Granger played by the Emma chick) just walked into the room! Who is it and what would be your first reaction? You get extra points if you include visual stimulation."

This is a hard question! I have read too many books that were later made into movies...

Let's see... This might sound weird but I think I would love to meet Sherlock Holmes, especially the new one played by Benedict Cumberbatch. He would be so fun to talk to! Of course I would probably have to watch out for eveything I did and said because he would surely be analyzing me!

I love Mystery and Suspense books but I also really like Contemporary Romance and Young Adult. I think Agatha Christie's books and Sherlock Holmes are two of the reasons why I like mystery so much.

This week's question is: 

"What book-to-movie adaption have you most liked?  Which have you disliked?"
I'm one of those people who, normally, prefers the book to the movie. I liked the Fight Club movie, though. I think it was well adapted.

I hated the most recent Jane Eyre movie adaptation. I think there was a lot missing and the emotions didn't seem real to me.

It really depends. I'll normally read two or three books a week if I have time. They're all paperback or hardcover editions and ebooks.

This week's question is:

This week's question is:  

 

"What character in a book would you most like to be, what character in a book would you most like to date?"

Again, I can't choose just one. I tend to get immersed in a book when I'm reading it and more often than not I find myself wishing I could be that character.

When it comes to the character I would most like to date, this is probably a very common answer but I think Edward from Twilight would be a good boyfriend (a little too intense sometimes but a good boyfriend). I definitely wouldn't mind dating Jax from Simply Irresistible by Jill Shalvis either. :)

Yes, my roommate and friend. We have similar tastes and once we finish reading a book we like to tell each other about it. I've read many books she found interesting and liked them as well. It's actually quite nice being able to tell someone what I think about a particular book and hear her opinion.

This week's question is:  

"Do you judge a book by its cover?"

Yes, sometimes I do. The cover of a book is the first thing that draws my eye to a book, after all. If I really like the cover Ill find out what the book is about and if the plot interests me I will read it.

I'm not the type of person who won't read a book because of its cover, though. I won't read a book I don't find interesting because it has a great cover either.

This week's question is:

"Who's your all-time favorite book villain?"

Am I the only one who had to think hard about this? I love villains! When they are well-written and complex they are one of the best parts of a story. What would some books be without their villains?

That being said, President Snow in The Hunger Games is one of my favorite villains. . He's smug, full of himself and responsible for way too many deaths. He is simply detestable
Of course I can't forget Lord Voldemort! How amazing is he as a villlain? :)

Right now my favorite TV show is definitely Glee. Why? I love the hilarity of it all! Plus, I really enjoy the songs. I know a lot of people don't like the show's versions of some songs but I actually do. It's a great way to bring attention to some songs that are not as well known as they should be.
