Just before the holidays, we invited all of you to start sharing your book-related thoughts with us here on the Teenreads blog by answering a few questions about what you're reading. One of the first to answer was fourteen-year-old Makayla Donigan from Richmond, VA. Check out her responses below as she discusses her favorite books and series, thinks up her dream birthday guest list, and reveals whose fictional life she'd like to live for a day. If you like what you read, be sure to leave Makayla a comment below! And if you'd like to take part in the Reader Q&A, click here.


If you could trade places with any character from a book for a day, who would you be and why?

I would trade places with Aslinn from WICKED LOVELY. She's got two guys fighting over her, and she's a queen --- who could want more?

Name three characters from a book that you'd like to invite to your birthday party.

I would invite Alaska, from John Green's LOOKING FOR ALASKA, Ian, from THE HOST, and Georgia Nicholson.

Tell us about your top three favorite books of all time.

1. THE BELL JAR --- It is just the best thing ever.
2. FAME, GLORY AND OTHER THINGS ON MY TO-DO LIST --- It has just been a favorite of mine since 6th grade and I can always read it when I need a fix.
3. SONG OF THE SPARROW --- Just great, and uber-creative.

Tell us about your favorite book series.

My favorite book series is the Morganville Vampires. It is never a let down with many strong characters and a solid plot line. She shoves a much action in a book tiny book that is quick to read, and since its paperback its good for my wallet!
