If you could trade places with any character from a book for a day, who would you be and why?
Hmm... Max from the Maximum Ride books. 1) I've always wanted to fly, and 2) she's awesome, and can kick butt.
What is the last book you read? Would you suggest it to a friend? Why or why not?
FIRE by Kristin Cashore. Definitely. It was great.

Tell us about your top three favorite books of all time.
I love Maximum Ride by James Patterson, which is about a girl who is 98% human, 2 % avian; THE HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins which is set in a futuristic America, and the capitol makes kids compete; and GONE by Michael Grant, during which everyone over the age of 14 disappears. :D

Hmm... that would be a tough choice. There are too many. :)
