Name three characters from a book that you'd like to invite to your birthday party.
Fred and George Weasley from Harry Potter and Kyo Soma from Fruits Basket.
What movies have you seen that were based on books? Did you like the book or film version better? Why?
Eragon - I hated the movie version because they left out too much stuff.
Blood and Chocolate - The book was great, but the movie was on wrong continent and had the wrong storyline.
The Harry Potter series - books were mostly awesome, and the movies were alright.
Tell us about your favorite book series.
My favorite book series is the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld, because the story line is awesome.

What is the last book you read? Would you suggest it to a friend? Why or why not?
The last book I read was PEACE, LOVE AND BABY DUCKS by Lauren Myracle, and I would totally suggest it to a friend because it charmingly and realistically presents the love between two sisters, which is totally easy to relate to.
Tell us about your top three favorite books of all time.
HARLEY, LIKE A PERSON by Cat Bauer, DRAMARAMA by E. Lockhart, and PAPER TOWNS by John Green.
If you had the opportunity to meet any author (dead or alive), who would you choose to meet, and what three questions would you ask him/her?
I would love to meet Lauren Myracle, and I'd ask how long she will continue to write in her lifetime, who she reads, and who she suggests for me to read myself.
