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 Hermonie Granger, so I could roam the halls of Hogwarts.
What is the last book you read? Would you suggest it to a friend? Why or why not?
Last week, I let one of my friends read THE LAST SONG by Nicholas Sparks. She could not put it down, reading it during all the free time she had. This book had everything you could want, it was the perfect read.
Do you have a favorite quote from a book? If so, what is it?
"Don't judge, just listen."
- JUST LISTEN by Sarah Dessen
