Do you have a favorite quote from a book? If so, what is it?
"It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."
-THE ALCHEMIST by Paulo Coelho
Tell us about your top three favorite books of all time.
A FISTFUL OF SKY by Nina Kirki Hoffman
AURALIA'S COLORS by Jeffery Overstreet
EON: Dragoneye Reborn By Alison Goodman
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 ask Christopher Pike who his favorite author is, if he would consider starting a new series about other mythical creatures other than vampires and faeries, and if he could choose any candy what would be his favorite?
What movies have you seen that were based on books? Did you like the book or film version better? Why?
The BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE book was better than the movie, which I was expecting to follow the book more. It seemed that the only thing the book and the movie had in common was the characters' names. And the movie made the character Gabriel seem like the villain.
Tell us about your favorite book series.
My fave series would have to be The Song of the Lioness Quartet by Tamora Pierce. She lets the main character grow throughout the series into a strong and independent women, letting nothing get in her way whether it be man or beast. Proving girls can be just as strong or even stronger than boys.

What movies have you seen that were based on books? Did you like the book or film version better? Why?
A ton. And usually, no. I usually like the book a lot better. The only exception will probably be Dear John because I really fine John obnoxious in the book.
