This week's question:
Where is the best destination reading spot for you? (Where do you like to read other than your home?)

I don't really have a destination reading place. I can read almost anywhere as long as its quiet. I've read by the pool once. It was relaxing except for the mosquitoes flying around. :)

Q: We always talk about books that WE want. Let's turn it on its head. What books have you given other people lately?

 

I haven't given out any books. Since I get all my books from the library, me and my sister always swap books.

Q: Activity! Who do you want to be? If you could choose any character from a book. What do you think that character looks like and what do you have in common?

I have no idea. I'm thinking Chloe from Welcome, Caller, This is Chloe by Shelley Corriell. I think we might have the same optimistic, peppy personality. I think the character looks like Bella Thorne from Disney's Shake It Up. I don't look like Chloe except for Bella's hairstyle with the bangs. I get bangs every winter/spring. :-)

Question: Books are turned into movies all the time! Turn it around. What movie would make a great book?

Hmmm. Ok, I wouldn't mind Grey's Anatomy having a book. I think they tried it once but I want a whole series with everybody's points of view. I've thought about this for a long time, seriously. Even thought it's not a movie, it is my favorite show.

Question: When you step out of your USUAL genre what do you like to read? Best books in genre?

My usual genre is Chick Lit fiction. I like mysteries, foodie lit, memoirs, nonfiction. The genre I've been dipping into lately that's really not my usual is YA and YA dystopian. Favorite books in this genre for me is Divergent and Insurgent by Veronica Roth and Don't You Wish by Roxanne St. Claire.

Questions: Do your reading habits change based on you moods? Do you read a certain genre if you are feeling depressed or happy?

Sometimes when I'm depressed, I like to read funny books by Jennifer Lancaster or Celia Rivenbark, but I'd read those anytime. I'm not too particular. Reading just makes me feel good.

Summer break is up on us! What would be the perfect vacation spot for you to catch up on you reading and relax?


I have no idea. I'm thinking someplace that's peaceful and quiet. 

This is not my house, but I wouldn't mind stretching out on that loveseat and reading.:)

Question: Do you read one book at a time or do you switch back and forth between two or more?

For me, it depends on how good a book is. If a book is really, really good, I'll just read that one book. Sometimes I'll read two books at the same time if I can't pick which one I want to focus on.

Q: I like unique names for characters and am looking forward to coming up with some when I start writing. What's the most unique character name you've come across? 

The most unique names that I have come across is Peeta, Katniss, and the characters in Divergent. I can't remember the names, but they were different. I don't read to many books where people have really weird names.

Question: What book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?
