1. What is the earliest book you remember reading?

Well, that would probably have to be Go Dogs, GO! by Dr. Suess.  I am pretty sure that is the first book I read. It was one of my favorites growing up that's for sure!! 

2. Do you have an odd habit you do while you read?

Not really that I know of? I mean, if I read in bed, I always have to be on my stomach and my feet always swing back and forth.

3. Do you keep books in pristine condition or make notes, highlight, and love them in general?

If I can help it, I NEVER mark or highlight anything in my books.  To me they are my babies and they need to be cherished and protected.  However, I can't stop the pages or cover from being bent or just well worn and read multiple times.

4. What is one obscure author you wish was more famous?

Samantha Young! Well, I'm not entirely sure if she's obscure or not but I haven't seen any of her books in stores and they were all like two dollars on Kindle, so I'm assuming. I have read probably seven or eight of her books and they are all amazing!

5. Name one book you wish you could keep all to yourself.

Is this supposed to be like what is my favorite book?  Well if that's the case, I STILL DON'T KNOW!! I have so many that I loved and still love so ugh, this is hard!

6. Name one series you wish had continued.

Well, I could say the obvious one that everyone wishes had continued, Harry Potter, but other than that, um probably the Cirque du Freak series by Darren Shan.  The ending of that series just made me so mad, like idek how to explain how mad it made me and I feel like he just rushed them at the end.

7. Name one series you wish had ended after a certain book.

I have a couple that I wish had ended after a certain book.  One is The Immortals series by Alyson Noel.  It should have ended after the second book, because I feel after that it was always the same story and the main character kept making the same mistakes EVERYTIME! Also, The Uglies series, by Scott Westerfield should have ended after Extras.  I just felt that Specials was kind of like a spin off without actually being a spin off, if that makes sense? I mean the main character wasn't even the same!

8. Do you prefer to buy books or check them out at the library?

I ALWAYS PREFER TO BUY BOOKS!!!  I love just watching my shelf fill up with amazing books and amazing authors and telling my friends, "oh you don't have to wait to get it at the library you can just borrow it from me!"  Plus if I get them from the library I will most likely end up just buying it down the road, especially if it's a good book, because I like having them on hand so that I can just pick them up anytime I may want to.

9. What do you consider a classic, and which are your favorites?

To me a classic is the authors and books they teach in school.  Like, Jane Austin, Charlotte Bronte, Shakespeare, and the like.  I think my favorite would have to either be To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee or Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.  They're both just really good books with amazing messages.

10. Do you talk about the books you're reading with your friends and family?

Umm, well most of my friends don't really read.  I am "the book nerd" pretty much in my group of friends.  However, if the book is really good and I know they like reading at least a little bit or if they are looking for something to read I will recommend some of my favorites to them.
