Questions From Kim:
1. What book/s would you recommend to someone who hates reading to make them like reading?
     I honestly don't know. My recommendation would depend on their age, gender and interests.

2. Who's your favorite male and female fictional character? Why?
     I don't have any. I like almost every character I come across, it's hard to choose a favorite so I don't.

3. If someone could grant you ONE wish, what would you wish for and why?
     A billion dollars. I'd have money to travel the world and be financially secure. Plus I'd also like to start a foundation that helps with childhood illiteracy so money would be a big help.

4. When did you start blogging, and what made you do it?
     I started book blogging almost two years ago. I did it to share my love of books with others who like the same type of books that I do. I love doing it.

5. What was the first novel you read? What made you read it?
     hmm.... I actually don't remember the 1st novel I read. I've always been a reader.

6. What book/s made you cry? Why/how?
     I have actually never cried from a book. I get attached emotionally but never enough to actually cry.

     Ren & Kishan from The Tiger Saga, Prince Kai from Cinder, Day from Legend and Alex from the Delirium trilogy.

8.What's your favorite romantic scene from a book?
     I don't have a favorite one. Mainly because I have a horrible memory and can't remember most of them lol

Questions from Kenzia:
1. What was the first book you ever read? What did you think of it?

     I don't remember. I've been reading all my life. Who knows what my first book was.

2. YA movie adaptations - Like it or hate it? Why?
     Both. I love the attention the author gets and I love seeing an actual interpretation of a book. I just don't like when there are major, dramatic changes or cast members that clearly don't fit the characters.

3. Which one do you prefer, Hardcover or Paperback?
     Paperback. Simply because they're cheaper.

     I don't have favorites

     Italy, France & Bahamas. I want to taste real Italian food, see the Eiffel Tower and go to Atlantis Resort.

     Princess Tiana. She's the first black animated princess and she gets to eat good food 24/7 lol
