• I promise I won’t go overboard with these like I used to…

  Best book you read last year
  Teatro Grottesco.

  A book that you’ve read more than 3 times
  Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

  Your favorite series
  Harry Potter…Vampire Chronicles…Everworld.

  Favorite book of your favorite series
  HP my favourite was Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban. VC my favourite was probably The Vampire Lestat. Everworld…Fear the Fantastic.

  A book that makes you happy
  Happy? Good Omens. That book makes me laugh.

  A book that makes you sad
  The Wind in The Willows. I cried last time I read it.

  Most overrated book
  Twilight.

  A book you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving
  Absalom! Absalom!
  It’s a book made up of maybe three or four run on sentences. And it’s awesome.

  Favorite classic book
  Jane Eyre.

  A book you hated
  Hurt Go Happy. It was a story about a chimp and a deaf girl…and for all its endearing potential, it was just not executed well.

  A book you used to love but don’t anymore
  Some of my young adult books, maybe…like Fire Bringer.

  Your favorite writers
  Neil Gaiman, Thomas Ligotti, William Faulkner, Anne Rice.
  I could add more, but these are the ones I specifically remember the writing being wonderful in a way that was separate from the stories or the characters.

  A book that disappointed you
  Twilight. With as excited as my sisters were about it, I expected it to be some kind of good.

  Favorite book turned into a movie
  LOTR

  Favorite romance book
  Number of romance books in my possession: zero.

  Favorite book from your childhood
  Probably LOTR and/or The Black Stallion.

  A book you wanted to read for a long time but still haven’t
  I am slowly collecting the works of Thomas Ligotti…still haven’t read a number of them.

  A character who you can relate to the most
  I don’t know anymore. I feel like the one strong cord connecting me to most of the characters I’ve felt like since I started college has been cut. Makes it time to forge new connections. Mine and my friends’ responses to that movie also say it’s time torevisit the connections I had before all that…

  A book that changed your opinion about something
  To be honest…that Everworld book, probably.
