This weeks question come from Elena who blogs at Books and Reviews!

When did you realize reading was your passion and a truly important part of your life?

My Answer:  This is such a difficult question.  I know that as a young child I was always reading, but I remember hating required reading in school.  I always felt like they picked the most boring books possible and then made you read them really quickly.  For a while, I know that turned me off from reading, so once I was no longer required to read, I didn't.  I remember a summer about 5 years ago when a friend lent me a book by Sophie Kinsella and told me how cute it was and that I had to read it.  I thought about it for a while, but finally gave it a shot, and I ended up finishing the book within an hour and had the whole series completed that weekend.  I guess that is when my extreme obsession with reading started, although like I said, I was an avid reader as a child, before required reading. 

What about you? 

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I hope you are having a great week!  A very warm welcome to my new followers, and a huge thanks to my old followers for sticking around!

This week's question comes from Mina who blogs at Mina Burrows:

If you could physically put yourself in to a book or series...which one would it be and why?

Great question!  I would have to say that I would love to be a character in the Sookie Stackhouse books.  I love these books, but I also love all of the characters.  I think it would be a ton of fun to be one of Sookie's best friends, and get to go around on all of her crazy adventures.  Plus, honestly . . . two words:  ERIC NORTHMAN. 

What book or series would you like to be in?

This week's question comes from Somer at A Bird's Eye Review:

Do you read only one book at a time or do you have several going at once?

Honestly, I am way too ADD to read more than one book at a time.  I would start mixing story lines and characters and just not know what is going on.  I read somewhat quickly though (when I have time), so usually I'm okay with just sticking to one book at a time.  There have been a few times where the book I was reading was slow and boring me, so I would put it aside for a minute and start a different book, but I would come back to the original boring book in the end.  So not only am I completely ADD, I'm also completely OCD -- if I start a book, I have to finish it...

How many books do you read at a time?

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I hope you are having a great week!  A very warm welcome to my new followers, and a huge thanks to my old followers for sticking around!

This week's question comes from Ellie who blogs at Musings of a Bookshop Girl:

 "If I gave you £50 (or $80) and sent you into a bookshop right now, what would be in your basket when you finally staggered to the till?"

OOOh, this is a tough one!  Let's see...

According to Amazon.com that would bring me to $78, so close enough!  

What would be in your basket?

A very warm welcome to my new followers, and thanks for sticking around to my oldie but goodies!

I just want to apologize for being AWOL for the last few days.  I've been feeling a bit under the weather, but I'm starting to feel a little better, so I'm trying to get back in the groove of things.  If I've missed a comment of yours, or an email, I apologize and I will get to it with in the next few days.

This weeks question comes from Mia who blogs at Girl About Books:

"Who is your all-time favorite book villain?"

This is a tough question...I know that the point of villains in books is to not like them, so picking one that I do like is pretty hard.  The first character that really jumps out at me is Kyle Craig, from the Alex Cross series by James Patterson.  Kyle is a calculating, insane, organized, lying psychopath...but every time he shows up in a book I just get excited.  I guess because I'm hoping that this time will finally be when Cross kills Craig.  

Who is your favorite villain?

This weeks question comes from Jen B. who blogs at I Read Banned Books:

"Do you ever wish you would have named your blog something different?"

Honestly, no -- I feel that it truly describes me!!  I really like the blog names that are catchy and witty, too.  Bottom line is -- to me, your blog is more about content than name.  It is important to have a good blog name, but I think that if you can back up your blog with incredible content, then you can have a "boring" or "plain" name.
