Book Survey

1. What author do you own the most books by?
Jo Rowling: 10 different books + multiple copies/editions.

2. What book do you own the most copies of?
Ummm I'm not at home right now but I think I have the most of Deathly Hallows..I should have about 5-6.

3. Did it bother you that both those questions ended with prepositions?
I'm going with Kayley, Hayley, and Matt's answer because I agree and they're awesome (which doesn't really relate...) "No. I write like I talk, and I'd honestly never say, "Of which book do you own the most copies?" That's just silly. I'm aware that sentences shouldn't end with prepositions, and that's good enough for me. "

4. What fictional character are you secretly in love with?
Hermione, Luna, Bridget and Tibby (from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants), Lindsey (from An Abundance of Katherines), & Mel and Averi (from Bermudez Triangle)

5. What book have you read the most times in your life (excluding picture books read to children; i.e., Goodnight Moon does not count)?
God, probably The Giver and HP (dunno which book I've read the most from the series, probably HBP or SS)

6. What was your favorite book when you were ten years old?
I liked HP, but didn't love it like I do now. I looooooved The Giver at that age!

7. What is the worst book you've read in the past year?
Umm probably Frankenstein. I liked the story a lot but it was a dull read and I didn't enjoy how it was written. I may get killed for this answer lol.

8. What is the best book you've read in the past year?
Looking for Alaska <3 How I hadn't heard of John Green before 5AGs, I'll never know.

9. If you could force everyone you tagged to read one book, what would it be?
HP, Looking for Alaska, 19 Minutes, or Bermudez Triangle, probably.

10. What book would you most like to see made into a movie?
I have ALWAYS wanted The Giver to become a movie. But movies of books always suck lol.

11. What book would you least like to see made into a movie?
God, probably Looking for Alaska since the book was so amazing and the movie will never live up to it. Though I would love to see a movie made perfectly of that book, it will never happen.

12. Describe your weirdest dream involving a writer, book, or literary character.
I had a dream I met Jo Rowling and she signed my taco bell cup (don't ask) and wrote like under the lid "Dumbledore dies on page 432" about Deathly Hallows which just....is not right at all.

13. What is the most lowbrow book you've read as an adult?
I dunno...Probably Julie Anne Peters books even though I adore them they aren't as like adult...

Little Women. I never finished it because I tried reading it in like 2nd grade...
