Now onto my answers:

1. Where do you buy your books?  This totally depends on the price, accessibility, and my mood! I buy e-books from Amazon for my Kindle if they are the cheapest option. If a book I’ve been wanting is around the same price for the e-book and the paperback, I’ll head to Barnes & Noble for the real book version. I love used book stores and any other random place I can find books, too! Sometimes I get audiobooks from Audible depending on their price and if I have my monthly credit.
2. What are you currently reading?  I’m reading Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway. (Well technically, I haven’t started it- but I put my bookmark in the first page). I’m also listening to The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender.
3. Last book you did not finish and why?  I have a thing against not finishing books. I typically ALWAYS finish even if I don’t like it. The one and only book I purposely DNF was The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. It was too boring and I had absolutely no desire to continue. I had just gotten to college and my reading habits slipped, so this book was not nearly good enough to keep my attention during that time.
4. If you could meet any one in the world (it can be fictional), who would you meet and why?  Oh god, this is hard! I think I would have to go with your stereotypical celebrity answer and say something like Justin Timberlake, Zac Efron, or Mila Kunis. Totally not book-related, but oh well!
5. Favorite book to movie adaptation?  I think overall I would say the Harry Potter adaptations. They did their best to include as much as possible without damaging the integrity of the series. As far as standalones go, I think they did a great job with The Fault in Our Stars.
6. Most anticipated book for 2014?  Hmm, I would have to say my most anticipated for most of 2014 would be the final Pretty Little Liars book (Vicious). It comes out in December and I have been waiting for the final book in this series for so long! I can’t wait to finally read it.
7. Love triangles. Hate or love them and why. I think if they’re done well, I don’t mind them. Generally it can be difficult to pull off because most books favor one person over the other, and it becomes painfully obvious which person they’ll end up with anyway. What’s the point in including them if they don’t add to the plot at all? If the reader knows who the winner is going to be, why bother?
8. Who is your favorite book boyfriend and why?  It’s weird – I normally don’t have strong feelings like that towards main characters. The only one that really comes to mind is Gale from The Hunger Games. I was totally on his team.
9. If you were stranded on an island, what would be the three things you would choose to have with you?  A major stack of books, lots of food, and a boat to leave 🙂
10. 3 random facts about you.  (1) I have an extreme fear/aversion to ketchup. I can’t smell it, look at it, or hear the noise it makes when it comes out of the container. (2) In a perfect world, I would be a professor of Literary & Cultural / Gender studies at a college. (3) My favorite food is pizza. I ALWAYS want pizza.
11. Lastly, which book is next on your TBR pile?  I think I’ll probably read Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas next… although I think that will make me addicted and then I’ll only read that series for the next few weeks! I have to decide if I’m ready for that level of addiction.
