“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”

11. Mari cries when she laughs....it's quite hysterical

Kait's responses:

1- What is your favorite drink?

I really love water......I drink it all the time....but if I had to pick something esle, I would say.....gingerale.

2- If you were on a deserted island, what two things would you take with you?

BOOKS!!!.....and food to last forever.....

Edited to say: I just realized I would have to bring paper too....I could NOT survive without that....I'm going crazy just THINKING about not being able to write something down....I don't think I would survive then....if I can only bring 2 things.......

Edited again to say: Thanks to Rach I realized I couldn't live without music either so scratch the paper, I'll take a laptop wit Microsoft word and a GREAT WIFI connection (for MUSIC) plus a solar powered generator so I could always keep it charged)

3- If you were able to invent something, what would you invent, and why?

The computer or iPod/iPad because then I would be really rich and buy more books!

4- What is your next read? Are you excited about it?

My next read is Embrace by Jessica Shirvington. I am SO pumped, reviews on Goodreads lead me to believe its really good.

5- Which do you prefer: reading paperback and hardcover, or reading e-copies on Kindle and iPad?

REAL BOOKS. 100%. I despise those Kindle/eBook things...ugh. Although I do get the sample's on my iPod to read and see if I'm hooked, I would never read a full book on there. I think there's something to be desired about reading an actually book with actually pages.....see my Nothing Beats a REAL book post for more of my opinion on the matter.

6- Chocolate-flavored icecream or vanilla-flavored icecream?

vanilla. Plain and simple, but I enjoy chocolate too.

7- Do you believe in love at first sight? Do you want it to happen to you?

Maybe.....not sure.... If I DO believe in it I would have to say yes, I would want it to happen to me.

8- Do you like historical novels? Why or why not?

Yes and no......depends on the subject. Of course if it's something I'm really interested in, then bring it on...otherwise the writing style.....it's just not my favorite....I like it all to be fake.

9- What is your favorite book? and why?

oh my my my.....that question. I don't like that question. There are TOO MANY. It takes a long time to think about and I've neglected to do so.... So here it goes:

The Host by Stephanie Meyer. My all time favorite. But I am also a HA-UGE fan of Everneath by Brodi Ashton. (and of course my dear Gallagher Girl books by Ally Carter, those of which I have read over 23 times.) This is only a brief summary....but those are the ones.

10- What is your favorite place to read?

My room.......I don't like reading outside....mostly because it's really windy, but I LOVE reading on the beach...and I will probably love reading at my new pool...

11-If you want to go on a vacation, where would you go?

I would go to Spain...and I am!! YAY!! Not now but in my lifetime......

Mari's responses:

1- What is your favorite drink?

Water, I don't drink anything else... Except milk and hot chocolate....

2- If you were on a deserted island, what two things would you take with you?

BOOKS AND A LAPTOP DUHHHH AND MY PHONE AND FOOD.
3- If you were able to invent something, what would you invent, and why?

The book, it's a beautiful beautiful thing...

4- What is your next read? Are you excited about it?

OMG YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm planning on finishing the Goddess test series I'm on the second book!

5- Which do you prefer: reading paperback and hardcover, or reading e-copies on Kindle and iPad?

Hard Cover because you can bring it with you everywhere and not worry as much  if it gets ruined cause it won't.

6- Chocolate-flavored icecream or vanilla-flavored icecream?

Vanilla I like to smother it in all kinds of toppings.

7- Do you believe in love at first sight? Do you want it to happen to you?

Yes..... I wouldn't like it to happen to me though because if I were to fall in love I would want to get to know him... and make sure he likes THG and other books.

8- Do you like historical novels? Why or why not?

Yes, I do because I think it's very creative and makes a good story.

9- What is your favorite book? and why?

UGH!!! I CAN'T DO THIS!!!!!!  I like the kind with pages...

10- What is your favorite place to read?

I like to read by the river and curled up by a fire either one.

11-If you want to go on a vacation, where would you go?

Barnes and Noble..... Book!!! Just Kidding.
Punta Cana it's beautiful I'd like to go again.



Rach's responses:

1- What is your favorite drink?

Hmm...well I really like Sprite but I've stopped drinking soda (mostly). One of my other favorites is definitely apple juice.

2- If you were on a deserted island, what two things would you take with you?

First of all, let's just say that there's food already on the island. I would bring books (who wouldn't) and my ipod.

3- If you were able to invent something, what would you invent, and why?

Hmm...I think a time machine so I can go back and relive all the crazy times in my life. Especially the times with Mari and Kait :)

4- What is your next read? Are you excited about it?

Next, I'm reading mockingjay (I've actually already started it, but it still counts). Yes, I am excited cuz it's in THG series!!! MORE PEETA!!!

5- Which do you prefer: reading paperback and hardcover, or reading e-copies on Kindle and iPad?

Real books and hardcover cuz paperback books just flop all around and they're really annoying when they do that.

6- Chocolate-flavored icecream or vanilla-flavored icecream?

Definitely vanilla. I luv chocolate, but it just doesn't taste good as ice cream.

7- Do you believe in love at first sight? Do you want it to happen to you?

Ya sure, I guess. But you should luv someone cuz of there personality and how they treat u, not there looks. I mean sure I guess I'd want it to happen to me. Either way, me falling for someone or vise versa.

8- Do you like historical novels? Why or why not?

Not particularly unless the author has a really great writing style. I like more realistic fiction and dystopian and fiction. Like the stuff we review on our blog.

9- What is your favorite book? and why?

ARE U SERIOUSLY MAKING ME CHOOSE JUST ONE!? Grr. Ok here it goes. My favorite book is (insert name of any book Rach has read). Haha and you thought I was gonna say just one. Silly children.

10- What is your favorite place to read?


Somewhere that's peaceful and quiet. Maybe my room or in a tree (tehe).

11-If you want to go on a vacation, where would you go?

I would probably travel all over Europe and visit EVERY country. It's my dream to do that.
