Interview:

1.  Paperback, hardback, audiobook?

Paperback. I liked how hardback looks but I feel like they are more collectable. So if I’m gonna read a book, give me the paperback. If I’m gonna stare at it, the hardback. 

2.  Pick a genre, any genre!

Final Fantasy!  Oh wait, that’s not a “genre” (It should be). Epic Fantasy if I have to choose a real one. High Fantasy is a good one too, but one can only deal with elves so many times....
