ABOUT THE BOOKS
How many books, on average, do you read a month? Hmm.. to many, no really in between 15 and 20
Favorite kind of book and why; I would say fantasy and historical mixed with magic or romance because they transport me to other imaginary worlds or diferent times, in where I can be a heroine.
Name the single most important factor in your decision to purchase a book; First the cover has to catch my attention and then the summary.
What makes you feel like you're reading or have read a truly amazing book? That I've felt what the characters have and I feel for them, and when I stay up untill 3 am without realizing so concentrated that I am in the book.
How important is a friend's recommendation in your decision to purchase a book? Well it depends on the friend really. One of my friends I nearly always listen to, the other one not so much, and the rest just aren't that much of readers.
Thing you'd like to see more or less of in the YA genre; I would like to see more about wiccans and less vampires as there are a bit to many of them.
What's your biggest pet peeve in a book? If the book is to short I tend to want more and also if it is interesting but badly written.
Paperback or hardcover? Either, hardcover tend to last longer, but paperbacks are easier to carry around in my bag.
Series or stand-alone? Either if the ending of the stand-alone is good, but I generally prefer series.
