I loved the intro to this challenge!!! XD

[Victoria]

Beautiful... Until you spoiled the illusion by telling us the questions weren't forged in the high mountains and delivered by angels after all!

And there I was imagining an angel workshop where forged questions are packaged for delivery, and answers are only a meditation away...

[Jeshu]

2. I usually take light reads for holidays, as I want my brain to rest from the final exams spree that I have at the end of each academic year :3

[Rea, Ghost]

1. Favourite fiction Genre? Fantasy and sci-fi of the various kinds. Usually I prefer it with a romance subplot.

2. What books would you take on holiday? Choosing which books to take on holiday with me involves standing in front of my bookcase for a long period of time until three or four of them catch my interest. Or it did. Now I just grab the Kindle!

[Victoria]

3. I don't read on the beach. I'm too interested in listening to the sound of the waves and seagulls, or splashing about in the sea, or building sand castles. What? Grown-ups can build sandcastles too!

[Jeshu]

3. I don't read on the beach either... actually, I never go to the beach unless is strictly necessary XD!

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

3. What’s a nice relaxing book for the beach?

hmm, I havent been to the beach in ages.. and i dont really think i would read :)

[Olga]

Yeah, me too.

[Rea, Ghost]

3 What's a nice, relaxing book for the beach?

I also don't read at the beach. I cycle there and home, so the time I'm at the beach I spend enjoying an ice cream, not a book. ;)

[Ivon, I bring cookie, enjoy]

3. what's a nice, relaxing book for the beach

hmmm, i guess its just me who just gets so into a nice cheery book, or an engrosed fishing tale at the beach, ah well

[Becky]

3. What’s a nice relaxing book for the beach? I don't really read when I go to the beach but I think if I had to choose a book, it'd be some form of romantic manga :)

[Ivon, I bring cookie, enjoy]

4. Has a book ever made you want to go on holiday?

once, i was reading a book that talked about a couple things that apparently happened in france (wasn't real of course) but it gave me an urge to go over there.

[Victoria]

4. Not really. Mind you, most of what I read is usually set in made up places, and it would be quite tricky to visit those, LOL!

[Becky]

4. Has a book ever made you want to go on holiday?
Not really!

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

4. Has a book ever made you want to go on holiday?

Most books I read is about USA, so I always wanna visit there...

[Rea, Ghost]

I've read a few set in Russia that always leave me longing to visit various areas of the country.

[Olga]

4. Has a book ever made you want to go on holiday?

Oh, yeah. Paris in Love This is a memoir of the famous romance writer Eloisa James. She spent a year in Paris, and as I read it, I wanted to go there and retrace her steps. Paris through the eyes of a romance writer - what could be better. A delicious book.

[Jeshu]

3. Yes, to middle earth and the uk :D

[Victoria]

5. I've read a few strange books, though most of them made sense by the end (once I stopped to think about them) or were strange because of all the unusual things in them (like "Alice in Wonderland" and "Phoenix Watching"). I read one called "Sweet And Sour Pork" earlier this year though, which was meant to be an alternative of "The Three Little Pigs" but which made no sense to me. It might have been because I can't see the pictures, but it was just strange and confusing from my point of view, and all I could think at the end was, "that was weird!"

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

5. Strangest book you have ever read?

I have read loads of weird, and strange books but, here is 3 :

1)Bunny Attack!
2)Too Far
3)A Sweeter Rhythm

[Fiona (Titch)]

1. Favourite fiction Genre? All sorts don't really have a favourite anymore.

2. What books would you take on holiday? Depends on what I am reading, but this year I am taking Kindle, so depends on what mood I am in

3. What’s a nice relaxing book for the beach? Depends, it could be a Mystery/Thriller novel or it can a YA or even a Chick Lit novel

4. Has a book ever made you want to go on holiday? Some have, I'd love to go to France or Italy so far

5. Strangest book you have ever read? Not sure, I've read any lol

[Becky]

5. Strangest book you have ever read? Fifty Shades Of Gray.....
One of my friends dared me to read the whole book and I wish I hadn't!

[Jeshu]

5. I can't think of any book that i'd consider as strange... do graphic novel counts? Because I'm reading The Sandman by Neil Gaiman and that IS VERY STRANGE.

[Rea, Ghost]

5. L'Ecume des Jours by Boris Vian. It was seriously weird and that was made even worse by the fact that my French wasn't really strong enough to follow the story properly at the time.

[Ivon, I bring cookie, enjoy]

5. ive read books, but its mostly fantasy and adventure where a lot of wacky stuff happens anyway so, the whole genre for me really XD

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

6. Favourite character in a story?

I have loads, But if I had to pick.... a few.. they would be:

1. Tally from the The Uglies Trilogy
2. Clary from City of Bones series :P
3. Jace from City of Bones series :P
4. Simon from City of Bones series :P
5. Tessa from Clockwork Angel series :)
6. Will from Clockwork Angel series :)
7. Jem from Clockwork Angel series :)

and.. so on! :D

[Becky]

6. Favourite character in a story? hmm it's a tough choice but I'd choose Maia and Lochan from Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma :)

[Victoria]

6. Hmmm... I don't know. I love Dobby from the Harry Potter series, Aslan from the Chronicles Of Narnia series, the Cheshire Cat from Alice In Wonderland, Sarah from A Little Princess, Mr. Wonka from Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, and so on. Really you'd have to pick a book or series I've read and ask me who my favourite character from that book or series is if you want just one character to be named.

[Olga]

6. Favourite character in a story?

Definitely Miles Vorkosigan from Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga.

[Anoop]

6. Robert Langdon, from robert langdon series!!

[Jeshu]

6. I really like Eowyn and Pippin from LOTR

[Ivon, I bring cookie, enjoy]

6. favorite character in a story?

Poppy from poppy's war, she goes through a lot and still has time to make strange things happen

[Victoria]

7. There have been several, so I'm not sure which to mention. Hmmm... Let me think... "A Sock Full Of Pennies" grabbed my attention because of the title (turned out to be a pretty good read too) and so did "The Troll Trap" (another good read). There are others, some of which I've grabbed but not yet read, but those two will do.

[Becky]

7. What book title has drawn you in this year? Legend by Marie Lu :)
