Baby-Sitters on Board!. I loved these super special ones that were different to the regular series.

Do you read out loud to anyone/yourself?

[Chloe]

I read to the kids (oldest is still happy to sit and listen to a kiddie story when I read to the youngest ;) )

Have you set a goal for reading this year?

[Dale]

Yes 165 books is my challenge.
What is your favourite genre?

[Suz]

Contemporary/mystery thriller/aww. That's cheating, I guess. Hard to answer succinctly!

Do you have a book reading quirk?

[Suz]

Well I'm asking silly questions as no one answers them!

One of mine is that I am a bit ocd when it comes to choosing my next one.. I seem to make it all a bit harder than it needs to be ;)

What book have you read that may be a little controversial?

[Tarmia]

I suppose the book that I have read that is considered the most controversial is Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. But my favourite 'controversial' book I have read was definitely Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. I loved it, and although I know WHY I still find it hard to actually internalise why it is considered controversial.

Is there a popular book that a lot of people like that you do not?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Gone Girl

Same question

[Chloe]

OK, I'll answer your questions, Suzanne!!

A book reading quirk: ummmmm .... I don't think I have one unless the counts as one: I have to have AT LEAST 2 books ready to read or I make an emergency trip to the library. I really don't know what I'd do if I didn't have one ready to go when I finished the last one! Panic maybe?? LOL

A controversial book? I can't think of anything controversial that I have read.

EDITED TO ADD: Oops, I must not have refreshed - I missed some comments!

So, to answer Brenda's question: The Girl with All the Gifts

Again, the book you read that you hated that everyone else loved?

Favourite antagonist?

[Suz]

Antagonist? Mmm I'm trying to think of someone specific but can't. But I do love when people try to outsmart Myron Bolitar in Harlan Coben series!

Last author you met in person? If you have not, who would you like to meet?

[Suz]

My last meet was Fiona Higgins, she was lovely. Her book was great too ;)
