3) My favorite genre is realistic fiction and fantasy. Opposite genres, but both very interesting and enjoyable to read. I like realistic fiction because I can relate to the book and make connections. I read fantasy for my enjoyment and pleasure. Some of my favorite authors include L.M Montgomery, Tamora Pierce, J.K Rowling and Judy Blume (when I was young).

4) When I read, I always like it to be quiet. I don't listen to music because it distracts me and I can't fully concentrate on what's going on in the story. I'm not much of a reader, but once I start a book that catches my attention, I get totally absorbed into it and I can't stop reading.

5) I'm not against books being made into movies. Actually, when a popular book is made into a movie, I look forward to watching it. I always know that the movies will never be better than books, but I still find myself anticipate the upcoming movie. The reader can't help but be curious about the movie. You can now visualize the characters or the story and see it in motion.
