This isn’t even a procrastination station, books are by far my most favourite thing, even more than Galaxy chocolate - yep, fo’ real - so filling in questions, about my favourite things, is like some kinda rainbow-coloured dream fest - I’m so excited to read everyone’s answers too, so be sure to paste them into the comments or link me to your responses on your blogginz - ok, here are my answers:

1. What author do you own the most books by?
I own every Judy Blume book, EVER because reading Judy is an education.
I also own every Francesca Lia Block and Rachel Cohn book too, because they’re officially my favourite authors…

2. What book do you own the most copies of?
I have three copies of Weetzie Bat by Francesca Lia Block as I always like to have copies to give as presents…

3. Did it bother you that both those questions ended with prepositions?
Does it bother you that I don’t actually know what that means?!

4. What fictional character are you secretly in love with?
I love Shrimp in Gingerbread by Rachel Cohn - laid back, cute x 100 and says ‘you’re harshin’ my mellow’ - what’s not to love? I love Oscar in my book Time to Shine, I hoped that writing about a cute Irish geek-boy who liked all things retro and comic books would actually make him real - FYI: I’m still waiting. I’m also a li’l bit in love with Alex in I heart New York which is a book written by one of my besties, Lindsey Kelk, and it’s out in July - he’s so freakin’ hot in a New York, I’m-in-a-band kinda way - yumsville.

5. What book have you read the most times in your life?
Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret and Forever by Judy Blume - we’d read and re-read the rude bits in Forever in the school playground and giggle lots.

6. Favorite book as a ten year old?
Remember me to Harold Square by Paula Danziger - that’s when my love affair with New York really began, but I remember thinking at the time that Harold Square was an actual person, bless! I also LOVED the Anastasia Krupnik books by Lois Lowry - actually, I’m going to go purchase me some in order to re-live my youth - you should too, they’re amazing!

7. What is the worst book you’ve read in the past year?
Um…if I don’t like a book, I rarely finish it, so I haven’t actually read anything bad, I did read a children’s book by a famous person and found out that the famous person didn’t write it and got really mad, does that count?

8. What is the best book you’ve read in the past year?
s’far, it’s been Sarra Manning’s Unsticky - so, so good. I also have to give special mentions to Men, Money and Chocolate by Menna Von Pragg and I heart New York by my gal-pal Lindsey Kelk…

9. If you could force everyone you know to read one book, what would it be?
Weetzie Bat by Francesca Lia Block and The Creative Companion by SARK

10. What book would you most like to see made into a movie?
Is it wrong to say, I’d love, love, love for any of the Lola Love books to be made into a movie? It is? Oh well, then I’m wrong, because I’d LOVE for Lola to be on the big screen - think it would be AMAZING!

11. What is the most difficult book you’ve ever read?
Oh, I don’t have time for difficult books. Reading, for me, is my total pleasure and I don’t want it to ever be a struggle, I want it to be a completely indulgent experience, so if it feels like it might be a trickster, I don’t read it…

12. What is your favorite book?
Weetzie Bat and Necklace of Kisses by Francesca Lia Block and Gingerbread by Rachel Cohn.

13. Play?
Romeo and Juliet

14. Poem?
I like anything by Rumi, but my favourite poem of all time is Phenomenal Woman by Maja Angelou - go google it, INCREDZ.

15. Essay?
anything by girl o’ awesomeness, Hilary Carlip.

16. Who is the most overrated writer alive today?
The only over-rated writers are famous people who don’t actually write books, yet have books on the shelf with their name on it - makes me a li’l bit mad.

17. What is your desert island book?
Dangerous Angels by Francesca Lia Block - it’s a bind-up of all the Weetzie Bat books and is whimsical and fantastical - I love it!

18. And . . . what are you reading right now?
I’m reading a few at the moment - I’m re-reading Eat, Pray, Love because it makes me happy, The Goddess Diet by Anita Revel - it’s not an actual diet, it’s just goddess-girl awesomeness, 31 Dream Street by Lisa Jewell - she’s still got it, I love it and I’ve just finished Platinum by Jo Rees - wowzers, it’s RUDE!
