11 questions from Avanti
1. What are you currently reading & why did you choose that book?
I just started to read  Fifty shades of grey by E.L.James. I wasn't interested in this book for a long time, but when my friends all started to read it, I couldn't be the ONLY one who hasn't. And I really want to know where the hype is all about.

2. Why do you love reading so much?
I like the feeling I get when I get sucked into a story and the 'real world' disappears. It makes me feel a bit like being in the story myself, looking in from the outside. 

3. Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging because I wanted to share my thoughts about the books I read. I really like the book community and the kind ways we all communicate with each other. It's such a nice platform to talk about books :)

4. If you could be any character for a day, who would it be?
Oh, that's a hard question. I think I would love to live in the magical world of Harry Potter. I guess I would like to be any character, just to walk into the castle and do all the things they get to experience, that would be so nice!! Maybe I want to be Hermione, because she rocks :)

5. When you finish a book do you keep it or pass it on?
Most of the time I keep a book, but if I really like it, I try to convince my friends to read it as well, and I have no problem with lending a book to one of my friends. In fact, when I read the Hunger Games, I told EVERYONE  who listened to me they needed to read the book and they could borrow it from me.

6.Favorite movie & why?
Hmm..my favorite movie.. I think I can't just pick one.. I thought the Hunger games movie was really good, I love all the Harry Potter movies( obviously) and I also love the Lord of the ring movies. I guess it's okay if I say all of those? The hunger games movie stayed really close to the book and I loved the feeling of the film. The Harry Potter movies, well, do I need to explain why? It's this wonderful, magical world and I love fantasy. The same arguments goes for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Love the fantasy!

7. Favorite book to movie adaptation?
It's gotta be the Hunger games adaptations, probably because I watched it recently so it's still fresh in my memory. 

8. What type of music do you like?
I like R & B, soul and house music. So a little bit of everything. I like artists as Alicia keys, Wil I am,  Enrique Iglesias, Jesse J and more I can not think of right now.

9. Where's your favorite place to read?
I love to read in bed, in the morning or in the evening. Nice and warm, with my little nightlight on and my cat sleeping next to me :)

10. Favorite hobby besides reading?
I love to draw, play the piano, watch tv series or movies and dining with friends.

11. If you could go anywhere right now, where would you go?
I would love to see more of the world. Right now I only visited counties in Europe, but I would definitely  want to visit the US someday. I also love to visit somewhere tropical like Hawaii.
