      About how long does it take you to read, say, one hundred pages?

      It really depends on the book. If it's dense non-fiction, it can take awhile. If it's something easy, like YA, I can probably read 100 pages in less than 30 minutes.

      Do your friends and family also enjoy reading?

      Most of my family and friends do enjoy reading, but not all of them.

      How do you like reading on an e-reader?

      I like it, but not as much as reading print books. I love the feeling of print, but reading on an ereader is definitely easy. I will say I don't love reading on a tablet - after a couple of hours, my eyes get tired.

      I got approved for Velveteen and Meant To Be on Edelweiss (Yay! =D). But I have no idea how to download my review copy. I see the Review Copy tab on the right hand side but there is nothing below it. Help, please! [4]

      I haven't used Edelweiss for review copies, so I'm sorry I can't help!

      What book should I read next: When You Were Mine by Rebecca Serle or Pushing the Limits by Katy McGarry? [2]

      I have not read either of these books, so I don't know!

      You can pick one to read and you'll never be able to read the other again: pick between Insurgent and a new Harry Potter book. :P

      New Harry Potter book, definitely!

      Have you ever considered writing your own book?

      I have! Not seriously, but I've entertained the idea that at some distant point in the future, I may want to write a book. Right now, I've found that I enjoy reading the words of others more than I want to write my own.

      Long hair or short hair?

      Long!! (at least on me.)

      1. How will you put an elephant in a fridge in 3 steps? 2. How will you put a zebra in a fridge in 4 steps?

      I get that these are riddles. But I have no idea.

      3. The King of the Jungle, the lion, is having a wedding ceremony. All of the animals come to attend the ceremony except one. Which one is it and why doesn't it come?

      Umm...the uncle's evil lion brother who eventually kills him, banishes his son, and rules in his place until the son comes back and kills him?

      4. A man has to desperately cross the river to get from one place to the other in a jungle. The river is known for having deadly alligators in it. There is no boat. How is he going to make it to the other place?

      Jump on the alligators' backs? No??

      I learn so much from every book that I read but people tell me spend more time reading non-fiction than fiction. Will they ever understand? *_*

      I love reading non-fiction, but probably 75% of what I read is fiction. There's no reason you can't learn from fiction!!

      Do you think a Facebook page is the best way to go about Promoting a blog or do you think it's not needed?

      I think Facebook is definitely necessary! Even if you just use something like Networked Blogs and send your RSS feed to Facebook automatically, people consume their online reading in different ways. I think it's a good idea to reach out in as many ways as possible without bugging your readers.

      What was the ONE book that made you bawl your eyes out?

      Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda. I cried like crazy at that one!!

      yeah I suppose they get all sticky in summer but they do look good. Do you have to wear them in summer?

      I definitely don't.

      What was the last dystopian book you read? Did you like it? [18]

      The last dystopian book I read was Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver (the sequel to Delirium), and I did enjoy it very much!

      I'd like to read a light contemporary YA book, any suggestions? [11]

      I'm a big fan of Elizabeth Scott, Susane Colasanti, and C.K. Kelly Martin. All of them write contemporary YA fiction!

      Hey what do you love & hate about tights in the summer?

      I HATE tights in the summer. In the winter they are warm and cozy. In the summer, they are hot and itchy and just generally uncomfortable. But I suppose they look good, winter or summer, so there's that.

      Which book have you read that had the most surprise ending? Keep up the fantastic work on your site, by the way. It's one of my favorites. :) - Rajni

      Thanks! Surprise ending, hmm...that's a tough one. The Man from Primrose Lane by James Renner surprised me quite a bit, as did Jennifer Johnson is Sick of Being Single by Heather McElhatton.

      I really would like to know your schedule and how you manage time!! I just can't resist asking you this in spite of reading what you have answered in the 'about me' of your blog! - Kiti

      I'm really glad you didn't ask me how I read so fast because that is one question I just can't answer! As far as how I manage my schedule, I just try to be as efficient as possible. I do multitask quite a bit. I work during the day, and try to finish up around 5:30 (though the earlier I finish up, the more reading time I have!) I usually cook dinner (or make my husband take me out!) and then read some more or spend time with him, depending on if he has to work. I also try to read during the day on Sundays, though with the amount of traveling we've been doing lately, it's become increasingly difficult.
