What do you read for pleasure?
When I'm not writing, I devour anything that draws me in - mystery, sci-fi, comedy, nonfiction, drama, fantasy, chick lit, pretty much everything but horror. I seem to devour romance novels most of all. They're great for in the bathtub after my monsters are in bed - a delicious escape from reality.
What are your five favorite books, and why?
I suppose it's a cop out to say all the Harry Potter books, so I'll count the series as one, because picking one would be like choosing a favorite child.
The Star Wars books, especially the New Jedi Order Series (sadly the extended universe series books are now relegated to the fanfiction realm thanks to the new movies) I prefer the ones that happen after the original movies.
Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom is such a charming, touching, and enlightening book. I simply adored it.
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adam is a book I read a long time ago and it just stuck with me. I gobbled it down during a flight and giggled the whole way. I had always been a nonfiction (and historical fiction) reader, strange for a teenager, but it was one that helped me branch further into fiction. It's sarcastic and fabulous.
