Every week my critique partner, Kendra Merritt, and I meet to catch up, write, edit, critique and share goals. A few weeks ago during one of our meet ups, we decided to do an A to Z book survey. The survey has been floating around on the internet for a while. Google it and you will find lots of author's answers.
Here are my answers.
Click here to go say hi to Kendra and read her answers.
Author you’ve read the most books from:
Diane Chamberlain
Best Sequel Ever:
I don't know...I'm not a big sequel fan. I haven't really found one I love....not yet.
Currently Reading:
Drink of Choice While Reading:
Mango- Lemonade
E-reader or Physical Book?
Mostly E-book, but I still enjoy physical books, too.
Fictional Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated In High School:
I totally have a character crush on Walking Dead's Darrel Dixon...sadly he is not in the graphic novels. However, not so sure I would have dated him in high school...but I would want him around if there is ever a zombie apocalypse, that's for sure. :)

Glad You Gave This Book A Chance:
Walking Dead. I'm not a big graphic novel reader, but I really loved the experience and the Walking Dead is so much more than a zombie tale...even in graphic novel form.
Hidden Gem Book:
Don't have an answer...sorry. I'll post back if I think of one.
Important Moment in your Reading Life:
When I started teaching.
Just Finished:
Beta reading Susan Oloier's Travel memoir and I loved it!
Kinds of Books You Won’t Read:
Bad ones
Longest Book You’ve Read:
There's been a few. But I enjoy the under 400 page books the best. The long ones seem to drag on and on.
Major book hangover because of:
Jodi Picoult's books. Regardless of if I liked the story line or not, her books always seem to provoke loads of emotion- good or bad- and sit with me long after I put them down.
Number of Bookcases You Own:
One huge one and a couple of small ones...but this doesn't include my virtual book shelf-- that one is growing and growing!
One Book You Have Read Multiple Times:
To Kill a Mocking Bird (There are many other books, too...)
Preferred Place To Read:
In bed under the covers
Quote that inspires you/gives you all the feels from a book you’ve read:
Don't have one...could scour the internet for a fun quote but that would be just as boring...
Reading Regret:
Wasting time on a bad book when there are so many other great books out there to read. I will always put a bad book down.
Series You Started And Need To Finish(all books are out in series):
Not a big series fan. I will read the first couple books in a series but never care to finish. Too many other great books out there to read.
Three of your All-Time Favorite Books:
Don't really have favorites....changes depends on mood, time, and place.
That being said, I really, really love all of Susan Oloier's books- if you haven't read them yet- do. She is an amazing story teller and her characters are well developed. Love her writing!
I also really enjoyed 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher and have re-read multiple times.

Unapologetic Fangirl For:
The Walking Dead
Very Excited For This Release More Than All The Others:
Nothing right now.
Worst Bookish Habit:
I don't have any crazy habit...lol!
X Marks The Spot: Start at the top left of your shelf and pick the 27th book:
What bookshelf do you want me count?
Your latest book purchase:
Too many to write here because I just went to the local library used book sale and bought bags and bags of them. Some that made it in the bag are 11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass, 12 Finally by Wendy Mass, Ender's Game, A few Nancy Drews, Pretty Little Liars....
ZZZ-snatcher book (last book that kept you up WAY late):
I'm up way too late every night- no matter what....
I would love to hear your answers. Leave a comment or link back and let me know!
Have a great day!
Best to all-
Becca

What a great idea :) I don't know about answering all 26 (geez, too much thinking in one day! ;) ) but I love, love, love To Kill a Mockingbird, too, and have read it may times. I'm currently reading Barbara Kingsolver's newest, "Flight Behavior". And I am in a serious fangirl twist over "Into The Woods", the movie!
Very interesting. I love a good series. If I love the characters I don't have to let them go for a good long time. I can live in that world for more than 400 pages. I love that!!!
Darrel? You would have dated a Darrel? LOL! That's fabulous. I don't know how you can live without sequels though. I mean, don't you meet characters you want to revisit?
@Robin and Crystal- Sure and I get caught up in them for a few books...but then I am on to something else. I don't know...maybe the story lines start to bore me...not the characters.
@Crystal- no i wouldn't have dated Darrel in high school...but if there is a zombie apocalypse I would want him on my side. Total character crush. :)
@Liz- I love a lot of Kingsolver's books. Really enjoyed Pigs in Heaven and Bean Trees. Haven't read many of her newer ones though.
I recently finished The Fault in Our Stars. The book tore at my heart, it's great and heart wrenching-- too life-like. Really like Kingsolver's writing, haven't gotten into the Walking Dead.
Neat list!
I enjoyed reading your answers. :)
Rebecca,
It sounds like you're a voracious reader.
Fun Meme! I'm not much for the really long books either. An epic fantasy can go over 400 pages, but not by a lot.
I loved Susan's travel memoir too!
Okay, I must be out of touch because this is the first time I've read this A-Z challenge. It's great learning more about you! Tell me what you think about the Nicholas Sparks' books. I usually like his stories, but sometimes they're a bit hit-n-miss (like I feel that he's stuck something in there just to make it more melodramatic).
Rebecca, I am speechless right now. I feel the very same way about your book. You've absolutely brightened my evening. In fact, I feel absolutely illuminated.
I so want to read 13 Reasons Why. I need to get on that. Love the post--as always.
Oh man... The Fault in our Stars is the best book I've read this year... it's phenomenal. LOVED it... !!!!
Lol...I love the part about Dixon:) Great set of questions and answers:)
I haven't heard of this survey either. Very cool! And YAY for The Walking Dead series.
What great questions. I love To Kill A Mockingbird too - read it at school and couldn't stop thinking about it for ages.
Terrific questions and answers.
I enjoy meme's like this because we get to know more about you!
Have a great weekend Rebecca!
Aren't library book sales the best? I love them!
And I love Susan's books as well. Can't wait until her travel memoir is out in the world as I know it will be fantastic.
Great concept. That must have been fun for you and your CP! My U answer would be Unapologetic fangirl for the British show, Survivors. Found it on Netflix, and I'm hooked! Writer’s Mark
Goodness, this was quite interesting, Rebecca. Very cool to see what you find fun to read. :) I read a lot of literary fiction and mainstream fiction.
This is such a fun feature. :-)
Ender's Game is a must-read, btw.
