The question of the week:
Keeping with the Spirit of Giving this season, what book do you think EVERYONE should read and if you could, you would buy it for all of your family and friends?

It is hard to chose one... I would have to say the Leviathan series, as I think it would please most of my friends and family. I could buy the audiobook (which is amazing) for my dad that drives a lot, and buy a paperback for my friends and my sister. 
An other choice would be the Mortal Instruments series, or the Infernal Devices, two series I adore. I think they would please them too. 
As you can see, I really like series, though I prefer trilogies to never ending series....
What about you guys?

The question of the week:
Q. What book that hasn't been turned into a movie (yet) would you most like to see make it to the big screen, and who would you like cast as your favorite character?
I can't cast anyone for any books I've read. That's the thing; If a book I love was turned into a movie, I would rather have a new unknown actor playing the main characters. I don't want to think "oh, yeah, it's the guy that played in that other movie" during the whole movie. When it comes to what book I would love to see turn into a movie, I would say any book written by Kelley Armstrong! Love the Women of the Otherworld series, and of course, her YA series.

The question of the week:

In books like the Sookie Stackhouse (True Blood) series the paranormal creature in question "comes out of the closet" and makes itself known to the world. Which mythical creature do you wish would come out of the closet, for real?

Vampires, fo course! Who wouldn't want vampires to be real. Not the Edward Cullen kind of vampire. I want the Vampire Eric kind of vampire. Imagine a world where there are vampires like him. Ahhh, so dreamy. It's not that I would be unhappy if werewolves came out too. They are after all really hot too, but vampires just always felt sexier to me. 
What about you guys?

The question of the week:

Q. How has your reading habits changed since you were a teen? or If you are still a teen what new genres are you in love with currently?

The big difference in my reading habits in the last few years is that I now read a lot more of YA than I used to read. When I was younger, I thought I was cool because I was reading adult books when all my friends were reading children books instead. I was reading a lot of Stephen King, Mary Higgins Clark and Chuck Palahniuk Now, I read mostly YA, because it is the kind of book that I connect the most with.

The other big difference is that I now read mostly in English, simply because I prefer to read the authors' words instead of the translators' words.

Q. Talk about the book that most changed or influenced your life (was it a book that turned you from an average to avid reader, did it help you deal with a particularly difficult situation, does it bring you comfort every time you read it?).

It is definitely Harry Potter. It made me addicted to books. I start reading this series I was about 9 years old. My aunt had brought her copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (Harry Potter à l’école des sorciers in French) from Switzerland. She lived there and told us how popular it was getting in Europe and gave her copy to my sister. I already liked book had that time, and because my sister didn’t take the time during that summer to read it, I did. I fell in love with the world, and I have been since then.

This series always have been there to cheer me up through every thing in my life. I don’t remember how many times I’ve read it. I’m in love with the characters. I just think it shows how people my age were dealing with so many things, some of which I was going through (Not fighting a dark wizard of course, but the emotional stuff.)

Harry Potter is also what got me reading books in English. It made me fall in love with the language, motivating me to change from a French college, to an English one. Since then, I’ve been reading mostly the original version of any books that I’m interested in, unless it is Japanese…
