Is There A Character That's Inspired or Moved You The Most?
What Book Got You Into Reading? I'd like to say Harry Potter but it wasn't. I really didn't get big into reading, like I am now, until I read The Hunger Games.

What Inspired You To Create a Book Review Site? My passion for reading has exploded this year. I've read nearly 100 books; my original goal of 2011 was 50, then it changed to 100 and recently, I've changed it again to 125 books. Reading is one of the most relaxing, intriguing and creative things to do, I believe. These authors create characters we become so passionate about, they create these new worlds we dream really existed but really, its the reader who truly makes it their own. I want people to love reading as much as I love reading and that is why I'm here, filling this out now! :)
