Do signed copies excite you? Tempt you? Delight you? Or does it not matter to you?
Briana: I love getting signed copies! It's an autograph from the person that just created a story good enough to get published. It's definitely exciting because the person that just created an amazing story didn't just have a printed copy given to you by the publishing company. They took the time to sign it and I feel it's so much more personal, even though they probably sign 100 books a day lol.
Which do you prefer? Short stories? Or full-length novels?
Briana: Definitely full-length novels! I hate only spending a few pages with a character compared to hundreds, especially if I love the character.

If you could ask your favorite author (alive or dead) one question … who would you ask, and what would the question be?
Arielle: Hmm..This is actually a hard question since I really dont know what to ask! I think I would ask Stephen King why he likes to write weird stories like he does. Where does he come up with all this creepiness? And how does he not get scared just thinking about his books as he is writing them? I havent really read a lot of his books, but I do know people that have and I guess just the fact that they are almost all scary books, is kinda freaky. I bet he is a nice guy though :) ha.

We’re moving in a couple weeks (the first time since I was 9 years old), and I’ve been going through my library of 3000+ books, choosing the books that I could bear to part with and NOT have to pack to move. Which made me wonder…
When’s the last time you weeded out your library? Do you regularly keep it pared down to your reading essentials? Or does it blossom into something out of control the minute you turn your back, like a garden after a Spring rain?
Or do you simply not get rid of books? At all? (This would have described me for most of my life, by the way.)
Suggested by Monibo:
Saw this article (from March) and thought it would make a good BTT confessional question:
Two-thirds of Brits have lied about reading books they haven’t. Have you? Why? What book?
Arielle: I am pretty sure I have lied about reading a book at one point in time...like for a class project. There was this one book that I had to read for my Modern Euro class, it was about Marie-Therese: Marie Antoinette’s Daughter. Dont get my wrong, it was pretty interesting..but it was far too long and wasnt that entertaining to read. So I kinda fibbed to my teacher that I read the whole thing, big deal..I still got an AB on the 5 page paper we had to write. Now that I think about it..I kinda feel a little bad for lying, but if you had seen this book you would have done the same thing! :)
Briana: Well, I've never lied about reading a book for pleasure. But like Arielle said, I would flip through pages and not totally read a whole book for class... lol.

What’s the saddest book you’ve read recently?
(Is any body getting bored with this series of “recent” questions? Because I’m having fun!)
Arielle: I really cant remember the last very sad book I read, but.. Dreamland by Sarah Dessen makes me a little emotional. Yet it is still a good book in my opinion.

Arielle: I would have to agree with Briana. Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick is such an amazing book! I love it so much. It was so great to read, it never had a dull moment! :)
