    I bought The new Harry Potter book too, but have to re-read the previous one before I can start it as I can't remember what happened. :p

    I Capture the Castle and other teenage fiction...

    I was reading Stephen King when I was about eleven, so I guess I can't help much. But I think I have read 'I Capture The Castle' and enjoyed it, but that might have been a different book. Try His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman, as I think they're suitable for adults and children, and are...

    Who is your favourite author, and why?

    Oooh...Hard decision to make, but based on the number of books I have read of each author I currently like, I'll say: Clive Barker: I really enjoyed The Great & Secret Show, Everville, Coldheart Canyon and Sacrament...but have been less impressed by the Abarat books. He is a very imaginative...

    Are school holidays to long?

    I've been off since May 20th...but technically I had my exams for about a month after that so it doesn't really count. But the summer holidays are great, but I can see why parents despair sometimes, and also it's harder to go back after such a long break.

    Books you wish you'd never bought in the first place!

    The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy by Robert Ludlum. I bought them after seeing the first film (this order of books and films doesn't bother me usually) and I found it so slow moving and dull that I struggled to stick with it. However, I persevered, and read the second one, which...

    Usernames!!!! How did you get yours?

    I was listening to the Scissor Sisters' song Return To Oz when I was signing up, and I love the line: "The patchwork girl has come to cinch the deal" so I used patchwork girl. Most of my usernames come from songs.

    How do you feel when....

    I have a friend who just starts reading the book again once she's finished it, if she liked it that much. I can't do that; I can read a book more than once, but not after I have just finished it. When I finish a book, I usually just start another one.

    Reading more than one book?

    I used to be able to read more than one book at a time when I was younger, probably because they generally have quite easy-to-follow plots etc. However, nowadays I have to read books one at a time, as I forget what has happened in one book if I have started to read another. This can become...
