Know Me Better #4

Know Me Better is a weekly meme hosted by Kathy @ I Am A Reader, Not A Writer. Each week she will pick 5 questions off of her author interview lists to answer. She invites us to share our answers to these questions as well.

~This week's questions:

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
Favorite Literary Characters?
In your wildest dreams, which author would you love to co-author a book with?
Things that bring a smile to your face?
Do you have a favorite saying?

~If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
Ireland. I've never been there before but I really want to go there someday. It must be amazing to live there. 

~Favorite Literary Characters?
This is a really hard question. I could go on and on and my favorites change almost every week but some of my top favorites are Adrian Ivashkov and Sydney Sage from VA and Bloodlines, Barrons from Fever, Artemis Fowl, Oliver from Mind Over Monsters, Rachel from The Hollows, etc... 

~In your wildest dreams, which author would you love to co-author a book with?
Well, I'm not an author but in my wildest dreams I have to go high and say Eoin Colfer or Michelle Diener. Eoin, because he's an amazing writer. And Michelle because I also have a thing for history.

~Things that bring a smile to your face?
My little brother, Noah. Books. My pets; a dog named Pruts and bunny named Ducky and vacation at the coast.

~Do you have a favorite saying?
I don't think I have a favorite saying but I do love something me and my friend Em came up with the other day: "Even in the most stressed times, there is always time for reading."

Now it's your turn!
Share an answer to one or more of these questions as a comment or post your answers on your blog and link up!

To Catch A Vampire (A F.R.E.A.K.S. Squad Investigation #2) by Jennifer Harlow

I already read this book last summer when I got it from NetGalley but I really wanted to own it so I can re-read both the first book and this one before the 3rd book comes out this summer. It's one of my favorite series. Everyone should read it. So funny and cute and full of amazing characters who kick ass!

Artemis Fowl Audio Book by Eoin Colfer

AF is one of my favorite books ever. I was really sad when the series ended last summer so I decided to just start it all over but in audio book version. It's read by Adrian Dunbar who's Irish accent I love so much on this! :D

This week's question:

We always talk about books that WE want. Let’s turn it on its head. What books have you given other people lately?

The most recent book I gave to someone was for February Random Acts of Kindness which is hosted at Book Soulmates where you can send books to people without expecting anything in return, because it's a random act of kindness. 
I gave Industrial Magic by Kelley Armstrong to Mariska from Me and My Books.
