After the Fire by Will Hill. I'd love to know more about Moonbeam's story after leaving the rehabilitation unit.

Depending on the length, it can range from an hour, to all day. It rarely takes me more than a day to read any book, if I really enjoy it.

26. Do you like when books become movies?

It depends on the book. I think it's being overdone now though.

I don't think any book can be ruined because of its movie; I feel like people forget that they are two entirely different things, usually with a different take on the story.
