A-Z Survey
Jaime from The Perpetual Page-Turner has created a wonderful weekend activity, the A-Z Survey, and has invited all Bloggers that would like to also participate to do so and leave their link in her comments section. Click on the banner above to read Jaime's A-Z survey post, and if you'd like to participate do a post like I've done below and Jaime's done on her blog, and leave a link in Jaime's A-Z Survey post in the comments box so we can all visit your blogs too!
Author You've Read The Most Books From
Thanks to Jaime I was able to use the Goodreads "Most Read Authors" link, and according to Goodreads my most read Author is Charlaine Harris! Goodreads doesn't have all my read books but I have try to keep it as up to date as I could, but since I have no way to guess any other way I'm going with what Goodreads says.
Addition to Original answer:- was reading through another A-Z Survey and was reminded of my Nancy Drew and Sweet Valley High Days, so theoretically my most read Authors would probably be Francine Pascal with Carolyn Keene a close second.

Best Sequel Ever
Currently Reading
Drink of choice while reading
Coke - I know this is terrible but this is the only thing I drink...I know disgusting right?
E-Reader or Physical Book
While I'm starting to love my Nook and ebooks my preference is still Physical Book.
Fictional Character you probably would have dated in High School
When I'm reading my YA novels I don't really think of the leading man as a potential boyfriend because I feel too old LOL so I always think of them as "kids", but my latest swoon is Jordan from Letters to Nowhere by Julie Cross.
Glad you gave this book a chance
Hidden Gem Book
Residue by Laury Falter
Addition to original answer: I was reminded of Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink by another blogger, I know I mentioned it below in the "S" question, but I really should add it to "Hidden Gem" too.

Important Moment in your reading life
Two memorable moments in my reading life, once when I read the Harry Potter Series and then again when I read the Twilight series, both these series got me out of a reading slump which lasted for a few years. I loved reading as a child all through the start of High School but when I left school I didn't read as much...until I read these series', Harry Potter started me back to reading a little bit more, then Twilight got me back to reading heaps more about 4 years later, so for 4 years in between reading the two series I was reading minimal but still reading, which was better than not at all.
Just Finished
Kind of Books you won't read
I'm quite open to all genres, but I tend to not be able to read too much of a Religious novel, and whilst I'm open to reading Erotica, but haven't as yet, I probably wouldn't review it on my blog since I mostly target Young Adult novels, so I don't want under 18s to see such content.
Longest Book You've Read
I don't know if it's the longest book I've ever read but it certainly felt like it; The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson which according to Goodreads has editions of up to 644 pages. I can't recall how many pages my edition was though.
I've since read Jaime's post and she showed a way where I can find my longest book read that's listed on Goodreads, and the longest book it's listing is Thirst 1 by Christopher Pike, but since this is made up of 2-3 books in one I'll disregard that and go with the second choice which is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak at 584 pages.
Major Book Hangover Because of
I don't really understand what this question is, but from what I think it is, I'd have to say The Twilight Series.
Number of Bookcases You Own
2 Large sized bookshelves and 2 slimline bookshelves
One Book You've Read Multiple Times
I'm going to exclude books that are part of a series as I tend to re-read series books each time a new book is released eg. if book 4 is released I will re-read books 1-3 prior to reading the newly released book 4, it's just the way I do things.
So the one book that isn't a series that I've read more than once is The Constant Princess by Philippa Gregory
Preferred Place To Read
Anywhere relaxing and quiet but I most especially love anywhere by the water eg. next to the beach on a hammock is my ideal place.
Quote that Inspires You/Gives you all the Feels From a Book You've Read
I couldn't think of any, so I went to a book that I highlighted a lot of quotes from, Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell:
"Eleanor was right. She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something."
Reading Regret
Not reading more than I can! There's so many books in my ever growing TBR pile that I wish I had more time to just read, read and read some more!
Series You Started And Need To Finish
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead, Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz, Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink I can go on and on LOL.
Three of Your All Time Favourite Books
Unapologetic Fangirl For
Very Excited For This Release More Than All Others
Requiem by Maggie Stiefvater (Books of Faerie #3)
Worst Bookish Habit
