I'm reading Openly Straight by Bill Konigsberg. It's about a guy named Rafe who has been openly gay since middle school, but in his hometown, he is known as the "gay guy." He transfers to an all boys boarding school across the country and decides to not tell anyone about his sexual orientation in order to try to shed his label. I'm about 8 chapters in right now, and I'm really enjoying it.

Have you ever named/nicknamed anything (person, pet or thing) after a character? Who and why?
I honestly can't think of a nickname that was given to me from a book. Hmm.Harry Potter, obvs. I love Harry Potter so much, and I will for the rest of my life because it's so amazing. I think I'd be a Hufflepuff even though Pottermore said that I would be in Gryffindor.
Can you think of a book you read that taught you something concrete that you’ve never forgotten? Tell us about it.
The only book that I can think of that has had a huge impact on my life (other than Harry Potter, duh) is Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I read it in middle school, and I just loved how these girls were completely different but they were so close and such good friends because they had known each other for their entire lives. I don't have a friend that I've known my entire life, but I do have a few really close girlfriends that I love love love.
