Would you say:

J'ai beaucoup aimé ce livre or j'ai aimé beaucoup ce livre?

There seems to be a subtle difference between en même temps and à la fois when expressing "at the same time"; can you state the general rule?

Dans la phrase "...donc je suis resté à la maison...", j'ai choisi "chez moi " au lieu de "à la maison".  Pourquoi est-ce que "chez moi" n'est pas correct ? 

Lise connaissait un super restaurant local.

Je porte des vêtements superbes. (this sentence is from another writing exercise, Louis XIV)

When do I use 'super' and when do I use 'superbe'?

Citrouille and Potiron both means pumkin in english. 

Is there any difference in its usage? One is more formal?

I don't understand why you use "alors" instead of "donc". I don't get it because alors means so (then, yet) and donc means so, as well (therefore).
