Not a real post. I'm just doing the book meme, ftw.
BOOK MEME
1) What Author Do You Own The Most Books By?
R.L. Stine, from back in the day, old school yo.
Second most, Stephen King
2) What Book Do You Own The Most Copies Of?
Probably...Lord of the Rings, that's the only thing I recall having multiple copies of.
3) What Fictional Character Are You Secretly In Love With?
No secrets here that I can think of, besides the people that I don't really get a chance to 'fangirl' about. It's not like I'm actively hiding my love though.
4) What Book Have You Read More Than Any Other?
Bambi by Felix Salten, the Darlington Library has the check out card to prove it.
Followed closely by Micheal Crichton's Jurassic Park.
5) What Was Your Favorite Book When You Were 10-Years-Old?
Liiike...5'th Grade? I'm not sure. I remember being really in love with The Island of the Blue Dolphins in elementary school, and I think that was later on. A Wrinkle In Time maybe, I think I read that around then.
6) What Is The Worst Book You've Read In The Past Year?
Twilight.
7) What Is The Best Book You've Read In The Past Year?

8) If You Could Tell Everyone You Know To Read One Book, What Would It Be?
Lord of the Rings, one author to rule them all...
9) What Is The Most Difficult Book You've Ever Read?
Dandelion Wine...only because it was very difficult to keep myself from burning it, lmao. On a technical level...Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice (good god was that...let's just say heavy) or Frankenstein for psychological/philosophical reasons. Beloved by Toni Morrison ranks up there too.
