1. One book that changed your life? Two books actually. The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer and Harry Potter by JK Rowling. Harry Potter shaped my life. I picked it up when I was seven and it's been part of my life ever since. It's the reason I have one of my best friends. Twilight set me on to vampires. A two years ago before I picked up the books, I had no interest in vampires. Now at least a sixth of the books I own have to do with vampires and the supernatural. It also made it possible for me to be an extra in a movie, an experience I won't ever regret
2. One book you have read more than once? East by Edith Patrou. A very good book that is part Beauty and the Beast and part East of the Sun, West of the Moon
3. One book you would want on a desert island? If I can only have one, Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost. If I can have two, I'd add One Foot in the Grave by Jeaniene Frost
4. One book that made you laugh? Prom Dates fro Hell by Rosemary Clement-Moore. That book had me laughing every other page. It's marvelous
5. One book that made you cry? The Host by Stephenie Meyer. I was so sad thinking she'd give us an unhappy ending (albeit uplifting, which I've figured out just means it sucks less than it could) and then I started laughing in relief at the very end.
6. One book you wish had been written? Some of the books I've started. Hopefully they eventually will be written
7. One book you wish had never had been written? I don't wish any hadn't been written, I just wish I wasn't forced by classes to read some of them *coughErnestHemingwaycough*
8. One book you are currently reading? Hell Week by Rosemary Clement-Moore. It's the sequel to Prom Dates from Hell and it too is awesome.
9. One book you have been meaning to read? The Dresden books by Jim Butcher. My grandpa lent them to me and I like them so far but other books have gotten ahead in line. *grabs whip and trys to tame the To Read List. Fails and cowers under a chair*
10. Now tag five people. smilesmiley09 , bella_mom , texan_elf , papayacrazy , and twiphrider
As a side note, I finally finished the Halloween costume my mom started last year. Yay! Now I just need a circlet and some pretty slippers or something like that and I'm ready for Halloween
Stay smart people
