This needed to be done immediately
Thanks to oddmonster, there is finally a 30-day book meme floating around in the blogosphere! I've enjoyed seeing other people's 30-day TV and film memes, and now there's finally one that I am qualified to fill out! :) So, without further ado...
The 30-Day Book Meme
Day 01 - A book series you wish had gone on longer OR a book series you wish would just freaking end already (or both!)
Day 02 - A book or series you wish more people were reading and talking about
Day 03 - The best book you've read in the last 12 months:
Day 04 - Your favorite book or series ever
Day 05 - A book or series you hate
Day 06 - Favorite book of your favorite series OR your favorite book of all time
Day 07 - Least favorite plot device employed by way too many books you actually enjoyed otherwise
Day 08 - A book everyone should read at least once
Day 09 - Best scene ever
Day 10 - A book you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving
Day 11 - A book that disappointed you
Day 12 - A book or series of books you’ve read more than five times
Day 13 - Favorite childhood book OR current favorite YA book (or both!)
Day 14 - Favorite character in a book (of any sex or gender)
Day 15 - Your "comfort" book
Day 16 - Favorite poem or collection of poetry
Day 17 - Favorite story or collection of stories (short stories, novellas, novelettes, etc.)
Day 18 - Favorite beginning scene in a book
Day 19 - Favorite book cover (bonus points for posting an image!)
Day 20 - Favorite kiss
Day 21 - Favorite romantic/sexual relationship (including asexual romantic relationships)
Day 22 - Favorite non-sexual relationship (including asexual romantic relationships)
Day 23 - Most annoying character ever
Day 24 - Best quote from a novel
Day 25 - Any five books from your "to be read" stack
Day 26 - OMG WTF? OR most irritating/awful/annoying book ending
Day 27 - If a book contains ______, you will always read it (and a book or books that contain it)!
Day 28 - First favorite book or series obsession
Day 29 - Saddest character death OR best/most satisfying character death (or both!)
Day 30 - What book are you reading right now?
Day 01 - A book series you wish had gone on longer OR a book series you wish would just freaking end already (or both!)
I absolutely love Robin McKinley's Damar books, The Hero and the Crown and The Blue Sword, so I would love it if she wrote more books in that universe!
I kind of wish Deanna Raybourn's Lady Julia Grey series would just freaking end already. Don't get me wrong -- I really enjoyed the first three books! I just thought that the third book, Silent on the Moor, would be the last in the series. It seemed to resolve all the major conflicts nicely, and I was satisfied with the way everything ended. But apparently Raybourn is continuing with the series, and I fear it will become one of those painful neverending series where the author doesn't know when to quit.
