Shamelessly stolen from litlover12. I think you read my mind, because I was just thinking about wishing a clever meme would land my way. :D
( Read more... )
Hmmm, whom would I have dated? Oh, I know! Traddles from David Copperfield. I loved him so much, and I still do! (I picked him mostly because all my other teenage crushes were a wee bit old for a teen, like Mr. Knightley.)
You certainly may choose two! Three of my all-time favorite books are Little House in the Big Woods, Old Yeller, and The Princess Bride. (Tried to choose ones you may not have heard me gush about before. :D)
Oh, I can't remember which exactly was my latest, but I think it was One Salt Sea by Seanan McGuire. It's part of an awesome series about a half-elven P. I. in San Fran. (It does have some language and other things, though.)
My hidden gem book is The Merry Adventure of Robin Hood, by Howard Pyle.
Ooops, almost forgot to answer G! It's definitely Paranormalcy by Kiersten White. I liked the cover and picked it up on a whim, and was in for a very funny and quirky paranormal (obviously) adventure.
I haven't heard of either of the books you mentioned, but The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood sounds really interesting. Is it your favourite book about Robin Hood (if you've read many others)
I haven't read very many Robin Hood books, but that's because I love Howard Pyle's style so much, I'm pretty much satisfied with his interpretation. :) It's very jolly and witty, and it feels more organic and just . . . accurate, I guess is the word I'm searching for.
Yay, please do steal it! :D The author I've read most prolifically? Hmmm. Probably a three-way tie between Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, and Seanan McGuire. I'm currently reading a giant collection of Orson Scott Card's short stories, and I'm just beginning "A Plague of Butterflies.*
Jane Austen for the win! ♥ Orson Scoot Card sounds interesting! I didn't know him before, but I've just found that a movie was done after one of his books! :D
His work is very interesting. I'm just realizing that he is able to write many genres very well, unlike a lot of authors who specialize in just one or two. It's really encouraging me, because if my dream is realized, I'll be an author who can write many genres, too. It's comforting to know somebody's done it before.
