A Lovely Book Meme

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

Hehe, I did this meme a little bit different, because that's how I saw it on someones Blogger.

Anyway, I'll pick H & G

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.

I understand, if you like a certain adaptation of a classic story you don't want to read books which have a very different idea about how the story goes. It's always a bit dangerous reading Austen prequels and sequels for example, because different authors might have different ideas about our beloved Austen characters.

Yes, yes! I've heard recommendations here and there, but I've yet to try one.
