book meme answers
Don't you like how I posted a meme then disappeared completely? LOL. The girl parts have not been behaving this week and then I had the weirdest allergy attack yesterday that put my out of commission for the whole day.
Anyhoo, here are the responses to the book meme:
C. Currently Reading -- The Girl with All the Gifts by M. R. Carey, The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story by Vivek Tiwary, Carsick by John Waters (audiobook)
D. Drink of Choice While Reading -- Hm, this depends on the time of year. Summer time would be something cool and refreshing, like lemonade. Winter, I'd opt for a hot cocoa or chai.
R. Reading Regret -- Twilight? Though I only got about 2/3 of the way through book 1 before I realized it was not what I thought it was. Still, could have been reading something better!
H. Hidden Gem Book -- Seabiscuit by Lauren Hillenbrand is one of the best books. She does a great job of making the history so read-able and I learned a lot about Depression Era America beyond what you find in text books. I learned about real people and real life.
I. Important Moments of Your Reading Life -- Probably when my Mom made a joke about 42 being the answer and I found out that the book on the shelf downstairs with the title The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was not about astronomy.
A. Author You’ve Read The Most Books From -- Hm, I'm guessing it's either Michael Crichton or Douglas Adams. Unless we go into the realm of comic books, then it would be Brian K Vaughan.
B. Best Sequel Ever -- UnSouled by Neal Shustermen, the sequel to Unwind. I was very skeptical about there being more to this series but the sequel blew me away and created a whole new level to the story.
G. Glad You Gave This Book A Chance -- on a whim at my grandparent's house, I picked up Devil in the White City and I was sucked in immediately and could not put it down until I finished it.
S. Series You Started and Need to Finish -- LOL so many, probably too many to list. I'd really like to read the rest of The Secret Series by Pseudonomys Bosch.
W. Worst Bookish Habit -- reading too many books at once and not reading books that I own because they don't have a due date. I have actually ADDED books to the library's collection just so I can check them out and be forced to read them in 3 weeks...it's sad but true.
M. Major Book Hangover Because Of -- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak was so good and so emotional, I couldn't read anything else for at least a month after. Every book I picked up was compared to that novel and it was always lacking.
Z. ZZZ-Snatcher (last book that kept you up WAY late) -- Saga, Volume 3 by Brian K Vaughan, the latest collection of the comic book series. I started it far too late and just had to finish it. So good.
E. E-Reader or Physical Books -- I don't read fast enough for an eReader to appeal to me, I'm fine with physical books. I can see the appeal but I also know that if you put electronics in my hand, I'm going to end up playing with them, not reading.
U. Unapologetic Fangirl For -- Douglas Adams books. And right now I tend to get very excited when a kid checks out any of the Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales books.
Y. Your Latest Book Purchase -- Um...hm...I don't buy books that often so it's hard to remember. I do plan on picking up the Joss Whedon biography at some point. My Mom got me the book about Dollhouse a few weeks ago. I think the last book I bought with my own money might have been Smile by Raina Telgemeier because she was at Books for the Beast and I NEEDED her autograph.
O. One Book That You Have Read Multiple Times -- Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
P. Preferred Place to Read -- Tend to read in bed, when my brain is the quietest and the day is winding down. Though I also like to read on my lunch break at work. (you see, I need to be away from any electronics because those distract me too much, I'm not a slow reader, I'm a distracted reader).
J. Just Finished -- not counting the picture book I read last night on the desk, the last book I finished was How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell, read by David Tennant. The last book I actually read with my eyeballs would be the Candy Capers Adventure Time comic book.
