30 Days of Books! Day Twenty Four.
Day 24 - A book that you wish more people would’ve read
I don't often read books that a lot of people haven't read, mostly because I take suggestions from people in my book groups, and we already have similar tastes. But sometimes I do come across the rare book that hasn't been overly discovered yet, and it's like having a best kept secret. And I ( Read more... ) -

Day 23 - A book you wanted to read for a long time but still haven’t
Today's question sucks. I have 231 books on my To Read shelf on GoodReads. Clearly I have tons of books that I've wanted to read for a long time, but haven't gotten to yet. So many, in fact, that I've stopped adding to that shelf. Among those listed are French Quarter Fiction: The ( Read more... ) -

Day 22 - Favorite book you own
A lot of these final questions are getting difficult to answer. I honestly don't have answers for a couple of them, so I will probably skip them instead of babbling with some suedo-made up answer. But today I do have an answer, and of course I have a copy of my favorite book ever, we already mentioned my love for The ( Read more... ) -

Day 21 - Favorite book (series) from your childhood.
Changing the question slightly once again because I don't have a favorite solo book. I believe I've said before that I have always been a series reader. Does anyone remember the Scholastic paper flyer thing that came around in school every month and you could order books in bulk with your class? I ( Read more... ) -
30 Days of Books! Day Twenty. (oh my).
Day 20 - Favorite romance book
I don't like stereotypical romance books. They do nothing for me and I find a lot of them quite dull. I was originally going to choose Dash & Lily's Book of Dares for today's question, but my mother showed up and started banging on about Christmas and I remembered the year she sent me a magazine with a bunch of things ( Read more... ) -

Day 19 - Favorite book turned into a movie
I am not a fan of the Jurassic Park books. Probably because I did see the movies first, and Michael Crichton's, may he rest in peace, writing was henceforth lost on me. The first book's theatrical adaptation was phenomenal though. I appreciate that Crichton wrote the screenplay, while it changes the story a ( Read more... ) -

Day 18 - A book that disappointed you.
Quite a years ago, I was given a copy of Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. It was the first biography-esque book I read for fun. And it was just that - fun. Sedaris has a way of writing about his life that makes everything amusing. I went on with things and forgot about the book until a couple of years ( Read more... ) -

Day 17 - Favorite book related quotes
I'm going to alter this slightly from the original "favorite quote from your favorite book" and make it an even "favorite quotes." Mostly because I don't have a favorite quote from The Shining, but I do have several book-related quotes saved that I absolutely adore. Below is a mish-mash of quotes I've favorited ( Read more... ) -

Day 16 - Favorite female character
As I said yesterday, picking and choosing favorites is hard. You would think that since I read so much it would be easier since I have a lot to pick from. But it's just not so!
I wound up picking two, an old favorite and a more recent finding. I love Margaret Lea from The Thirteenth Tale (which you all should read ( Read more... )
