Day 21 - Favorite fictional romantic relationshipI have to say, despite my preference for Captain Wentworth and Anne Elliot, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice are my favorite fictional romantic relationship. They even beat out Ron and Hermione, strictly because P&P is about their budding relationship, and you know, not about wizard ( Read more... )

Day 20 - Favorite kiss or love sceneHow could this be anything other than when Ron and Hermione finally (and I do mean FINALLY) kissed at the near end of Deathly Hallows ( Read more... )

Day 19 - Best ensemble of characters in a bookOh...man. Where to start ( Read more... )

Day 18 - Favorite book coverShould I be judging a book by it's cover? No, of course not. But, I admit, a cool cover does make me at least pick it up and see what it's about. And while I think Alan Moore's Watchmen is one of the better covers I've seen (which makes sense given it's a graphic novel), I have to give it to Chuck Palahniuk's Rant, ( Read more... )

Day 17 - Favorite trilogy or tetralogyThis is hard because I'm not sure I've ever read one, discounting Lord of the Rings, which my copy is actually all in one volume anyway. I guess I could say Gregory Maguire's "Wicked" series, but... I haven't finished it! I've only read Wicked and Son of a Witch, and have yet to pick up the third, A Lion ( Read more... )

Day 16 - Your guilty pleasure bookI have not so much a guilty pleasure book, but a guilty pleasure author, Phillippa Gregory. She writes semi-romance historical fiction, aka The Other Boleyn Girl and the like. She's done a whole series on the Tudors, which I loved, and has started one on the period just before that, during the War of the Roses. ( Read more... )

Day 15 - Favorite female characterThis is hard. As I said yesterday, most of the books I read have a female lead, so to pick one is really, really hard to do ( Read more... )

Well, life interrupted this meme, so I figured I'd pick up where I left off and hope to finish.

Day 14 - Favorite male characterIt just struck me that the majority of the books I read either have a female lead or are historical or based on historical events, therefore making a favorite character of any sort seem strange to me (more like picking my ( Read more... )

Day 13 - Favorite childhood bookProbably the Little House series by Laura Ingles Wilder. I remember first reading Little House on the Prarie and then becoming so excited when I realized there was more than just that one book. I'm sure I started reading them because of the television show, and it's probably from the books that I learned how much ( Read more... )

Day 12 - An book you’ve read more than twiceThis is hard, because I almost always read a book more than once. Some books I read at least once a year, sometimes more. However, I'm going with Wicked by Gregory Maguire because I actually had to read it twice before I liked it ( Read more... )
