This post is where I combine 3 different Friday bookish blog hops and the questions posed by each. I just couldn't leave any out!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: Birthday Wishes — Blow out the candles and imagine what character could pop out of your cake…who is it and what book are they from?
This was really hard! I finally came to the conclusion that I need mothering advice. So I pick:
Marmie from "Little Women".
I'd like to know how she kept her sanity while raising 4 daughters when I'm holding onto mine by a thread with just 2!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q. Do you have a keeper shelf for books you loved? What books are on that shelf and why?
I don't really have a keeper shelf. I don't like to re-read books so as soon as I read a book I usually pass it along to someone else through http://www.paperbackswap.com/.
There are some books from my childhood on my headboard in my room at "Home" that I would never get rid of. I guess that would be my keeper shelf.

Q. Best I've Read So Far: We're half way through the year (crazy how time flies!), which top 3 books are the best you've read so far this year?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

I completely forgot about Little Women, that is such a great answer.

ReplyDeleteI'm a new GFC follower :) Have a great weekend.
I don't really like to re-read books either! Very rarely will I ever do that. I like to pass them along too or give them to the library!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your meme's and answers this week. Marmie would be a good one to meet. I too use paperback swap. I am griperang on there if you are interested. I have some books I have kept, here is the link to my blog so you can see my answer: http://griperangsbookmarks.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these books before but the covers are amazing. Definitely checking them out.
ReplyDeleteMarmie is a great answer! It's different and I like that.
ReplyDeleteHopping around late because of working at camp. My follow friday. Please visit!
You definitely took a different look at this question! There I was thinking of all the swoon-worthy vamps I could think of and you're being very practical.
