30 Day Book Challenge, Days 14-22

I have seriously been slacking, sorry.

D and I took a weekend trip to AC and had a great time. I also started provera in prep for IVF#3. Can't believe we're doing it again.

Day 14 – Favorite book of your favorite writer

I'll go with Harper Lee and you guessed it, To Kill a Mockingbird.

Day 15 – Favorite male character

Eric from Southern Vampire Chronicles, he is so sexy and Ranger from the Stephanie Plum series, again, he is so sexy! I have a thing for bad boys with hearts of gold. Is it bad that I have crushes on characters in books?

Day 16 – Favorite female character

Hmm, I will go with Hermoine Granger, from HP. Love her, she's a true and loyal friend, very smart and brave and gets to be the brightest witch of her age, what's not to love?

Day 17 – Favorite quote from your favorite book

This is hard......

"The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid."
— Jane Austen (Northanger Abbey)

Day 18 – A book that disappointed you

When you read series, you are bound to be disappointed at times. Especially when you wait forever for a book and then it wasn't all that you expected it to be.

I'm going with the last book from the Southern Vampire Chronicles, A Touch of Dead.

Day 19 - Favorite Book turned into a Movie

I'm going with the Harry Potter series. As much as the movies annoy me (when they leave imp stuff out!), I love seeing the books come to life.

Day 20 – Favorite romance book

The Magic of You by Johanna Lindsay, pure cheese but such a cute story :)

Day 21 – Favorite book from your childhood

My parents never read to me, English was not their first language so I don't have memories of them reading to me or favorite first type book.

One series I loved when I was in grammar school was the Girls of Canby Hall by Emily Chase

Day 22 – Favorite book you own

What book don't I own? My book shelves are jammed. D calls reading my crack. For the last few years I have discovered the wonders of the NY city library system and have stopped buying books. The exception to this is if I really love a book and I need to own it. After borrowing The Help from the library I had to have it on my shelves :) Great book!
