Booklust or One Book (Original title)

Say it Rah-shay By Mar 16, 2009 No Comments

I borrowed this from a blog one night as I tried to sleep but failed miserably.
Of course I didn’t stick with “one book”.
I don’t remember what site I found this on. Sorry!

1. One book that changed your life – Rosemary Bray’s Unafraid of the Dark. This woman overcame so many obstacles to become a better person.
There are some others but I can’t think of them.

2. Books that you’ve read more than once. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowlings, East of Eden by John Steinbeck, and Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison.
I am biased towards East of Eden (twins, duh!) and I had to read Song of Solomon in high school. After dissecting it for a few weeks I really began to love it.

3. One book that you’d want on a desert island. Is there such a thing as I’m Shipwrecked and need to Make it Feel Like home?

4. One book that made you laugh. Tough one, the few books in my mind are so heavy I cannot think of anything light and funny.

5. One book that made you cry. Shay Youngblood’s Soul Kiss. I was a new mom with conflicting emotions but sobbed when Mariah Kim Santos realized that her mother was never coming back for her. A wonderful read. If you haven’t read it, read it today!
Also, The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak and In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alveraz.

6. One book that you wish you had written. The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak. What that man does with words. Sigh!

7. One book you wish had never been written. Some self published tomes but this could be pure jealousy! I really can’t think of any. There are books that I’ve read that I’ve thought were crap but hey, I also think that The Simpsons is the height of hilarity.

8. One book that you are reading at the moment. On the prowl…I just finished David Lubar’s Hidden Talents and am hungry for the next good read.

9. One book that you’ve been meaning to read. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. I keep hearing how great this book is but can’t seem to find to get into it.

10. Books that you “slept” on. The Color Purple by Alice Walker and To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
