Tell us about your favorite book in a setting you’d like to visit. This one’s hard for me because most of the books I can think of are either set in a relatively nondescript US location or in a fantasy world.  But I recently re-read Heidi with my daughter.  It’s set in the Swiss Alps, and while I’ve been to the Alps once before (in Austria), I… Read more »

What book(s) and who was it? Did they like it? My husband doesn’t read books. At all. But I have convinced him to listen to some audiobooks. The first one I ever got him to listen to was The Hunger Games.  He listened to all three books and really loved them! He also really… Read more »

Tell us about one of your hobbies that is NOT reading. Okay, I have to confess that I have very few hobbies lately besides reading.  I used to do a lot of digital scrapbooking and I used to watch a lot of TV.  Now, I pretty much just read.  I do homeschool my kids, but that’s not a hobby, of course – although, I do really enjoy teaching… Read more »

Hmmm … I’ve definitely read some books I wasn’t crazy about, but there’s usually other people who really enjoyed those same books, so it’s hard to say that people shouldn’t read it.  In fact, the book that came to mind was an NA book that I really did not like at all, and yet,… Read more »

What was the best prank you’ve played or had played on you? Share! This is easy!!  My very favorite April Fool’s joke (I don’t know if you’d call it a prank, exactly) was right here on this blog a few days ago.  I’ve never really done anything for April Fool’s Day before, but this was SO much fun – the most fun I’ve ever had writing… Read more »

Did you get interested in a new genre? Do you read more? Less? Why do you think your habits changed, if they did. My reading habits have definitely changed in the past few years.  I was a voracious reader as a kid and all through high school, but then stopped reading for the most part in college… Read more »

If you don’t go outside…well where else do you read that isn’t inside your house? We want pics! Ha!  Well, spring is certainly not in the air around here.  This has been the coldest and snowiest winter we’ve had in a very long time!!  If I were to take pic outdoors right now, you’d see me freezing on my deck… Read more »

This question should really be, “What was the last book that didn’t make you cry?”  Because really, I’m a cry-baby.  I at least tear-up at 99% of the books I read. I mean, if it’s remotely sad, I cry.  Right now I’m reading That One Summer by C.J. Duggan – I’m about a third of the way through and I’ve already teared-up –… Read more »
