Last week, Sabrina from Tired Mom Reading tagged me to answer some fun bookish questions. So here I am not procrastinating at all and answering them within a week of reading her post. Yay me!
Six Questions from Sabrina
1. What is your favorite book-to-movie adaption? Least favorite?
Oh boy. Thanks for starting with such an easy question, Sabrina. All the movies just popped into my head. Okay, for favorites I think I'll go with The Help or A Walk to Remember. (We weren't supposed to pick just one, were we??)
For least favorites, the first trainwreck that popped into my mind is Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story, but I can't even count that because adaptation of WHAT? Not any Anne book I've ever read. Ugh. So officially I'll go with The Hobbit trilogy. I thought the first movie was pretty good, but the second one was so abysmal I didn't even bother watching the third one.
2. You're hosting a dinner for your three favorite heroes/heroines. Who will be there, what will you talk about, and does everyone leave alive?
Christy (Miller) Spencer, Katie (Weldon) Lorenzo, and Sierra (Jensen) Bryce obviously. We will talk about literally everything under the sun, and we will particularly encourage each other in our roles as wives. Of course we will all leave alive with our next Girls Night Out already on the calendar.
*These are all characters written by Robin Jones Gunn for anyone this reference is lost on.*
3. What is a book you would recommend to everyone and why?
The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom because not only is it full of beautiful truth, suspense, and adventure, it's all true and the events in the book happened during such an important time in world history that we ought never forget about. And BONUS along the same lines, I'd also recommend Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand to anyone. Both are excellent.
4. Who are your fictional book crushes?
Gilbert Blythe, Todd Spencer, and Mr. Knightley are probably my top three. Need I elaborate? I think not.
5. What book series do you wish there was more of? How about less of?
This is another tough one. I wish the Anne of Green Gables books could just keep going forever and ever, generation after generation. I'd also love some more Little Women in my life.
The "less of" is a little harder. Do we have to have read the books to know we want less? I can honestly say I wish the Twilight and 50 Shades books never existed, but I haven't actually read them.
6. Where is your favorite place to get books?
I love to find little hole-in-the-wall used bookstores. My all-time favorite was Booktraders in downtown Winter Haven, but sadly, it closed. My current local favorite is The Book Shelter in Lake Wales. I hope they stick around.
Thanks so much for tagging me, Sabrina! I'll tag Lyndsey @ The Bolden Journey, Caroline @ Big World :: Small Girl, Christina @ Remember to be Tandy, Alison @ The Juggling Act, and Jen @ "Just a Mom's" View. My six questions for y'all are:
1. Do you re-read books? What was the last book you re-read?
2. What book are you most proud of finishing?
3. What are some of your hobbies aside from reading?
4. What is your favorite read (so far) of 2018? Least favorite?
5. Bookmarks or dog-ears?
6. Who are your read-everything-they-ever-wrote favorite authors?
Full disclosure: I totally cherrypicked these questions from other Entertainer Book Tag posts I ended up reading when I fell down the blog hole after Sabrina tagged me.
If I didn't tag you, but you decide to do this on your blog, please come back and leave the link to your post so I can read your answers, and if you don't have a blog, feel free to answer any or all of these questions down in the comments and we can talk all things bookish!
