Lesa came up with a fun idea for a Reading Questionnaire. Feel free to play along. Here's my answers.
On your nightstand now: Confessions of Jane Austen Addict, I Just Want my Kids To Be Happy!, Discovering SomePlaceElse
Book you've "faked" reading: hmmmm...I don't think I ever have 'fake read' something. If it's a bad read, I have to put it down. I can't just skim through it either.
Book you've bought for the cover: I'm a sucker for a good cover. The last one I bought was Kathleen E. Woodiwiss' Everlasting. See said cover here
Favorite book when you were a child: I had so many. When I was very little 'The Velveteen Rabbit' was a favorite. 'Casey At Bat' too, it was about baseball. Then as I got older, 'Karen Kepplewhite is the Worlds Best Kisser' and 'Trouble With Thirteen'. I was about 11 when I used to read those and I still have them! I also loved the 'Highlights' magazine.
Book that changed your life: A New Earth : Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle
Favorite line from a book: 'If you will thank me,'' he replied, ``let it be for yourself alone. That the wish of giving happiness to you might add force to the other inducements which led me on, I shall not attempt to deny. But your family owe me nothing. Much as I respect them, I believe I thought only of you.'-Mr. Darcy, Pride & Prejudice
