Today I
am officially a "Literary Junkie" because I am participating in a new
monthly link up with Taylor and Lesley.
So here's the deal, every month these ladies will be hosting a link up to discuss books and as long as i have been reading, i will be linking up! Taylor has been my pen pal for the last few months and she is just swell! I truly look forward to her letters and love that she is so down to earth! Lesley writes a blog that i am new to! And just from the get go, i cannot wait to read more! So here are the questions for this month:
1) What
book are you currently reading? Give us a little synopsis and your review.
I just
started "Gone Girl" and am really excited about this book! It seems
really intriguing so far. It is a mystery that is about a husband and a wife
where the wife disappears. Each chapter is from either the wife's perspective
or from the husband's perspective. So far, it is interesting and I am waiting
for it to get to where I cannot put down!
2) What are
your 3 favorite books of all time?
My first
favorite book of all time is from my favorite author, John Irving! I love his
book called "A Prayer for Owen Meany."It was a
book assigned to me by my senior English teacher! I loved the book! To this day
it is one of my faves!
The next
book that is in my top three would be "The Secret Life of Bees" by
Sue Monk Kidd. I really love literature that takes place in the time period of
the 60s. It love the way life seemed to be! This is a great story about a young
girl who leaves her abusive father to live with three amazing black women.Have
you seen the movie staring Dakota Fanning and Queen Latifa?
The last
book in my top three is "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. I love this
book and in my last 100 pages who reading it, I actually slowed down in my
reading to make sure it would last longer! I truly fell in love with Skeeter
and Abileen! I loved every part of this story and hated what each character
hated as well! It was such a good book! I highly recommend this one, for sure!
3) What is
your "approach" upon entering a bookstore? Where do you immediately
head after entering through the front door?
When I
enter a book store, I go straight for the new paperbacks! I also look for the
books that have been recommended by employees of the book store. I know Barnes
& Noble does this and I often enjoy reading the commentary on each book. I
can't say it has pushed me one way or the other when it comes to my choice, but
it is fun to read! I also like to check out the biography new releases and then
head to all the wonderful fiction! I also really like to look at the Abel's
where they display books being read by local high school students. It is neat
seeing some of my faves get added and also remain on these lists! I then
usually rund it my visit with a trip to the clearance and also to check out the
journals!
So, what
are you reading? What are your favorites? How do you attack a book store?
Don't forget to see what others are reading!
