Favorite Book Five Years Ago

Bride2

Pride and Prejudice has been my favorite book since I first read it 12 years ago (that makes me feel old!) but besides P&P my favorite was probably The Princess Bride.

Favorite Duology/Trilogy/Series

This needs no explanation.  Harry Potter is amazing.

Last book You Read

PPM

Blech, I did not like this retelling.  You can see my review here.

Last Book of Poetry I’ve Read

Sidewalk

I don’t read poetry so, if I had to guess, it was one of Shel Silversein’s books that my mom read to me as a kid?

What Book most influenced your life

3

I can’t think of any books that really influenced my life, but Harry Potter is the first time I remember being obsessed with anything bookish related (tho I know I loved reading before that)

Book That Made You Ugly Cry

Deep

I ugly cry all the time while reading, but most recently it was probably while reading Sky in the Deep.

Book That Made You Laugh

A Darker Shade final for Irene

In general I know this isn’t a funny book but Lila’s sense of humor was pure gold and I actually laughed out loud a couple of times.

Character You’d Like to Be For A Day

Hermione Granger is awesome and strong and smart and everything I wish I was!

Books So Good You Dreamt About It

I don’t ever remember my dreams so I can’t say.

Book You DNFed

Maze

I just couldn’t get into the Maze runner.

  2. I love The Princess Bride! I saw their costumes at the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle and had a nice flip-out. And I love Pride and Prejudice! Though for some reason, I gravitate more towards retellings of Beauty and the Beast than anything else. Perhaps I should switch to P&P retellings for awhile. Can never really get too much of Darcy.

    1. That is soooo cool! I am super jealous 🙂 I got to see all the Star Wars costumes when the exhibit came to CO a few years ago and it was a lot of fun!! I go in phases where I pick different retellings and stories. Most often its P&P or Robin Hood ❤ I should give the Beauty and the Beast ones a try! Do you have a favorite?

      1. I like the Robin McKinley ones! She has several. Beauty is great, and probably the one most aligned with the one we all know. It was my favorite as a kid. But I LOVED Sunshine. Just a warning though, it does drag in certain areas, and it veers way off from the original, but I love its unique take. Essentially, Beast is a vampire and Belle is a witch, and it’s set in more of a contemporary period. The ending is rather open as well; things aren’t wrapped up in a bow. It’s not for everyone, but it’s my favorite.

    2. I actually also never read Pride and Prejudice. Now I know I must, if Brittany is so in love with she devoted her blog’s name to it! I think I was always afraid that it would be too slow and that I would have to DNF something that is a proclaimed classic. But actually maybe now I’ve “grown up” enough to read and enjoy it. 🙂
