Question #10

Do you have a favorite author? Who? Why? Tell about your favorite books as a child & as an adult.

I love to read. I read all sorts of books. Every genre. Every style. I also love to read trashy magazines (Does that even count??). Biographies are very interesting to me. I think it is so interesting reading about people's lives. Some are really inspiring & uplifting. I don't think I have a specific favorite author though. There are too many good writers to pick just one. My favorite book to read is:

I read To Kill A Mockingbird for the first time when I was in ninth grade. I have read it multiple times since. I love the characters. Scout, Jem, Dill, Atticus, & Boo are such interesting characters. I think it teaches love, respect, empathy, & so many others things. *Fun fact: This was Harper Lee's (the author) first & only novel.
I also loved the Harry Potter series. J.K. Rowling's is such an imaginative author. Those books were so entertaining. The detail was so cool. I really hope she comes out with some new books.

Who doesn't love Twilight, right?? I was sucked in from the first sentence. Go Team Jacob!! Even though I'm a Jacob fan, I still think Bella & Edward belong together. I thought these books just flowed really well. Easy read.

Who remembers these??

I love love loved these books. I read every single one. I can still name all the babysitters (& Mary Ann's boyfriend!).

And what about these:

This cover makes me laugh. I totally remember reading these & thinking they were so pretty. How funny!!

If you have a favorite book, let me know. I am always looking for my next read!
