Okay, Cora Zane tagged me so I gotta do it:
1) One book that changed your life: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Read it in high school, such a powerful book. One of the few assigned books I actually read from cover to cover.
2) One book that you’d read more than once: The Stand by Stephen King. What a book! It’s huge but it’s worth the read. Makes me cry at the end every time. I need to go read it again - it’s been a long time.
3) One book you’d want on a deserted island: A blank journal with endless pages (I stole that answer from Cora - I agree).
4) One book that made you laugh: Exes and Ohs by Beth Kendrick. I bought her book My Favorite Mistake last year at the book signing at Nationals on a whim. Both of them are funny but Exes and Ohs is hilarious. Laugh out loud funny.
5) One book that made you cry: Way too many to even mention.
6) One book you wish you’d written: Gosh that’s a hard one cos there are so many good ones out there! I loved Nora’s three witches trilogy, the first one (Dance Upon the Air) was so good, I felt like I was on the island, in the bookstore with her characters. Sigh…to write as descriptive as she does…
7) One book you wish had never been written: Okay, I’m mean. But I can’t stand Danielle Steel books (like she’s gonna read my blog, but I feel bad for bashing her). I think they all suck. And yet she keeps selling them. She’s even got a perfume out now!!! And like all of her books are made into TV movies! I don’t get it.
8) One book you’re currently reading: I’m rereading Julie Cohen’s Delicious cos I’m waiting for her next book Married in a Rush which is tied in to Delicious. Julie is AWESOME.
10) Tag five people: Hmmmm, sorry. I tag Sarah, Julie S, Emma Sinclair, April, Stacy and Cole. I know that’s six but I went ahead and tagged all the Word Flirts!!
Check out THIS pic!
Jill says:
LOL, love that pic!
Julie S says:
You tagged me!
Yeah, WTF is with Danielle Steele’s perfume? I saw that in a magazine and I couldn’t believe it!
Uh, nice pic :-)

What a nice pic! And, I agree I can’t get into Danielle Steele’s books…well, I can’t get into Stephen King’s either! He’s too wordy for me, takes two chapters tow describe a damned tree!! But, his books are wonderful movies/mini-series!
With Love,
Tara M.

I too LOVE Nora’s trilogy and Julie’s Delicious. I confess that I *used* to read Danielle Steel back in my late teens/early 20s, but I seem to recall I found her books depressing and haven’t read her since.
Cool pic btw - Halloween could begin to grow on me… ;-)

You know, I have never read a Danielle Steele novel? I’ve seen her tv movies, but never watched one all the way through. They tend to remind me of 80s tv, like Hart to Hart and Remington Steele. Not sure why…
Kelley says:
Funny pic. I did this tag before. Its pretty fun.
Sarah L. Castleberry says:
My only question? Who actually painted that on his a$$ for him?? hmmm…
My sister has been watching the Danielle Steele movies on TV lately and keeps telling me I need to write like her. Again…hmmm…
Thanks for the tag! I like those questions!
