I got tagged by Sandi (who got tagged by her friend Heather, who got tagged…yeah, it’s like a blog chain letter, but it’s about books, so I can live with it) to answer the following questions about books. Here goes:
1. One book that changed your life: Anne of Green Gables
2. One book that you’ve read more than once: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (and all its sequels)
3. One book you’d want on a desert island: Gilligan’s Cookbook & the Skipper’s Too (or to pass the time, probably the entire Outlander series bound together–there is enough sheer volume, character, and plot to keep me entertained for weeks)
4. One book that made you laugh: The Ties That Bind (and Gag) – Erma Bombeck
5. One book that made you cry: A Severe Mercy (by far the one that has caused the most sobbing…I was embarrassed to be seen reading it)
6. One book that you wish had been written: Your Kids: Guaranteed Godly
7. One book that you wish had never been written: Prayer of Jabez
8. One book you’re currently reading: can you believe I’m between books? (Just finished When Life and Belief Collide)
9. One book you’ve been meaning to read: Blue Like Jazz
10. Now tag five people: uhh…let’s make it four: Erin, Shawn, Dorie, Courtney
I should add Blue Like Jazz to my “need to read” list. It’s been sitting on my bookshelf for over a year now! way to go me, huh? 🙂
BLJ is an excellent read. I should have put it on my list as read more than once and lifechanging.
I also had Anne of Green Gables as my lifechanging book!
Thanks for inviting me to play. You coaxed my brain out of “beach bum” mode. http://likepaperlanterns.blogspot.com/
I have read Anne of Green Gables and it is a favorite. I have seen two people mention it as a life-changing book and I am curious about how so?
