Dorothy W. just posted this wonderful meme and I couldn’t pass up on it. Check it out and I bet you’ll want to give it a go too.
Using only books you have read this year (2009), answer these questions. Try not to repeat a book title. It’s a lot harder than you think!
Describe yourself: The Last Queen (C.W. Gortner) heh.
How do you feel: When You Are Engulfed In Flames (David Sedaris). It’s hot here in Texas.
Describe where you currently live: Among the Mad (Jacqueline Winspear)
If you could go anywhere, where would you go? Villa Serena (Domenica De Rosa)
Your favorite form of transportation: Sleepwalking in Daylight (Elizabeth Flock)
Your best friend is: Somebody Else’s Daughter (Elizabeth Brundage)
You and your friends are: Independent People (Halldor Laxness)
What’s the weather like: In A Dry Season (Peter Robinson)
You fear: Sights Unseen (Kaye Gibbons)
What is the best advice you have to give: Hold Love Strong (Matthew Aaron Goodman)
Thought for the day: What It Is (Lynda Barry)
How I would like to die: Reading in Bed (Sue Gee)
My soul’s present condition: The Richest Season (Maryanne McFadden)
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
bruu hhhaahaha! I laughed at some of the answers 😀
Describe where you currently live: Among the Mad !! 🙂
That was wonderful… lemme see if i can do this with my 2009 read s:D
that meme looks like it would not be easy! Your answers are hilarious!
Great answers! I love the one about how you want to die — reading in bed would not be a bad way to go!
That’s a cute meme, but I couldn’t make it work! Boo! So I’m impressed with your answers. Nice one. 🙂
This would be too hard for me; I don’t read as much as you! I nominated you for a Zombie Chicken Award for Most Agreeable Blogs: http://www.danahuff.net/?p=1140.
Glad to know that your vacation has refreshed your mind and that the heat hasn’t made it sluggish.
Love your answers!
waou! that was good.
Veens – Aren’t they funny? I see some of the neighbors I have in my area of town and a bit crazy is a good way to describe them. I love it 🙂 I’ll be looking forward to your list!
Sandy – You should give it a try! I’d love to see what you’d come up with!
Dorothy W. – Being that I love mysteries I had some titles that would probably fit very well but they were kind of scary! haha.. I thought Reading in Bed was the most kind.
Scott – Oh you never know. You should give it a try! At first I thought it was going to be a bit hard but actually it was fun 🙂
Dana Huff – Aw, thank you for the award! I love zombie chicken 🙂
Isabel – Well, I don’t know if it really refreshed my mind but it was great to get away from some of the heat for a while! Do the meme. I want to see what you come up with! 🙂
roxane – it’s fun isn’t it?
Fun but very clever on your part and it shows how many books you have read in 8 months. Very impressive all around.
What a fun meme! My book count is very low this year, but I’ll see if I can come up with a fun list, too. Loved yours!!
Among the Mad?
What a fun little meme! I loved your answers and will have to think about doing this one myself 🙂
hahaha i enjoyed a lot while reading…really cool one!
i would love to try it but have to check my 2009 read list first 😀
What a fun meme! And I love your answers!! 😉
Roxane – It was fun to look through my list of books read and remember some of the books I’ve read earlier in the year!
Les in NE – Oh I’d love to see your list. Hope you’ll show us 🙂
Matt – Austin is quite an eclectic city 🙂
Samantha – I hope you do – I’d love to see your answers!
iselldreams – check it and tell us ok?!
Melody – It was fun to try it out. You should too 🙂
Those are great! I saw this somewhere else too but somehow the books I’ve read this year just don’t seem to fit very well.
How nice that you had a title like REading in Bed to fil in the how you would like to die question!
tanabata – It was fun to do. I thought for sure I wasn’t going to have any titles that fit but surprisingly they fit!
Stefanie – That was perfect right? Some of my mystery titles would have fit too but they were a bit too gruesome 🙂
It’s fun to read everyone’s answers! Did you like the Sue Gee book? I read one of her other novels and loved it–am wondering if her other books are as good!
I loved this meme; some of your answers made me laugh out loud. I found it really fun to do as well, thanks to Dorothy’s influence. 🙂
Danielle – I liked it ok. I’ve read another of her books which I liked a lot better but I’d still read more by her. It was entertaining but I just had a couple of quibbles with it. I’ll have to post a review of it soon!
Melanie – Ooh, I need to catch up on your blog and see your answers! 🙂 It was so fun to do wasn’t it?
