Alphabet Book Meme...
Aug. 12th, 2014 08:43 pmI like this meme, but not how it is played. So I'm just doing it, sans the interactive bit.
A. Author You’ve Read The Most Books From:
A toss-up. I don't tend to stick with one author for very long. I'll do a handful here, and a handful there. And I'll read books in a series, which don't quite count. (ie. The Lymond Chronicles by Dorothy Dunnett, or Lord of the Rings, or Chronicles of Narnia, or the Dresden Files.) Elizabeth Peters - Vicky Bliss mysteries (but that's all I read of her books). Read almost all of PD Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster novels. Also all the Harry Potters, but nothing else by JK Rowling. Will state I've read about five or six Stephen King, same with Sherry Thomas, and Eloisa James. A ton of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books. Quite a few Robert Parker, Robert Heinlein, Robert Ludlum. Several Ian Flemming. Oh maybe, Agatha Christie - I think I read almost every book she wrote when I was in high school...but not sure.
So, you know, no one in particular. I hate to commit and like variety. (ie. I'm polygamous in my reading habits.)
B. Best Sequel Ever
Hmm...The Lord of The Rings (which was the sequel to The Hobbit)? Trying to think...most of what I've read are series. Can't say I found Children of God by Maria Doria Russell - the sequel to The Sparrow that good. But it's the only true sequel that I've read that I can think of.
C. Currently Reading
Sherry Thomas' enjoyable YA historical adventure - "The Hidden Blade" - about a young girl in Peking China learning to become a ninja warrior/spy, while a young English boy, far away learns to become an English spy.
D. Drink of Choice While Reading
Water or Tea. Actually adore drinking tea.
E. E-Reader or Physical Books
E-Reader - better for my eyesight. I can make the print much bigger - I've become near-sighted or it far-sighted in middle age - it happens after you turn 45. I read physical books and in some cases they work better because you can flip backwards and forwards without losing track of where you are.
