Agatha Christie and Jane Austin
2. A book you bought for the cover, and discovered it was better than you thought?
Mary Higgins Clark's "I've Got You Under My Skin".
3. A book that made you laugh and cry, and made you depressed?
None that I can remember as I basically read fiction and only those that relax me and are enjoyable.
4. A book that was a pleasant surprise?
Carolyn Hart's "Letter From Home" It was my favorite for many years. Her other books didn't affect me the same.
5. A book everyone loves that you don’t?
For me it's anything written by Stephen King and Ann Rice. I'm not a fan of either authors.
6. A book with a great sidekick that you like more than the hero?
I always liked Dr. Watson better than Sherlock Holmes 😊
7. A book that helped you through a difficult time?
The Bible. If it wasn't for The Lord's Word I couldn't handle any of life's tragedies and losses.
8. A book that taught you something valuable?
The Bible as His Word teaches me every time I open it.
9. A book or series that it took you awhile to get into?
Adriana Trigiani's 4 book series starting with "Big Stone Gap". They were New York Times best sellers and came as a gift from a cousin of mine. Once I got into the books I enjoyed reading them even though they were not my type of books.
10. A fictional character you’d love to have to dinner.?
Very easy. Hercule Poirot of course and I'd love to have tea with Miss Marple. 😉
I'm not a big fan of Rice or King either.
ReplyDeleteIf you like mysteries, I recommend Laura Childs and Kaitlyn Dunnett. I enjoyed your answers--my nose has been stuck in a books since Thursday, smiles.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, I'll check them out. Don't forget to wipe that black ink off the tip of your nose from the pages in the books. LOL!
DeleteI could have answered the Bible for all of these, I loved your answers! Have a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteTrigiani is one of my favorite authors.

WHAT!??? 😱
Used to love reading Stephen King, and tried to give "It" a re-read a year or so ago. I realized that he does go on and on...he needed a good editor, lol. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI can agree with what you said! I dont like Rice or King either.. sick stuff in my opinion.
