Book meme stolen from Jennifer<\/a>…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. One book that made you laugh: <\/strong>I can’t think of any off hand. Meg Cabot can be pretty funny.<\/li>\n
  2. One book that made you cry:<\/strong> Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. WHAT. Do not tell me that you did not shed a tear for Fred, for Lupin, for Tonks.<\/li>\n
  3. One book that you loved as a child:<\/strong> I loved a lot of books as a kid, most notably the Sue Barton Student Nurse books (Helen Boylston), anything by Edward Eager, and the Betsy-Tacy books (Maud Hart Lovelace). When I saw the entire set of Betsy-Tacy books at Barnes & Noble in a nice reprint, I bought them ALL. Love ’em.<\/li>\n
  4. One book you\u2019ve read more than once:<\/strong> I read a lot of books more than once, but the book I’ve read the most is Jurassic Park.<\/li>\n
  5. One book you loved, but were embarrassed to admit it: <\/strong>I read a lot of crap, I am not embarrassed to admit it. I will never admit to having read most of the Jackie Collins oeuvre though. Oh wait.<\/li>\n
  6. One book you hated:<\/strong> Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath can suck it.<\/li>\n
  7. One book that scared you:<\/strong> I was quite freaked out by the R.L. Stine books when I was a kid.<\/li>\n
  8. One book that bored you:<\/strong> Most of Shakespeare, The Color Purple, Red Badge of Courage, um, most of the books I was supposed to read in high school.<\/li>\n
  9. One book that made you happy:<\/strong> The final book in the YA series from Meg Cabot, The Mediator. I forget what it was called, but it pretty much embodied the perfect ending to a series: nicely wrapped up with a happy ending. Sweet.<\/li>\n
  10. One book that made you miserable:<\/strong> I don’t read miserable books. I can think of a few that pissed me off to the extent that I stopped reading the author’s books.<\/li>\n
  11. One book that you weren\u2019t brave enough to read:<\/strong> Most of the horror genre. Despite my love of zombies and gore, I just don’t do horror.<\/li>\n
  12. One book character you\u2019ve fallen in love with:<\/strong> I kind of love Stu Redman from Stephen King’s The Stand, even though I never finished it. (still 200 pages to go)<\/li>\n
  13. The last book you read: <\/strong>After the Kiss by Suzanne Enoch. It was okay.<\/li>\n
  14. The next book you hope to read: <\/strong>The new Artemis Fowl.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now I think I’m going to look for my copy of The Stand and maybe finish it.<\/p>\n
