THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION:Do you have a favorite book from childhood? What is it?

The Black Stallion and the whole series is my favorite book from childhood along with all of the Mark Twain books. These were books that really got me interested in reading. It was these books that made me feel a passion for all books.

THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: What book would you currently recommend to someone? Why?

Right now if I was going to recommend a book to someone it would be Storm Front by Jim Butcher. It is the first in the Dresden series. Why would I recommend it? Because I really enjoyed the book and the whole series. Due to stress and life and being so busy I am once again behind on my reading challenge. I hope to make up the behind part but that is beside the point. Storm Front because it got me on a kick of books that I loved. I enjoyed them so much and could not get enough. I may go back and listen to all of them again because that got me so inspired and excited. Right now everytime I look at the book I started 2 months ago I just kind of go, meh. That is not the books fault either. I love the book but I am just feeling meh about reading currently. So..Storm Front for being good and exciting and making me happy about books.

Then fingers crossed that I can catch up on my books for my challenge because I am way behind.

THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: Where is the strangest place you’ve ever read a book? OR… Where is the strangest place you’ve ever found a crazy-good book, unexpectedly?

It did not seem weird to me at the time but it has since been pointed out to me that reading a book on horse back might be weird. lol I have read a book while riding a horse.

THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION:What types of “special” books do you own? For example, do you have any really old books? Any collections based on your interests (eg. architecture, etc)?

I have some special edition bound Mark Twain books. I also of course have books on special interests, horses, horse back riding and training and crochet. I could use more crochet books but I have not been very confident in my skills at reading patterns until more recently.

THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION:Do you have a “kindred” reading buddy — someone who very closely shares your taste in books? If not, do you wish you did?

I have a few kindred reading buddies and I love that I do because when I find a new book or series I know they will enjoy I jump around happily to share it. For me one of the great joys of reading is to share it.

THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: What would you do if you wanted to buy a book for someone, but didn’t know what they like to read? Would you ask them? Would you choose something you, yourself, like? How would you go about buying them something?

I would ask them or I would get them a gift card. It is the best way to do it, no sense in beating around the bush when it comes to book purposes!

THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: Do you prefer Hardcover, Trade Paperback, or Mass Market Paperback? Why?

Oh this is a tough one though I have to say overall I prefer Trade paperbacks. They are bigger like Hardcover but not as heavy. There are days where I am exhausted but can’t sleep it can be to tough to hold up a whole hardcover, so trades thumbs up!

The fourth novel in Kate Emerson’s well-reviewed series set in Tudor Englandbased on a real life member of the royal court of Henry VIII.
Following the acclaimed By Royal Decree, Pleasure Palace, and Between Two Queens, Kate Emerson again plucks a real figure from history in this lushly detailed tale featuring Lady Anne Stafford;who is torn between her husband and another man.
History remembers Lady Anne Stafford as the woman who cheated on her husband with both King Henry VIII and his companion, Sir William Compton. Lady Anne was indeed in love with two men at the same time, but the king wasn’t one of them. Lady Anne’s complex and heart-wrenching romantic relationships are at the core of this riveting tale that masterfully blends romance, drama, and historical detail as only Kate Emerson can

THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION:Who, in your life, are you best able to share your love of reading with?

Luckily for me I have many relatives who like to read and my friends as well. My Mom likes to read and I talk to her from time to time from books though we don’t always have the same interest in genre’s. My cousin’s..and my best friends love to read as well. Who could walk away from a book? I mean really?! I even have found a new hope to be friend through my Knit Night who enjoys reading and like me loves Dresden! Epic.

THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION:What was your favorite book as a child?

The Black Stallion and then the entire series of black stallion books. Also Trinity by Leon Uris which in hindsight I probably shouldn’t have read so young, lol but I did and I loved it and I still do even if it was gory.
