The book you’re reading right now
I always have several books started.
I am working on Vinegar Girl, Becoming, Shrill, Corset Diaries, and several others.
I enjoyed the thirty day challenge and hope to find similar challenges in the future.

Thirty day book challenge, day 29
Book cover you love
Judging a book by its cover isn’t a bad thing in this case, I suppose.
The swing of things had a cover that kept catching my attention. Then I found that it was on Kindle Unlimited and knew I had to read it.
The Bette Davis Club had a cover that was cartoonish, but it caught my eye. I enjoyed it, too.

Classic novel you haven’t read but plan to
Rebecca keeps coming up as a recommended book
Frankenstein is at the bottom of the book stack, so I don’t think I’ll get to it soon, but I want to read it.
Thirty day book challenge, day 27
Book you read every year
I don’t tend to re-read books unless something comes up and I want to check on something that happened in the book. Or if a bookclub book is one I’ve read long ago, I like to refresh my memory before talking about it.
There are too many new books to read. I try to read as many as I can.

Biography you think everyone should read
Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks was a fascinating nonfiction story about a black woman and the way the health care system treated her and her family. It was eye-opening.

Book villain you actually love
Karou and Akiva are the chimera and angel in Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Depending on which side you take, either one could be the villain. They both made me fall in love with them.

A book collaboration by 2 or more authors
Bob was written by Wendy Mass and Rebecca Stead. It was a cute children’s book that kept popping up in my face at several bookstores before I ended up purchasing it. It was one of my first Book crossing releases. It, sadly, was not found yet.

A book quote you know by heart
I had a hard time with this one, because it seems that I’ve never read a lot of the books where I know the memorable lines. I discussed it trying to get ideas about which ones to include.
“When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house” The Outsiders. A book I have read multiple times. The movie almost does it justice.
“Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him” Hamlet. Read it multiple times.
“Call me Ishmael.” Moby Dick. Never read it.
Thirty day book challenge, day 22
an LGBTQ and love story
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo told the story of Evelyn Hugo and a reporter who was trying to find out which of Evelyn’s husbands was the love of her life. It doesn’t sound like a LGBTQ story, but it is and I can’t tell how without giving away the whole story.

An anthology you love
I don’t tend to read anthologies. Looking back at those that I’ve read over the years, two books stick out in my mind, and they are both Stephen King books.
Different seasons is the book that Stand By Me was based on. I read all the stories in the book multiple times.
Skeleton crew has The Mist and The Jaunt. Two stories that have stuck in my mind and I think about often. It’s been close to thirty years since I’ve read them, but they are both thought provoking enough that I still think about them after all this time.
