#BookADay--Days 1-15

I don't have Twitter, so I can't tweet my responses to this cool campaign, but I thought this was fun! 

1st Favourite book from childhood -- This is a tough one...It depends on how old I was...Could be Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne, Morgan and Me by Stephen Cosgrove, or Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery.

2nd Best bargain -- I picked up Faeries by Brian Fround and Alan Lee from the bargain bin, such a lovely book

3rd One with a blue cover -- The Foxes of Harrow by Frank Yerby, or Even Cowgirls Get the Blues by Tom Robbins

4th Least favourite book by favorite author -- Hmmm....maybe Furies of Calderon by Jim Butcher

5th Doesn’t belong to me -- All the books at the library!

6th The one I always give as a gift -- I don't give the same book. If I give a book, it's always different.

7th Forgot I owned it --- I don't usually forget I own a book. More that I forget I don't have a copy of something. I probably forget which painting books I have more than fiction.

8th Have more than one copy -- I've bought multiple copies of Siddhartha because I kept losing or giving away my copy.

9th Film or tv tie-in -- Gone with the Wind!

10th Reminds me of someone I love -- Winnie-the-Pooh...actually doesn't remind me of anyone in particular, just that I feel loved reading it.

11th Secondhand bookshop gem -- The Foxes of Harrow by Frank Yerby...I love this book. I don't know where or how my parents had a copy, but we all used to reread it often. I finally got a used copy for Christmas a few years ago.

12th I pretend to have read it -- Great Expectations. It was assigned for 9th grade and I don't think I ever finished it.

13th Makes me laugh -- The Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. Sometimes I cry from laughing so hard.

14th An old favorite -- So many of these. I've mentioned a few already....Winnie-the-Pooh, Gone with the Wind, The Foxes of Harrow, Little Women, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

15th Favourite fictional father -- This is a tough one. The father in the Barrytown Trilogy by Roddy Doyle is pretty funny. Maybe Matthew Cuthbert from Anne of Green Gables.
