Fictional Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated In High School:

Quote that inspires you/gives you all the feels from a book you’ve read:
I don’t tend to write down quotes, so I glanced through the list of quotes from authors I’ve read on Goodreads and saw this one.
“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Algebra to Go – I’m anticipating needing it to help Amber with homework this year
ZZZ-snatcher book (last book that kept you up WAY late):

I like the quote from Eat, Pray, Love and I dog-ear pages too 🙂
Wow, what a great list of questions.
Love this! I read Hotel du Lac last month and agree it’s a hidden gem… one that really snuck up on me.
The Count of Monte Cristo and The Moonstone are a couple of my favorites, too.
This meme looks fun 😀
I see you have the no copy thing on 🙁 I could not find the meme on the other blog
I don’ know if I can turn it off for certain posts or not. I’ll check.
LOL! Having to go through algebra again does not sound like fun 🙂 I’m a little nervous about The Beautiful Mystery. I just started writing my review of Still Life and fell in love with everything.
I do want to steal this!
