A to Z Book Survey

I saw this book survey over at Joyful Bookcase blog, and couldn't resist participating.

Author You've Read the Most Books From:

Hmmm...especially from when I was a kid. Lurlene McDaniel, L.M. Montgomery, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Jane Austen, JK Rowling, Alison Weir, Georgette Heyer, Philippa Gregory, Wanda Brunstetter, Jean Plaidy, SE Hinton,Beverly Lewis, just to name a few that I can immediately think of.

 Best Sequel Ever:

 

Too many to think list!

 

Currently Reading:

• A Talent for Trouble by Jen Turano 
•  War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

Drink of Choice While Reading:

 

I am not picky; tea, coffee with creamer, water, tea, etc.

 E-reader or Physical Book?

 

A real book even though I do have an E-reader. I can always take a regular book with me, and pass it on to family and friends. Most of my friends and family do not have an E-reader.

 

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

 

I have not a clue, hhmm...this took me a whole to think about, Charlie from The Perks of Being A Wallflower.

Glad You Gave This Book a Chance:

 

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

 

Hidden Gem Book:

 

Born of Persuasion by Jessica Dotta

 

Important Moment in your Reading Life:

 

As a kid pushing myself to learn more words, so that I could understand books I wanted to read (especially books that were more than 100 pages), that were beyond my reading level at the time. I spent a summer working on it, and it was well worth it; loved books even more, a little more confident in my reading skills, and especially in pronouncing words.

 

Finding like minded people who loved books as much as me.

War and Peace, trying to keep all of the characters straight!

 

Number of Bookcases You Own:
Two floor to ceiling bookcases, and then two half bookcases. I have books also on a window ledge.

 

One Book You Have Read Multiple Times:

 

Only one book? The Outsiders by SE Hinton. Throughout my life of reading this book, depending on what age I was, I would either relate more to Pony or his older brother Darry, then later on seeing both sides.

 

Preferred Place To Read:

 

Anywhere that is quiet and peaceful. Or that I can tune at noise to read.
