Tagged!

Okay you people are insane. I don’t like getting tagged to do these things. LOL Dineen kindly asked me if I wanted to be tagged, I in turn kindly said no. LOL Robin up and decides to tag me just to get me to post (Whatever). I not so kindly told her no… she expects me to be rude. LOL (But she knows I love her.) And then it just up and got insane around here. Camy tagged me… hello her and I have had discussions on this! (Traitor! LOL Love you anyways.) (oh and technically Camy tagged me for a different Meme… but I’m not sure I’m doing that one yet. LOL) Then Mary tagged me. (I’ll excuse her because I’m reading her wonderful book right now. LOL Stay tuned for an interview with her coming up soon.) Margaret Daley was next to tag me. (She’s one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met so how could I be mad at her?) The last straw was Paula tagged me tonight. (I can’t tell the woman no.) So here goes.

List 15 facts and personal preferences about books:

1)       I love everything about books. The feel, smell, look. Words fascinate me.

2)       I could stay in a bookstore for days… would love to be locked up in one for about a week… no employees working there though… well except for the hot guy behind the counter at the starbucks… that lives to serve me of course.

3)       In the first grade I read 104 books… got me a nice little certificate for that. I was reading at a higher grade level then the rest of the class. The teacher didn’t believe some of the books that I said I had read so she made me bring one to school the next day and read it in front of the class. I choked. Hello. Me in front of people talking? Does anyone know why that is a bad idea??

4)       Favorite books as a kid were The Bobbsey Twins… even with all the inconsistancies in those books. Later it was Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys… which is fitting since the same guy, Edward Stratemeyer, created all three.

5)       I have probably close to 3000 books. All but maybe 200 are in storage. Some day I’m going to have a library like in… what was the movie, My Fair Lady?

6)       Of those 3000 books… I probably have 500 that are unread. Can you say big TBR pile? LOL

7)       And of those 3000 books there are very few books that I will read over again. (why do I keep them if I won’t read them? Well because I LOVE BOOKS!) I just can’t seem to read them more than once. I read the first page and I remember the whole plot of the book. The only books that I can read more than once… Dee Henderson’s books. O’Malley series. And anything by Lisa Samson. I’ve read 6 of her books since May. Read one in May… loved it, found another in my TBR pile. LOVED it. Went and bought another.  Loved it. In October I bought three more. I’ve read a couple of them more than once already. (Can I be Lisa when I grow up?)

 8 )  Some of the best stuff I’m reading right now hasn’t been published yet… and it SO should be. (hmm not quite about books…. But they are SOON to be books!)

9)       Dude I’m only on 9?? Y’all know I’m not intelligent enough for this right? I don’t have deep thoughts. Sheesh. Okay. 9. I would name my favorite authors off but I would forget someone and some of them read this blog… so we aren’t offending those cool people… does this count as a fact? Well it’s my blog and by golly I say it does!

10)   I have 86 of Grace Livingston Hill’s books. I forget the exact number but she wrote more than 100 books. Living books put them out in the 90’s, Bantam put them out in uh I think it was the 60s and 70s. There was some hardback reprints from Revell. And then there were the hard back books that first came out from her. I have some of all of them. It’s my goal to have a complete set from all of them. I would looooove a complete set of first prints.

11)   Man I’m not done yet? (Camy don’t think I’m getting to that 7 one. LOL) I prefer to not read historicals. (Which I know will make Robin happy.) But there are a few really good ones I’ve read. But I prefer contemporary. Not a big fan of fantasy scifi. Unless it’s done really well. (Like the series on fox a few years ago. Firefly. THAT I LOVED!) I LOVE Ronie’s book too!! LOL Other wise I love every genre I think.

12)   I’ve never read a classic. LOL I know people are gasping all over the blogosphere. Get over it people. We all knew I wasn’t intelligent. LOL

13)   Woohoo three to go!! Oh crap I still have three to do. I love to read while eating. I love to read while doing most things. I have a book stand set up right by my monitor so that I can read while working. LOL Pathetic, huh? Currently though I have the book closed in the book stand because it’s so dang good and I want to be able to get this written. (Marilynn Griffith’s book… Made of Honor.) I even take my book to restaurants if I can get away with it. Did last night. LOL

14)   Uh… who made this thing up anyways?? Why 15?? What made that the magic number? 14? Nah, can’t have that, that isn’t enough facts about people and their books! 16? No way! Are you insane?? That’s too many facts to have to read! Okay a real fact. I have HUGE issues with reading nonfiction. Except the bible… that I love. I just can’t seem to be able to do it. And frankly it ticks me off. I have several books that I want to read that I just can’t force myself to read. “Revolution with in” for instance. I’m going to read it soon. “Blue Like Jazz” as well. Oh and what’s the one from Anne Lamott, “Traveling Mercies”

15)   One more to go. Uh, well. hmmm. I can’t remember the last secular book I’ve read. Oh wait. That’s a lie. LOL It was one of my client’s books. When you’re in the acknowledgements it’s kinda rude not to read the thing! LOL So beyond her books… I can’t remember the last one I read. Wow.

YAY! I’m finished! And I’m going to tag Rhonda… LOL Let’s see if she reads my blog. I think everyone else has been tagged. If not… comment below and I’ll edit this to include your name. LOL

Blessings Y’all!!

16 spoken.
