Book Question Game (PLEASE READ MY QUESTIONS AT THE END!)
Rules: Thank the person who nominated you. Thanks, Julian. I don't think I've ever taken over a year to respond to a tag before. But ... here I am ;) Tag your post with #awesomebloggeraward. Answer the questions you were asked. Nominate at least 5 bloggers and inform them of their nominations. Give them 10 new questions to answer.
Questions A book you've had for a long time but still haven't read. I own a lot of books, so when I answer this, I'm just speaking some random title out of hundreds. Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens. For some reason, I wanted and wanted and wanted to read it forever. I finally found a gorgeous copy, bought it, and have yet to read it.
A book you read right after buying it. Most non-fictions of mine I read right after purchasing. Usually, something to do with history or politics.
A book you regret buying. I never regret, though sometimes I repent. Probably all my Janette Oke books that I threw away. Oh, and the Princess Diary books, which I burned.
A series that you wish you'd bought the entirety of while you were at the store but instead you just got the first one and now you have to wait to get the others. I wish all the time to buy books that I can't afford. But two series that I really wish to purchase are The Maise Dobb series and the How To Train You Dragon series.
A book you wish they'd make into a movie. Why would I wish that on any of the books I love!?
A book you'd love to step into and never return. I like my life, thank you very much.
A book you convinced your siblings to read and they thought they wouldn't like it but they actually did. Many books ;) But for my sister Jerushah, it was Coral Island by R. M. Ballantine.
Computer or notebook for writing down story ideas/notes? Definitely notebook.
If you could have extra time to write some fan fiction for fun, what story would you delve into?Well, many of you already know of my fantastic Susan of Narnia serial. But for one of my next serials, I plan to write a greater masterpiece visiting the lives of the Boxcar Children. Would you add new characters or just use the original ones?Both ;D And I want to say more, but shan't.
A book you can't wait to read.A biography of Tolstoy's wife and Stephanie Morrill's original series. Oh, and Old Curiosity Shop and Nicholas Nickleby and a new book I found by Elizabeth Goudge and ... should I stop, I suppose?
If there's one thing that COVID taught me, it's that rules ought to be broken often. JK, I knew that way before. But yes, I won't be tagging people. Commenters get to answer questions instead!
My questions: Should the government be allowed to outlaw certain books? Have you ever burned a book? Is there any book worth dying over, besides the Bible? What is the first classic you ever read? What is your favorite historical event that involves books (burnings or creations)? Are my questions too political? Do politics belong in books? What's the difference between a Dystopian and a newspaper? What's one book that you'd never have, even if it was mandated in every home? What book are you currently reading and what stereotype does it rebel against?
ACTUALLY, I'm begging all my readers to answer these questions ;D
