Book Tag

So, Margaret Feinberg tagged me and I will oblige. This is a fun one. (Confession: I altered it a little.)

One book that you have read more than once:

Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neal Hurston

One book that you would want on a desert island (besides the Bible):

That’s a hard question. I guess something long, because I’ll be there for a while…Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

One book that made me laugh:

The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

If you’ve seen the movies or plays, the book is hilarious:

Don’t understand the question…Is the book laughably bad after seeing the play/movie or better because of it or is the play/movie a bad adaptation of the book? (Yes, I’m an editor. I need more info.)

One book that made me sad:

Bee Season by Myla Goldberg

One book that I wish I had written:

Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life by Amy Krouse Rosenthal

One book I wish had never been written:

All evil and creepy Stephen King-like books (Where do people come up with that stuff?!)

Fact or fiction?

Both—though I lean towards fiction these days

One book I’m currently reading:

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

Awesome book that is empowering me:

I prefer to read books that allow me to feel good about doing nothing.

One book I’ve been meaning to read:

About a million! It’s daunting to think about all I want to read, but don’t have time for…Desiring God by John Piper is one.
