1. What is your favorite book (or series) from childhood? My favorite book was A Room for Cathy by Catherine Woolley. I just recently purchased a vintage paperback copy of it and it now sits on my nightstand.
2. What is your favorite book (or series) now? Definitely The Ladybug Farm series by Donna Ball. I can't wait for her to write the fourth book in the series so I can catch up with my old friends!
3. What is your opinion of e-readers? Although I can certainly understand the ease and convenience of them, I really don't think I will ever get one. I love the feel and smell of a book! I love to turn the pages! I love bookmarks! I love to see books stacked in my library basket or on my nightstand.
4. Finish this sentence: "On Sundays I like to ..." go to church, come home and do all of my laundry and clean my house and then work on school stuff.
5. Describe yourself in five words. Orderly, Scheduled, Homebody, Teacher, Strong
6. Hardcover or paperback? Why? Hardcover, but I don't really know why. I think I feel like I am getting "the real deal" with a hardback and a "secondhand" with a paperback, although I love secondhand things. I guess I am a book-snob.
7. Coffee or tea. Coffee is definitely my first love! Although in the winter I love my evening cup of hot green tea, too.
If you want to play along, you can write your post and link up at Thinking of Teaching. They are starting a book study of The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller.
I'm the same way I love feeling the pages in my hands and ebooks you can't do that :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so interesting that you described hardcovers as the real thing and paperbacks as secondhand! I have never heard that before. Looking forward to have you joint he read along.
