Ten of My Favorite Things.
• Favorite genres: Westerns, mysteries or romances. Read one, or one of all three:
Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness - ***** - 9/7/2015 - Romance Book
•Books with dogs in them. I also like wolves and would take any book with one in it or has a wolf shapeshifter.
•Hawt guy on the cover. **shrugs** What can I say?
•Coffee ice cream - so any book with a cup of coffee or ice cream on the cover- or is the color of the shade of coffee you drink or the color of your favorite ice cream. listopia: Espresso, Java, Coffee and YA Coffee Covers.
• My favorite color is blue. Read a book with a cover that is predominately blue. Check listopia!
• Beautifully styled hair. Read a book that shows a perfect coiffed hair style on the cover.
• Hats. Yup. Love them. Don't wear them often, but I love the look. Even if they cover up a beautiful hairstyle, LOL! Read a book with a hat on the cover.
• I ♥ cookies. Read a book that somehow relates to cookies. Cookie on the cover, in the title, or is the name of the protagonist. Or maybe they bake them?
• Read any book from my all-time-favorites bookshelf.
• Listen to any book on audio - My second favorite media delivery system, after the “dead tree version” - give yourself a pat on the back. Or better yet... as I believe in “free will”, pick a book of your choice. If audiobooks absolutely drive you up the wall, and you can't conceive giving it another chance after referring to my list of favorite narrators, then read it “old school” via paperback or hardback.

“Wild Card”: Since I'm the “Archduchess of Audio,” I have the power to grant you two “Wild Card”* options. Replace any two categories below with whatever you like, as long as you listen to it on audio.
CATEGORIES: Ten Things That Are On My Mind
• Latest Kick...Wrapped Up in Mysteries: I’ve been reading more mysteries lately. Choose a book from this genre. Or, if you read the dead tree version, wrap up several books in the same paper (making them all look exactly alike), shuffle them, and then a week later pick one to read:
House Rules by Jodi Picoult - **** - 9/1/2015 - 532 Pages
• Blue: My favorite color is blue. Read a book with a cover that is predominately blue.
Check out listopia !
• “V” is for...: I’ve gone vegan! It has been a whole year now. Wow. It might be
hard to find a book with a character who has chosen a plant-based lifestyle,
so read a book with a “V” in the title, or by an author with a first or last name that
starts with “V.”
• This Kitchen is Green Powered: Since green is the official color of vegans,
and I love to cook, read a book with a cover that is predominately green. Or where
the main character is a chef.
• Love That Dress!: I started a shelf entitled love-that-dress. Not much on it, yet,
so help me add to it by reading a book that shows a beautiful dress.
• Animals: I’m an animal lover. Read a book with one on the cover.
(It does NOT have to be a book about that animal.)
• Beach, Mountains, Desert: I really need to sell my house and move to something
smaller. But where to retire? The beach, the mountains, the desert? Help me by picking
a book depicting any one of these locals.
• Do You Know Jack?: My favorite hero is Jack Travis in Smooth Talking Stranger,
by Lisa Kleypas. Read a book with a character named Jack in it. Or one written by a Jack.
• Challenge Book: I love challenges on GRs, making them and participating in them. Read a book that is the first one for a new challenge, or helps you finish off one:
Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness - ***** - 9/7/2015 - Helped me finish Summer Christmas Reindeer Challenge
• One More Time: I love to reread my favorite books, often by audio. Revisit one of
your favorites. Or try a book via this media delivery system.
