1.Which book would you transport yourself into if you could? Why? Out of Africa I would love to experience the Africa of 100 years back.

2.Who is your book hubby/wife? (You can only have one!) Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird

3.If you had to pick one author to claim as your favorite, who would it be? This is difficult because there are many I like to read. Can't pick my favorite book because it's a one-hit-wonder, and I maintain you cannot have a "favorite author" unless you've read several of his/her works. Okay ... Stephen King ... he write a wide variety of books and I've yet to be disapointed in any of the books I've read.

4.What books do you re-read frequently? Why? To Kill a Mockingbird is my favorite book and I've read it about 20 times; I always find something new in it that I'd not noticed before. I also re-read Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory each year.

5.What makes a book a 5-star read for you? It has to be a book I would read again. It has to have some deeper meaning that makes me think about issues. It has to transport me into the characters, the setting, the time. It has to make me want to grab total strangers on the street and tell me, "You have to read this book!"

1. Which book would you transport yourself into if you could? Why?
I’m having such a hard time with this one. I can’t think of just one! I guess if I HAVE to pick I’ll go with the Kate Daniels world. My book hubby lives there. lol


2. Who is your book hubby/wife? (You can only have one!)
Curran Lennart. We’ve been happily married for a few years now. ♥♥♥


3. If you had to pick one author to claim as your favorite, who would it be?
I’ll have to say Dean Koontz. I started reading him in the third grade and I still love him as much today as I did way back then.


4. What books do you re-read frequently? Why?
The Scarlet Pimpernel usually gets dusted off a few times a year. There are a lot of contemporaries that are my favorites that I re-read whenever the book ADD acts up. Sometimes my brain will get hung up on one specific book and I’ll have to find it and read it just out of the blue. I especially love when I cannot recall the name of the book and it starts a massive bookshelf, Nook, Google hunt. ☺


5. What makes a book a 5-star read for you?
It has to make me feel it. I need to be IN the book. I need that place in my head where the words on the page fall away and all I see is the story unfold. I have to feel like I need to share it. I need to be changed in some way for better or worse.
