Fun book meme:

2. What are some books you read as a child? Nancy Drew; The Bobbsey Twins; Little House on the Prairie; Little Women; Are You There, God, It's Me, Margaret; A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
3. What is your favorite genre? Anything except fantasy or science fiction.
4. Do you have a favorite novel? Redeeming Love, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and The Secret Life of Bees are high on my list of favorites, but I don't think I have a "favorite of all time."

7. Do you usually have more than one book you are reading at a time? Only occasionally.
8. Do you read non-fiction in a different way or place than you read fiction? Yes; more purposefully, with a highlighter and pen handy for making notes; not in bed at night, usually earlier in the day so that I can reflect/meditate on it.
9. Do you buy most of the books you read, or borrow them, or check them out of the library? Borrow or check them out from my library; if it is a favorite author, I will buy the paperback (e.g., I own all the Big Stone Gap books and all of Francine Rivers' books).
