What a fun tag! How long did it take you to find a book to match each prompt? And a 900 page book?! Whoa! 🙂
Hi Jenn,
I am rather lazy, so I did a lot of Googling to check if the book I had in mind fit the prompt. I know what books I have, but I haven’t read them all. So, Google helps. It didn’t take long.
Ooh fun tag! The only two books on here that I’ve read are Gatsby (which I read so long ago I don’t remember it at all) and HP. That was a good answer, by the way! I wouldn’t have thought of that.
We read totally different things, but it’s so nice because I learn so much from you all the time. You’re brilliant.
I just saw this, you are so sweet! <3 It is fun sometimes visiting blogs of fellow readers who have different taste because I get to learn about different books and find out why people like them!
I must play this game! Even if I never post it, I MUST achieve this goal. But actually no, I am going to post it because it will give me something to post when I am out of ideas 😉 Also, please read The Knife of Never Letting Go. You can thank me later 😀 Thanks for sharing this, I love it!
