Book Poll

Since I'm trying to fill in my Fall Book Club Challenge (for NBC) right now and am having a hard time doing it I'm going to start a poll....

What are your 5 Favorite Books? (Or if series of books)

What is a book you would never recommend to someone else?

Who is your favorite author?

Favorite Genre?

What is a book that you figured you wouldn't like but ended up enjoying?

What is a book you figured you would like but didn't?

Re: Book Poll

  • What are your 5 Favorite Books? (Or if series of books)

    Outlander Series, Little Women, Hunger Games Series, The Bridal Quartet, Harry Potter

    What is a book you would never recommend to someone else? The Lovely Bones

    Who is your favorite author? Diana Gabldon (Outlander)

    Favorite Genre? apparently I like a bit of everything. Though I stick towards more fiction than non fic

    What is a book that you figured you wouldn't like but ended up enjoying? The Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I didn't see myself liking a book about vampires and hadn't ever read a romance novel before but I am shamelessly sucked in. I am almost done with book 8 of the series and I started 2 weeks ago.

    What is a book you figured you would like but didn't? The Shack - I had heard such great things about it. Not a fan. It was a little too weird for me. I'm also not a hugely religious person though I do believe in God.

    Since I'm trying to fill in my Fall Book Club Challenge (for NBC) right now and am having a hard time doing it I'm going to start a poll....

    What are your 5 Favorite Books? (Or if series of books) Harry Potter, Carry Me Home, The Middle Place, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and Three Cups of Tea before news surfaced it was embellished.

    What is a book you would never recommend to someone else? Lord of the Flies. Ick.

    Who is your favorite author? JK Rowling I suppose.

    Favorite Genre? I like non fiction that reads like a novel, if that makes sense. I love The Glass Castle and Half Broke Horses (?). I also like Factory Girls, about girls who work in Chinese factories to make all the crap we buy.

    What is a book that you figured you wouldn't like but ended up enjoying? Harry Potter, no joke. I didn't get the hype, and only bought it so I'd have something to read on my flight to Ecuador. I couldn't wait to get home to buy book 2 in English, since I figured I wouldn't understand all the fantasy stuff in Spanish!

    What is a book you figured you would like but didn't? A few, I wish I could think of them right now. Oh, Breakfast at Tiffanys, or something like that. By that Patterson dude. Not that I thought I would like it, but my sister recommended it, and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Too superficial and predictable.

    ETA: to fix titles I butchered!

  • What are your 5 Favorite Books? (Or if series of books) Harry Potter series, Little House series, Outlander, Freakonomics, American Wife

    What is a book you would never recommend to someone else?The Lovely Bones - I couldn't finish it

    Who is your favorite author? J.K. Rowling

    Favorite Genre? fiction - historical or young adult

    What is a book that you figured you wouldn't like but ended up enjoying? Twilight

    What is a book you figured you would like but didn't? One Day (David Nicholls)

    Blog
  • What are your 5 Favorite Books? (Or if series of books) The Thorn Birds, Harry Potter, War&Peace, The Blood of Flowers, Wicked

    What is a book that you figured you wouldn't like but ended up enjoying? The Piano Teacher.

    What is a book you figured you would like but didn't? The Shopaholic books... I should have stopped reading and tossed the book.
