I knew ignoring the slave narrative in house museums was an issue, I just didn't realize how bad it was.

    edited April 2015
    I'm new to this board, this looks fun.

    1) What character from a book would you most like to be be BFFs with? Hmm...maybe Katie from Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks, she was so strong and hard working, yet seems like she'd be fun to drink wine and catch up with.
    2) First Book you can remember reading on your own? Chapter book? Babysitters club maybe?
    3) Favorite Book Blog? I don't have one, I'll research some of the ones recommended on here.
    4) If you could forget one book, and experience it for the first time again, which would it be? I know it's tacky, but A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks or maybe 19 Minutes by Jodi Picolt.
    5) Name a book that changed your life (or at least had a very strong influence on you)? Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis I've recommended it to so many people. I literally cried at parts, such a good read I can't say enough.
    6) What book would you like to see made into a movie? I just read 13 Reasons Why, I'd love to see that into a movie assuming they kept to the plot. 19 Minutes would be good too, again as long as they stuck to the plot.  Finally, Catcher in the Rye, I'd love to see the classic scene in the field.
    7) What character from a book would you most like to punch in the face? Hmm I wasn't a huge fan of Tris in the Divergent Series, the main character from Gone Girl annoyed me too, but I think that was the point.
