Sunday Social: Literature

If you've been reading my blog posts for any amount of time, you've probably seen me say that I LOVE to read. So, I was very excited when I saw this week's Sunday Social questions.

1. Favorite childhood book:
I admit, I was having a really hard time with this one. I have always loved to read-even when I was a kid. But no book is sticking out as my favorite from when I was younger. I even asked my Facebook friends what their favorite book was as a child to try and get ideas. So, instead I'm going to tell my favorite children's book. I love the book, Holes. I read it to my 4th graders every year.

2 . Favorite Book lately:
 Right now, I'm loving the Gone Series. There are 6 books. The first 5 have already come out and I've read them, but the last one doesn't come out until April. It's no fun waiting for it to come out to find out how it will all end! I read most of this series while I was on my break, so I had lots of time to read. I read a couple of the books in less than 24 hours! This book definitely gives you something to think about.

3. Book you wish you could live in:
Harry Potter. Do I even need to explain? Awesome characters. Awesome places. Magical powers.

4. If you could be any character from a book who would it be and why?
 Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series. Hermione is a smart and strong female character. Without Hermione, Harry and Ron would not have survived many of the things they got into. She was always prepared and thought of things the guys didn't. Plus she got to marry Ron. :)

 

5. Favorite Book turned Movie?
 How the Grinch Stole Christmas {cartoon or Jim Carrey version}. While there are some movies out there that were based on books that I do enjoy, I can never get over the fact that the book is always better. It's very hard for me to love a movie based on a book I read. Again, there are some I enjoy, but I LOVE the Grinch movies and book.

6. Favorite Magazines:
I used to read magazines a lot, but not anymore. Now, the only magazine I read regularly is People magazine. I like it because it has celebrity stories, but also stories about everyday people and some things going on in the world.

 

Happy Sunday!
