Questions (yes - there are a bunch - answer one or two . . . or all of them!): What is your favorite book (yes - this may be a hard one!!)? Is your favorite book listed in your LT library? If it is listed, do you have anything special in the tags or comments section? Have you looked to see if you can add any information to the Common Knowledge? AND a little off topic, do you find that your 5-starred books are consistent with your favorites, and is your favorite a 5-star rated book in your library? How have others rated your favorite book? :)
Let's see, I guess I usually go with The Great Gatsby as my favorite book, I decided that in 11th grade. Since then I've added a few The Namesake, The Time Traveler's Wife, The Tipping Point. And recently I've sort of come to the conclusion it's ok to have a lot of favorites. Most recently I'd add a few more to my list, The Season, Willow, If I Stay, Going Too Far and that's only in the past month or so!
Almost all of my books are listed in my LT library. I have The Great Gatsby tagged as "favorite" in my library and that appears to be the only one and it's rated 5 stars! I guess it's easy for me to have a lot of favorites when you break it down by genre but I'd say all my favorites are either a 4 or 5 star rating. The Great Gatsby has an average rating of 3.96.
What's one of your all-time favorites? A recent favorite?
The Great Gatsby is a good one. I'm excited that Willow comes out next week, so I can finally get a copy.
ReplyDeleteI love The Great Gatsby!!!
ReplyDeleteStill need to read The Time Traveler's Wife.
Hey, do you ever do people lookalikes? You could do one about Robert Pattinson, Luke Grimes, and Kyle Gallner.
ReplyDeleteThe Great Gatsby is one of my favorite books also! My all time fave is A Wrinkle In Time and my new favorite is Looking For Alaska.
ReplyDeleteAll my 5 star books on LT are ones I really enjoy and recommend and then I used the favorite tag to single out those titles that I really connected with.
ReplyDeleteThe Great Gatsby is one of my all-time favorites too, but for some reason I've only given it 4 stars on LT. I should probably read it again one of these days and see if it moves up at least a half-star :-)!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting too old to choose. I often reflexively say Gatsby, too.
ReplyDelete(I was obsessed with him, perhaps I still am)
It is too hard to pick a favorite. The reason I didn't answer this week's question. The Great Gatsby was a favorite when I had to read in HS, but I haven't read again since. Time Traveler's Wife was wonderful. Pride & Prejudice, Harry Potter...so different but I love these books!
ReplyDeleteLaina- I do have some coming up that involve people... I'll look into this thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments everyone!
I will never forget doing a presentation in English (High School) for The Great Gatsby and dressing up in period style clothes and other fun things - what great memories!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and participating in Thingers last week! I've got the post up for this week, what do you do for your least-favorite books? ~ Wendi
