Past Questions



November 2007


If you only gave books as presents this holiday season, name up to three titles you'd like to give.

Any of the Georgia Nicolson series by Louise Rennison --- they are hilarious!

*****

*****

TWILIGHT by Stephenie Meyer, DRAGONFLIGHT by Anne McCaffrey, and TOUCHING SPIRIT BEAR by Ben Mikaelsen.

*****

I would give THE GOLDEN COMPASS to my mom, because it is a very thought-provoking, but fun book. I would give my sister, who likes to travel, the book 1,000 PLACES TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE, because it is a great to-do list. I would give my friend who likes philosophy the book THE PIG THAT WANTS TO BE EATEN: 100 Experiments for the Armchair Philosopher, because it can keep your mind working hard.

FIRST KISS (THEN TELL) edited by Cylin Busby would go to one of my best friends, Alyssa, who likes romance a little and loves the author Alyson Noel, who contributed to the collection.

I would give Sarah Dessen's DREAMLAND to my friend Angel, even though I haven't read it yet, because we share similar tastes in books.

And I would give one of my best friends, Troy, James Patterson's MAXIMUM RIDE: THE ANGEL EXPERIMENT, because when I told him about it, he said he wanted to check it out.
