On the Lighter Side
Tagged
I try not to post anything personal, mainly because I think I'm a pretty boring person, but I promised Therese from Aussie Coffee Shop I would do this meme way back on the 13th of December. Therese is also hosting the Catholic Carnival. What a little bee she is!!
We have been very busy moving our lady friend, who has terminal cancer, into a retirement apartment. She is failing so fast that we may have to move her immediately into assisted living. We will know more after I speak with Hospice this morning. Please keep Rose in your prayers.
I realize the questions call for "one" book but I do everything to excess!
- One book that changed your life: They all helped change my life in some way.
- One book that you’ve read more than once: In This House of Brede, The Screwtape Letters, and Winds of War
- One book you’d want on a desert island: How to Build a Boat
- One book that made you laugh: The World According to Garp, Comma Sense
- One book that made you cry: I don’t cry very often
- One book that you wish had been written: Eating Carbs While Staying Slim
- One book that you wish had never been written. Huh?? Oh, I guess The Course in Miracles.
- One book you’re currently reading: I never read one book at a time. Right now I am reading God’s Providence Explained by Father Henri Morice, Cell by Stephen King, Bridge of Sighs by Richard Russo, Peak Learning by Ronald Gross, and Writing Tools by Roy Peter Clark.
- One book you’ve been meaning to read: That would be pretty much any book I hadn’t read yet.
I tag anyone who reads.

Thanks for sharing Adrienne. Your book for a desert island is perfect.
I'll bite.
One book that changed your life: "They all helped change my life in some way." Ditto for me, I like that thought.
Books that you’ve read more than once: Little Women, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre.
One book you’d want on a desert island: Christian Prayer Book (The Liturgy of the Hours)
One book that made you laugh: Hens Dancing by Raffaella Barker
One book that made you cry: The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold
One book that you wish had been written: "How to Make Fabulously Gorgeous and Real-Looking Wedding Bouquets Using Faux Flowers"
Books that you wish had never been written: Books (like the Course in Miracles")that could harm someone if they took it seriously; also books like "Miss Garnet's Angel" that I thought I would love, but couldn't stand, and were a colossal waste of paper and printer's ink.
Books you’re currently reading: "The Girl With Braided Hair", by Margaret Coel; "Artful Blogging: Visually Inspiring Online Journals", "1001 Gardens You Must See Before You Die"
One book you’ve been meaning to read: The Secret of Dreams, by Pedro Meseguer, S.J.
Oh gosh - I forgot about Jane Eyre, Little Women et al. Such great books
Let's not forget and Ladies of the Club by Helen Hooven Santmyer. I was soooooo sad when I finished that ginormous book. I wanted it to go on forever. And...my husband liked it. too!!!
I read Cell when it first came out. Good beginning, not so great ending. Typical for Stephen King. I don't know why I continue to be a fan!
We keep hoping for another "The Stand" - that's why we keep reading.
