1. Hardcover or paperback, and why? I don't usually care. Paperback usually means cheaper. :) If it's hardcover, I do have to take the paper outside off. It bugs me.
2. If I were to own a book shop I would call it…The Book Nook. It would be next door to The Cookie Nook. You could buy a cookie and go read a book. What could be better?
3. My favourite quote from a book (mention the title) is…From Eat, Pray, Love: "In the end, what I have come to believe about God is simple. It's like this--I used to have this really great dog. She came from the pound. She was a mixture of about ten different breeds, but seemed to have inherited the finest features of them all. She was brown. When people asked me, "What kind of a dog is that?" I would always give the same answer: "She's a brown dog." Similarly, when the question is raised, "What kind of a God do you believe in?" my answer is easy: "I believe in a magnificent God."
4. The author (alive or dead) I would love to have lunch with would be ….C.S. Lewis
5. If I was going to a deserted island and could only bring one book, except for the SAS survival guide, it would be…The Bible. It sounds so goody-goody of me, but it's the only thing I've re-read and enjoyed the second time as much as (or more than) the first.
6. I would love someone to invent a bookish gadget that….Something that holds them open on a table. I didn't think it was a necessary gadget until I tried to type the quote above. :)
7. The smell of an old book reminds me of….My elementary school library. I used to check out a book about Christmas around the world. The book was ancient and I was one of only two people to ever check it out. I'm not sure why I loved it so much! I guess I just loved Christmas that much.
8. If I could be the lead character in a book (mention the title), it would be….Anne in Anne of Green Gables.
9. The most overestimated book of all times is….Harry Potter series. I'm sure the books are good (I have read the first) but it seems like a lot of hype.
10. I hate it when a book….ends before I'm ready for it to!
Tag to whomever sees this next! Corinne or Lisa!

Hey, there IS something that holds books open on a table! Dad has one of them and brings it to coffee shops all the time to hold his Bible open. He swears that little gizmo starts more God-related conversations with strangers than anything else. :) I don't know what it's called (probably not Bible-holder-opener), but you should ask him.
I'm it! But I'll have to try and copy the questions then post on my blog...it's been so long since I posted. It's okay, I'm sitting in a hotel room in the middle of rural Wisconsin I should have plenty of time. You might be on to something with the Book Nook--just make sure it's a cozy place to read--maybe have actual nooks.
