Friday---Dec. 23

Alison Can Read

Follow Friday Question of the Week: If you had to spend eternity inside the pages of a book which book would you choose and why?

Hm.m.m.m--- It is a toss up between Pride and Prejudice- living my days at Pemberley; Persuasion- living with faithful Captain Frederick Wentworth; or Emma- splitting my time between two estates with kind George Knightly. I thought about Jane Eyre but decided that Mr. Rochester is just a bit too brooding for me. And, of course, it would be a hoot to live on the spaceship in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and have hilarious adventures ever after. Hogwarts and Narnia would both be wonderful to visit.  Ah, so many choices.

Congratulations to the featured blogger this week:   From the Shadows I Review




TGIF from Greads question of the week: Dear Santa: Which books made it to your Christmas wish list this year?

I only asked Santa for one book this year (but it was a last minute request so I doubt he had time):  Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James. Now that I read this intro to the book, I want it even more.

    I'd love to live in Pemberley. Or any Austen novel for that matter. I just love her.

    I'd choose Narnia or Hogwarts as well. Although I might consider Alagaesia...

    I love when that happens. When a book hooks you right off and suddenly you want all the books in the series. =D

    Thanks for stopping by my blog.
    I picked Persuasion and Captain Wentworth, but P&P and Mr. Darcy is a great 2nd choice. I'd take Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester too.

    I thought about picking Jane Austen and if I had, Persuasion would've been my choice. Good taste! :) New follower, check me out at:
