Feature and Follow Friday AND Book Beginnings

Alison Can Read
Feature and Follow Friday, July 12.  Featured Blog: Girl in the Woods. Congratulations.  I like your blog and your picture.

Q: Activity: PHOTOBOMB!!!! Photobomb a picture with your favorite book. Share it of course.



Not very creative since this photo is used on my blog but there is no one home to take a recent photo of me with a favorite.  However, all four of the books pictured are in my top books: Pride and Prejudice by Austen; Harry Potter by Rowling, Whistling Season by Ivan Doig, and Bean Trees by Kingsolver.


Book Beginnings at Rose City Reader:

"Madeleine Tully turned fourteen yesterday, but today she did not turn anything. Oh wait. She turned a page." -From A Corner of White by Jaclyn Moriarty
I feel like Madeleine lots of times. Like I am nothing special and the only thing I have to do is read.

    Oh, and I just saw your Rafflecopter question too - If I could be a character in a book, I think I would be Hermione!

    I'd probably pick to be Lizzie Bennet from P&P or Hermione...oooh or maybe Ali from Trickster's Choice. I'm going with that one haha

    Harry Potter is another book I couldn't manage to finish. I did love the Bean Trees.
