Life According to Literature


THE RULES: Using only books you have read during the year (2019), answer these questions. Try not to repeat a book title. Let me know below, if you've joined in too.
  • Describe yourself: Becoming | Michelle Obama
  • How do you feel: Called | Mark Labberton
  • Describe where you currently live: Inland | Tea Obreht
  • A place you like to hang out: The Library Book  | Susan Orleans
  • If you could go anywhere, where would you go: Astoria | Peter Stark
  • Your favorite form of transportation: The Walk | Richard Paul Evans
  • Your best friend is: The Friend | Sigrid Nunez
  • You and your friends are: The Great Believers | Rebecca Makkai
  • What's the weather like: The Sun and Her Flowers | Rupi Kaur

  • Thought for the day: Disappearing Earth | Julia Phillips
  • How would I like to die: Burial Rites | Hannah Kent
  • My soul's present condition: Crossing to Safety | Wallace Stegner
Guess I'll have to do this every year. It was fun and a little weird. What do you think of my selections?

Thanks Brona for the idea (Brona's Books)

    It's always fun to see what the books we read say about us, isn't it? :)

    I like your selections! I thought about doing it, but can't remember that many titles of books. I really need to keep a better list!

      I'd love to help you start a Goodreads account. It is so easy and free.

    Very clever and well done! I especially like the best advice you give: we should all be feminists!
