I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day on Thursday!
A Feast of Books. Enjoy.
(I've read all these books. I liked some better than others!)
1. Bread - What book is purely fluff, and has no real plot line?
 |
| Ursula K. Le Guin's Book of Cats A purrpurri of the literary legend's quirky and winsome cat poems, mediations, and drawings. (My grandcats, Fred and George, insisted I include this book.) |
2. Turkey - What book made you want to fall asleep?
 |
| Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel It not only made me want to fall asleep, I did fall asleep when we were listening to this tome on a car trip. At 600+ if would have been a long nap. It is a good book but so soporific. |
3. Gravy - What book makes the whole series worth reading?
 |
| Lirael by Garth Nix, #2 Old Kingdom The series has six books dribbled out for publication over 26 years from first to last. I loved them all but this one I loved the best. Could it have something to do with the Disreputable Dog? |
4. Stuffing - What book is stuffed full of action scenes?
 |
| No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy The setting is the Texas-Mexico border. The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones. The action, disaster, and horror is none-stop. |
5. Mashed Potatoes - What book looked good, and then wasn’t?
 |
| Christmas Cupcake Murder by Joanne Fluke. Bah, Humbug! My note after I finished it -- "Not my idea of a mystery. The book is good if you want/need new cookie or cupcake recipes. Otherwise, I don't recommend it." |
6. Cranberries - What book has the sweetest romance?
 |
| Princess Bride by William Golden Princess Buttercup and Wesley,of course, and a sweet love story alongside a swashbuckling tale all in one. If you've seen the movie and not read the book, you are are missing a delight. |
7. Corn - What’s the corniest book you’ve ever read?
 |
| Three Men In a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome So many groaners and slapstick situations. Corny, very corny. (We always have Crazy Corn Casserole with our turkey!) |
8. Green beans - What book is too long and needs to be shortened?
 |
| Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling I love the series but this book is just too long at 898 pages. It needs a good editor to slash some of those pages. |
9. Pumpkin Pie - What book do you read to get out of a reading slump?
 |
| Any book by John Green The Anthropocene Reviewed is full of essays, so it would be a good choice to break through a reading slump. |
10. Dog/Cat - What’s your favorite Thanksgiving food that you would steal from the table?
 |
| Dog here. I vote for turkey and gravy. I'll even eat a few green beans, if I must. |
