I don’t remember which blog I stole this from… I was reading in bloglines, and I just copy/pasted to an email so I’d remember to fill it out. I forgot to note the blog where I saw it! Sorry!

1. One book that made you laugh: Any books in the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich make me laugh OUT LOUD… even if I’m in public. lol
2. One book that made you cry: Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson and Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows
3. One book that you loved as a child: My favorite kids’ book is Go Dog Go! As an older child, I was a fan of the Nancy Drew series, and I read a TON of the Babysitter’s Club books.
4. One book you’ve read more than once: I don’t like to re-read books.. whenever I do, I remember what happens, and then I stop reading it.
5. One book you loved, but were embarrassed to admit it: I’m not really embarrassed to admit that I love books. I am a sucker for cheesy romance novels, and I loved VC Andrews books through the Ruby series.
6. One book you hated: Animal Farm. It’s the only book I’ve ever thrown away.
7. One book that scared you: The Shining was kinda freaky. House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski was also kind of scary to me because it was just so odd. I don’t think I ever finished it, though.
8. One book that bored you: Every book I had to read in high school except the Great Gatsby. The Outlander also bored me until I started listening to it in audiobook form… now I’m excited. :)
9. One book that made you happy: Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows, even though the series is done. :(
10. One book that made you miserable: I don’t think I’ve ever had a book make me miserable..
11. One book that you weren’t brave enough to read: Most of the books by Stephen King. lol I don’t know why.
12. One book character you’ve fallen in love with: I have three! Roarke from the “In Death” series, Edward from the Twilight Series (and i am NOT afraid to admit it!), and Jean Claude from the Anita Blake series… I have a thing for vampires (except Roarke)… and series. lol
13. The last book you read: Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer… the new one comes out in a couple of weeks, and I don’t want to ruin the magic of the last one by reading something in between.
14. The next book you hope to read: Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer and The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen

Stolen from kc, again. Check out the last one I stole from her.

Here’s a music meme to reflect how eclectic your music collection might be. Put your music library in alphabetical order by song, then take the first song for each letter of the alphabet. No repeat artists. Tag five people then let them know they’ve been tagged to do the meme themselves.

A – Addicted to Me – The Click Five
B – Bab’s Uvula Who? – Green Day
C – Cailin – Unwritten Law
D – Daisy – Switchfoot
E – Easier to Be – Lifehouse (It’s actually Easier then Love by Switchfoot, but I already used that band!)
F – Face Down – The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
G – Galaxy – Jason Mraz
H – Half-Life – Duncan Shiek (Hallelujah – Jeff Buckley is 2nd! LOVE that song!)
I – I’ll Be Loving You Forever – New Kids on the Block (hahahaha)
J – Jackson – Joaquin Phoenix & Reese Witherspoon
K – Karma – Alicia Keys
L – L.O.V.E – Ashlee Simpson
M – Mad as Rabbits – Panic! At the Disco
N – The Name of the Game – ABBA
O – O’Sailor – Fiona Apple
P – Paper Bag – Anna Nalick (Actually, Panic Song – Green Day, but I used them already!)
Q – Quicksand – Incubus
R – R-Evolve – 30 Seconds to Mars
S – Sad Songs – Matt Nathanson (Actually, S.O.S – ABBA, but I used them already!)
T – Tailor Made – Colbie Caillat
U – Under the Moonlight – Travis
V – Val Kilmer – Bowling for Soup
W – Waiting – The Rocket Summer
X – XO – Fall Out Boy
Y – Yes – Coldplay
Z – Zen – Miser

Alternately, I decided to alphabetize by Artist Name and pick the first artist & song name, which proved to be a bit more embarrassing. ;)

B – Backstreet Boys – Incomplete
C – Candlebox – Surrendering
D – Damian Giglio – Crush
