TGIF is a Friday meme hosted by Ginger at Greads. She always has the best questions.
Today’s Question:
Answer:
Gold: The Bride by Julie Garwood
As a teen I read this book so many times the cover came off of two different books. Still about 10 years after reading this book for the first time I have to re-buy it as my copy gets lost, damaged, or stolen by my sister.
Silver: Jane Eyre
Every single time I get sick I want this book above all others. The first time I read it I had pink eye, strep throat, and double ear infection. (Reading while having pink eye is not recommended) Since I read it the first time I read it every winter when I’ve been overtaken by a cold.
Bronze: EverneathThis newcomer to the list blew me away. This book about addiction and the depression that comes with it was done in such a way that it doesn’t scream that is what’s about. When I’m super annoyed, missing my (non-substance) addiction , or simply off I pick up this book and it puts me back together.
Question:
Answer:
My mood affects my reading deeply as evidenced above. I rarely get depressed. When I am sad I’m more likely to not read at all. Being sick though definitely affects how I feel about what I am reading. I’m more apt to fall in love with a book if I’m ill than if I’m not.
When I’m happy I’m more likely to only want to read Historical or Paranormal adult romance. If I’m angry romance annoys me, so I usually end up reading either non-fiction or more serious books like historical fiction.
Rie (@missiontoread)I'm a wife, student, and a dog-lover who reads when I should be folding laundry (bane of my existance), I write (rarely as academic papers consume my life), and love getting wrapped up in fiction.

Of course the old classics, like Jane Eyre need some medals. =)
ReplyDeleteNew follower!Happy hopping.
ReplyDeleteOld classics are the best! :D I love Jane Austen the best, but Charlotte Bronte (and the other Bronte sisters) are great too.
