Literary life

"Something fun and mildly absorbing for the book-lovers"

Using only books you have read this year (2009), answer these questions. Try not to repeat a book title. It's a lot harder than you think!

Claire from Paperback reader tagged me in this note on facebook, and I thought it would be fun to try...I've read nearly 500 books this year so plenty to chose from!

Describe yourself:
How do you feel: Ease (Patrick Gale)

Describe where you currently live: Crowded Street (Winifred Holtby)

If you could go anywhere, where would you go: Desirable Residence (Madeleine Wickham)

Your favorite form of transportation: Easter Parade (Richard Yates)

Your best friend is: There for you (Louise Candish)

You and your friends are: Friendly Young Ladies (Mary Renault)

What's the weather like: Quartet in Autumn (Pym)

You fear: House-bound (Winifred Peck)

What is the best advice you have to give: Keep smiling through (Charlotte Church)

Thought for the day: Remember me? (Sophie Kinsella)

How I would like to die: When I forget (Hirsonen)

My soul's present condition: Angel (Elizabeth Taylor)

  1. Yay! Great to read your answers. I could have used The Crowded Street but didn't think. Some are harder than they look, especially the transport one.
