Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
Thank you to Susan @ blogginboutbooks.com for submitting this week’s theme! Let’s see how many titles I can find that help to describe myself. You might enjoy my sense of humour with some of these picks, too.
1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
I’m a quiet and unassuming person who likes to observe what’s going on before jumping into the fray.
2. A Beautiful Mind by Sylvia Nasar
I’d like to think I have a beautiful mind.
3. Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson
I eat a pretty healthy diet and was one of those kids who happily had fruit or a salad as an after school snack. Even to this day, I’d rather have a piece of fruit than a bowl of chips most days!
4. Go Tell It on the Mountain by James Baldwin
My family was low income for most of my childhood. On nice weekends my parents would take us out into nature for long walks and picnics because it fit our budget. I loved visiting the mountains most of all, and still adore nature to this day.
5. Touch Not the Cat by Mary Stewart
Unfortunately, as I’ve said here before, I’m terribly allergic to cats and so can never pet them.
6. We Are All Made of Molecules by Susin Nielsen
Being technically true is the best kind of true. 😉
7. The Past is a Foreign Country by David Lowenthal
Here’s another somewhat tongue-in-cheek answer from me. Although, as someone who immigrated from the U.S. to Canada as a young adult, my past literally is a foreign country now.
8. More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera
Nobody’s life is perfect, of course, but mine has been more happy than not. I try to focus on the positive and what I do have instead of what I wish I could have.
9. Fairy Tales Written By Rabbits by Mary A. Parker
As a child, I read every single fairy tale I could find. As an adult, I love rabbits and read as many books about them as possible whether fiction or nonfiction.
