MUSING MONDAYS {1}

MUSING MONDAYS… is a weekly event where MizB will ask a book/reading-related question, and you answer with your own thoughts on the topic.



This week’s musing is… a book meme!


What was the last book you…


• borrowed from the library?
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland...I wrote my Literary Theory term paper on Alice's phenomenological experiences in Wonderland

• bought?
I just bought three great illustrated junior editions of Peter Pan, Dr. Doolittle, and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (so I won't have to borrow it again)

• cried over?
Lauren Myracle's Shine...this was a powerful and thought provoking novel.

• disliked and couldn’t finish?
I honestly have no idea! I haven't not finished a book in a long time.

• read & loved?
Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes by Jonathan Auxier...this book has filled the Harry Potter shaped hole in my heart.

• got for review? (or: got in the mail?)
Released by Megan Duncan...an awesome and refreshing apocalyptic novel.

• gave to someone else?
I just gave away four copies of Tiffany King's Meant to Be.

• stayed up too late reading?
I pulled an all nighter reading Released...I couldn't put it down.

    I've never heard of Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes, but I'm intrigued that you think it's as good as Harry Potter. I'm gonna check that out!

    Wow, that must have been one interesting paper you wrote!! I have yet to read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, unfortunately!
    If that's how you describe it, I can't wait to get my hands on Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes!!

Hey there cupcake! You look lovely today and I can tell you're thinking very smarticle thinky thoughts....so go ahead and post 'em!

After much thought and only recently being introduced to blog awards and blogger tagging, I'm going to have to declare this an award/tag free blog. I'm honored, humbled, and so very grateful for simply being considered for an award, but I simply do not have the time to return the favor. If I could, I'd award y'all with dozens of yummy cupcakes ;) Thanks for understanding.
