‘Nother Book Meme!

Debi tagged me earlier this week with this fun little book meme that is going around. We were off on vacation, then I’ve been trying (ever so slowly) to catch up on things. I’m afraid blog-reading came after unpacking, laundry, etc. But, better late than never will have to apply here! Thanks for tagging me Debi, and without further ado… I give you my answers to the fun book meme!

The next 5 books on your to be read shelf:

1. Thorn in my Heart by Liz Curtis Higgs
2. Whitethorn Woods by Maeve Binchy (at the library, they called and I need to stop by and pick it up)
3. Murder on a Bad Hair Day by Anne George
4. What a Girl Wants by Kristin Billerbeck
5. Not sure, either the next Anne George book, Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner or Blessings by Anna Quindlen, will depend on my mood

I’m also going to append this with the exact thing that Debi posted on hers. Great minds think alike 😀 “I do, of course, reserve the right to change my mind. The whole woman’s prerogative thing, you know.” What I plan to read and what I actually end up reading, in order, often depend entirely on my mood.

The last 4 books you’ve read:

1. Murder on a Girl’s Night Out by Anne George
2. The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler
3. Loving Ways by Gail Gaymer Martin
4. The Full Cupboard of Life by Alexander McCall Smith

The last 3 books you’ve borrowed (library or friend):

All from the library, I don’t borrow that many from friends or family:

1. The Full Cupboard of Life by Alexander McCall Smith
2. Miss Julia Strikes Back by Ann B. Ross
3. Between, Georgia by Joshilyn Jackson

The last 2 non-fiction books you’ve read:

1. 90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper
2. Can’t think of another one, I don’t read much non-fiction at all. I have several on my TBR shelf but never seem to get to them 🙂

The 1 book you wish everyone would read:

1. Hmm, sort of a tough question. I’d like for everyone to read the Bible, but I must admit, I’ve not read the entire thing. I mostly wish everyone would just read. Read for yourself, read to your kids, buy your spouse a book. Read for enlightenment, read for pleasure, read for knowledge, read for fun. Just Read!

I won’t tag anyone else, but if you’d like to play along, please do so! Leave me a comment and let me know if you decide to play, so I can be sure to come by and read your answers 😀

  1. Lynne Said,

    I did this one sometime last week. Fun meme. Good answers – especially your last one. I agree, everyone should just read!

  2. Sherry Said,

    I am going to vote for “Good in Bed” for your 5th book. My Yahoo book club read this over a year ago and every one of us LOVED IT!

    It is so much deeper than the title leads you to believe.

  3. Dianne Said,

    I know what you mean about your reading mood! Still can’t believe how much you read – that’s awesome. It’s hot here today but I spent a lot of time outside reading already 🙂

    I’m going to do this meme next week!

  4. twiga92 Said,

    Thorn in My Heart by Liz Curtis Higgs was quite good! So was What a Girl Wants by Kristin Billerbeck. Enjoy!

  5. Debi Said,

    Oh…I love how you answered the last one…”Just Read.” Perfectly said, Stacy!

  6. Mandalyn Said,

    I used to read so much before I had children but now it’s hard for me to find the time. The last book I read was “Taking Care of the Me in Mommy” by Lisa Welchel. It was so good for me. It helped me realize that I should not feel guilty for needing “me time”! I guess those are the kind of books I need right now!

  7. amy Said,

    There is a lot of these that I want to read..I think first would be 90 minutues in Heaven!

  8. Jennifer Said,

    Howzabout….what’s your favorite book of all time? I’m in need of a new reading list…I’m about done with my stack here 🙂

  9. cheryl Said,

    That is such a great meme!! I think I may use it for my next Random Tuesday post (or soon, if I don’t tomorrow!) I LOVE the Anne George mysteries. I’m from right outside Birmingham and it’s so cool to read about all these places i see all the time. She was a great writer!!!

  10. Sparky Duck Said,

    I concur, Good in Bed would be my vote, but I also have a Philly bias.

  11. Melody Said,

    Hi Stacy, I decided to play! 🙂

  12. Sonya Said,

    I just read 90 Minutes In Heaven and I’m dying to read a few that you have on your sidebar! I was gonna write a review of 90 Minutes In Heaven but I’m afraid alot of people will get mad at me! LOL! I’m reading Even Now right now. This is a fun meme! Your answers gave me a few more books to add to my TBR list!

  13. Deena @ The Bookshelf Said,
