Booklr Questions – Do you reread books?
Do you reread books? I certainly haven’t reread every book I’ve ever read. But, there are a few books that I find myself rereading on a fairly regular basis. I tend to read my copy of A Wrinkle in Time about once a year. It’s a book that I’ve enjoyed reading since I was first…

Which book character do you most relate to? Having recently read a lot of Douglas Adams books, I find myself relating to Arthur Dent more than I would like. Granted, I haven’t been to travel the universe with nothing but a towel and my bathrobe, but I do feel very out of place. More often…

Have you met any authors? I haven’t met any famous authors. As much as I love to read, I’ve never been one for going out of the way to meet authors of the books I love. Maybe it’s because I don’t live near a large city, where most book signings are held, but it’s more…
Read MoreBooklr Questions – Who are your favorite book characters?
Who are your favorite book characters? It’s so easy for me to fall in love with characters in books, but rarely because they are sweet. I find myself falling in love with the brave, the decisive, and the eccentric. A few of my favorites are: Lettie Hempstock in Ocean at the End of the Lane…
