Thanks again for the interesting answers. :-)
It looks like many of us would give second chances to our favorite authors but are less likely to give a second chance to a new to us author if we didn't care for the their first book we read. Some mention they would check reviews then before giving a second chance. There is an example when reviews can be helpful to us. :-)
I was surprised that I had one of the larger families although Jane, Jennifer and Louisa were up there too. And Mary P noted four generations who could populate a small country! I love that Jennifer has a Nanny who is 92. Just think of the changes she has observed over her lifetime! I hope Carol will feel part of the blog family so she knows she doesn't have to feel alone.
Most of us started as young readers. I liked how some of you were avid library readers. Mary P mentioned how books are part of gift giving - very cool! Ricki is the only one who acknowledged in print the addiction that we all share: BOOKS! *G*
The Winner from SBB #7 comments is: #8 LINDA K. There are still 9 'love' books to pick from, 8 Christmas choices and 4 Summer titles below. So Linda - please choose a book from the remaining Love Books List for Giveaway or remaining Christmas Giveaway Books or the summer books below and let me know your choice, your address and a choice of bookmarks by completing the WINNER FORM.
I am backing down to two questions instead of three for the forseeable future to help with time constraints for all of us. I hope no one has a big objection.
A: I would love to see the Project Universe Series by Pauline Baird Jones made into TV series or movie. These are science fiction romance stories and I love the steampunk, time travel mix and aliens from the future mix. I'm reading book #4 right now.
Frank Peretti books would be great too. Oh and the Study Series or Inside Out and Outside In by Maria V. Snyder too!
Q2. I decided to pick this Q to go with Winnie's. What is an existing movie that you like that you read as a book first?
A: I'm sure I am going to miss one... or two... good choices. The Harry Potter movies are grand but not really as full as the books. The movie that comes to mind where I thought they did a pretty good job with the book is The Time Traveller's Wife. I actually listened to that on Audible which was a little hard to get used to because Henry jumps forward and backward in time.
