Sharing Beyond Books #27 Comment Giveaway December 17, 2011

Welcome once again to Sharing Beyond Books! 8 days left until Christmas. 
Thank you for commenting last week - everyone else's industry helped stir me to get more done.

Most all of us like both series and stand alones although several prefer series for the "family" of characters and the world building. Marybelle prefers stand alones and Linda and Llehn have no real preference.

I am glad that many of you are mostly ready for Christmas. I made progress this week by finishing most of the necessary present purchases. We even bought a tree today which we'll trim tomorrow. It is so nice that mamabunny13 is helping her daughters to get together for the holidays. I bet they will have a great time.

WEEK #27 Questions

Q1. This week MaryP asks:  Do you read books, for pleasure, that are considered classics: Charles Dickens, Emily Bronte etc?? 

A:  I occasionally do read classics. Not because I don't want to but because often they are re-reads and I have to decide to fit one in my schedule every now and then.  I'm not quite sure which authors fit in the "classics." Just this week I purchased Fahrenheit 451, which I think of as a classic, on Audio to listen to it soon.  

Q2. I have a book and holiday question - Do you have a favorite holiday story that you read during the holiday season?? (Oops I realized this was an Enquiring minds Q last year. Hope you don't mind the repeat.)

A:  First, I do always like to read the nativity story in the gospel of Luke, which is read either at church or I read myself. Only occasionally have we read that together as a family.  The secular story that we read more often is The Night Before Christmas.

Thanks to those who are sending in Questions. DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask.  Input suggestions in this Suggested Question Form.  At the end of each month I will draw from the suggestions I used the month before and that person will get a book choice or GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions but some of you others might want to get in a question or two as we have a few people submitting most of the questions so far.  Either way - it works for me. :-)

Your turn to share:
