WEEK #374
(One Question.)
Life's Simple Pleasures asks: If you had to exchange a book as part of a first date, what book would you pick and why??
What a good question! I had to think about it and it will be interesting to see other answers. I looked at my reading lists for ideas. I narrowed it down to The Anatomy of Peace by The Arbinger Institute which is nonfiction and important for relational issues. Maybe for a second date I'd go with fiction: Lightning by Dean Koontz.

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 draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a 1/2 book choice or $2.50 towards GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! The supply of questions is dwindling so share some if you think of any -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify.

Your turn to share. Life's Simple Pleasures asks: If you had to exchange a book as part of a first date, what book would you pick and why??
SBB Comment Winners can choose a selection from the Updated ARC and Other books, including the "Love" and Christmas titles all in one post.
SBB Rules:
a) Must be a follower.

Open internationally and an international winner may get a smaller book or a $5.00 GC if I decide the mailing is too much.
I will pick a Comment winner from all comments made through Saturday August 10, 2019 at 5 PM central.
I mostly read romance, so my options are limited, but I'd probably go with "One Fine Day" by Theresa Weir. It's about a marriage in trouble and how the lack of comunication can ruin it. Although I'm afraid it might seem too straightforward :)
ReplyDeleteA Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron because if he's my date he'd better like animals!
ReplyDeletedepends on the date
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Mary!
ReplyDeleteExchange a book for a first date? I can't even....
Congrats winners.
ReplyDeleteI do not know what book I would choose.
THANK YOU!!
ReplyDeleteI think I would choose a travel book by Bill Bryson. Fun to read.
I'd probably pick a classic like Pride and Prejudice just because it's a beautiful read
ReplyDeleteI guess it would really depend on who my date was. I honestly can't think of one. Congrats to Mary.

to be honest i have no idea probably one of my latest favourite found before said date
ReplyDeleteA travel memoir as my other favourite mysteries and murders may not go down well.
ReplyDeleteI can't really think of any!
ReplyDeleteCongrats MaryP!
ReplyDeleteI guess it would depend on the date but probably be what I'm currently reading which are cozy mysteries.
