Day 21 – Favorite book from your childhood

So so good. I was recently trolling the library looking for books for my son and remembered this fondly. They keep it in the YA section now. He’s still a few years away… but if you haven’t read it I highly recommend it.

Madeleine L’Engle was a female writing Sci fi fantasy in the 60’s. It took her years to get this published. Not only because it was too different but also it has a female protagonist which according to the publishers just wasn’t done.

Day 20 – Favorite romance book

Kathleen Woodiwiss is credited with creating the modern day romance. I’ve read them all and recommend the flame and the flower, the wolf and the dove, ashes in the wind and my favorite of all of them….

a ridiculous story about a women who marries a man waiting to be hanged so she doesn’t have to marry a man of her father’s choosing. She then goes back to her tropical island a widow only to find out that the man she married is still alive and has escaped the hangman’s noose and come looking for her. SIGH!! It’s so AWESOME!!

Day 19 – Favorite book turned into a movie

Although Colin Firth in the BBC edition is a much better Mr Darcy, I could watch this movie every day and never get tired of it. The book is a little difficult in the beginning but worth the effort.
