30 Day Book Meme - Day 2

Day 02 – A book that you’ve read more than 3 times

I think this meme is underestimating how often I re-read books. I'm sure that there are books I've read more than ten times.

Any book that I loved during my childhood, so most Roald Dahls, most Jacqueline Wilsons, the Famous Five books. The Harry Potter series have probably reached double figures by now.

More recently, I've definitely re-read Just Listen and Along For the Ride by Sarah Dessen more than three times.

30 Day Book Meme - Day 1

I was going to start this at my Livejournal, but I figured it made more sense to do it over here as it's actually a blog about books.

Day 01 – The best book you read last year

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman and 1984 by George Orwell.

I was recomended Good Omens by so many people, both on and offline, and I was looking for it for ages. When I finally found a copy I was so glad I read it. I'd read a bit of Gaiman's books, but I hadn't read any of Terry Pratchett's books. I like it so much because it's actually consistantly funny, as opposed to so many other books that try to be funny but fall flat, or which have one or two funny moments, but the rest is pretty mediocre.

I don't think 1984 needs much explanation, it's a classic for a reason. :-)
