Today’s Question:
In honor of Halloween this weekend:


What reading skeletons do you have in your closet? Books you’d be ashamed to let people know you love? Addiction to the worst kind of (fill in cheesy genre here)? Your old collection of Bobbsey Twin Mysteries lovingly stored behind your “grown-up” books? You get the picture … come on, confess!
My Answer:
Sorry everyone…this is going to be a very boring response.  There are none.  I just recently did a huge purge of my books so there are none hidden.  The only books that I should get rid of, and not sure why I can’t, are my college text books.  Since they are from 10, 20, lets just say they are a few years old.  The content is outdated and any info, if needed, is now at my finger tips but I just can’t find the courage to toss them.

From Lori’s site:
  It struck me recently how much time I spend on this computer every day, blogging, chatting or playing games on Facebook, emailing friends and relatives, making cards and calendars, etc. etc. etc.
  We depend on each other for book reviews, giveaways, encouragement, friendship, but how well do we really know each other?
  So that is what this meme is all about, getting to know each other.
  Each Thursday I will post 3 questions for you to answer that you can copy and post on your blog with your answers.
WEEK 9 QUESTIONS

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HOLIDAY?
   It was always Christmas Eve.  But haven’t done it in a few years due to my health.  We would host a sit down supper for immediate family and friends, consisting of a 5 course fish and sides dinner (that is a Catholic/Italian tradition) and then have an open house for anyone and everyone that usually went into the wee hours of Christmas morning.
ARE YOU DRESSING UP FOR HALLOWEEN? IF YES, AS WHAT?
   No
IF YOU HAVE KIDS ARE THEY DRESSING UP? AGAIN IF YES, WHAT ARE THEY DRESSING UP AS?
  Since both boys live out of state, not sure.  My youngest son did tell me that where he lives, that there will be a party in the club house and both him and his gf are getting dressed up.  Hoping they send me some pictures.

(fyi…I was a bit bored the other day and was cleaning out some files, arranging others and had this idea that I would make a new BTT image for today…what do you think?  As I learn new things about the computer, I tend to want to test it out and that’s why I did this.
Today’s Question:
Name a book (or books) from a country other than your own that you love. Or aren’t there any?
My Answer:
Not sure if my interpretation of the question is right but, this is the first answer that popped into my mind when reading it.  The only book that came to mind, and it’s because of the original origins and that is the Bible.

  Each Thursday I will post 3 questions for you to answer that you can copy and post on your blog with your answers.
So here are the Week 8 Questions

1. Do you ever feel like no one is reading your blog?
        No because those that are reading them are also taking the time to comment, so I know some friends are visiting.  What amazes me, is that they are visiting lol.
2. Would this meme work better for you if it was offered on a different day?
        I like it on Thursday’s because I only have one other meme that I participate in on Thursdays.
3. Do you think there are already too many similar memes out in the blogisphere and I should stop this one?
        There are many memes just like there are many blogs yet discovered.  I think it really is up to the host because it does take time.
Sorry extra question this week.
4. If I were to continue with Enquiring Minds do you have any advice or changes you would like to see.
        Not yet!! lol

Today’s Question:
Suggested by Joy:
If you could rewrite the ending of any book, which book would it be? And how would you change it?
My Response:
The most recent book that I would have liked to change the ending was Beachcombers by Nancy Thayer.  I wouldn’t want to actually change the ending but have it continue.  I became so engrossed in the lives of the characters that I hated to see the book end.   I have had that happen to me on a lot of occasions and wish there had been a sequel to continue following the characters, maybe there will be one with this book!!
