Todays Question:

What makes you love / hate a character in a book?

My Answer:
First and foremost, I need to relate to the characters, as if they are life like. With both good and bad traits, emotions, habits, etc. A few months ago I read Beachcombers, about 3 sisters returning to their family home in Nantucket and following their lives over the course of a summer. I didn’t want the book to end because I felt that I was part of “their circle” and wanted the story to continue. I guess that is why I am not a fan of UF, PNR. As far as “hating” a character, it depends on the plot. If there is an “evil” or “bad” character, and the writer describes and conveys the personality as life like, but maybe not relatable, I am able to “hate” that “person”.

“Meet Me On Monday!” (From Java’s site)
Blogging is a funny thing…we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, “who is this person!?” I know them…but yet I don’t know them! I want to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great way for all of us to “meet” each other!
Every Sunday I will post five get to know you questions that you can copy and paste into your own Monday post and we can all learn a little more about each and every one of us!!
“Its a great way to to meet new friends and for others to get to know me better….one Monday at a time!!!”….as quoted by the Chacogirl!!
I will make this SIMPLE and FUN!!!
Questions:

1. What is your favorite all time movie?

2. How often do you go over the speed limit?

Pleading the 5th. I admit, I do have a “heavy foot”.

Car Driving Red Sportscar Smiley Smilie Emoticon Emoticons Animated Animation Animations Gif

3. What really gives you the creeps?
Snakes…so bad that I couldn’t even look at images of them to post.
4. What is your favorite snack?

5 scoop..double chocolate and chocolate chip ice cream with peanut butter and marshmallow toppings.

5. Would you rather be a dog named Killer or a cat named Fluffy?
Call me Killer
