Cherry Blossom Adventures

This time it is about books. One of my favourite things. I was tagged by Jen, one of my new found blogging friends (maybe a future swapping friend).

One book you have read more than once:

Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery, although i haven’t read it again for quite a few years. It is a very special copy my Kiwi nana gave me when i was about 8 or 9. It was the thickest book i had ever been given and it is had Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea in it. It was especially special (Can those two words go together?) because it was upsidedown. You’d open the book and have to turn it upsdide down to read it. Also, Looking for Alibrandi would have to be a book i have read SOOOO many times that i can’t even count them.

One book you would want on a desert island:

I would want a book by Jodi Picoult that i havn’t read before. Although i think i have read them all now, BRING ON A NEW BOOK JODI! She is my current favourite…

One book that made you laugh:

The whole Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. These are all laugh out loud books but her first couple are by far the best and if you like funny crime books these are for you. Another book read recently that made me laugh out loud was “Around the World in 80 dates” by Jennifer Cox who used to part of the PR team for Lonely Planet which must have been an awesome job.

One book that made you cry:

Alison by Margaret Watts, I read it when i was quite young and there have been a few books since then that have made me cry but this was the first of many.

One book you wish you had written:

Harry Potter series by JK Rowling because i like money, and i recon that now she must have a lot of it. Also because she is obviously so talented to be able to grab such a large audiance for her books and i guess i wouldn’t of minded having some of that talent. Either that or Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code for the same reasons.

One book you have been meaning to read:

Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis. My brother reccomended it, and he never reads so if he has enjoyed a book it must be good.

One book that changed your life:

One book that has always stuck in my mind was something i read while still in highschool (which is when i think books have the most impact on someones life in terms of changing it) and it was a book reccomended by a friend Lucy who i used to sing with at school. I ran into back in Australia recently and it was intresting to hear that she no longer sings anymore…if you read this lucy you should start again! You (and Alana) were both so talented. But anyway i am getting off track. The book was Anna’s Story by Bronwyn Donaghy. A book based on a true story of a 15 year old (The age i was when i read this book) girl who died after taking half anecstasy tablet at a Sydney rave party.

If someone feels they would like to do this meme, feel free. I don’t think i know enough people that would agree to do it!!!
