This week's question is: Activity!!! Take a picture or describe where you love to read the most…
MY ANSWER: Not time for picture taking right now. But basically I read in my room on my bed! Which isn't anything super special. I just prop myself up on my pillows and chillax as I read!
TGIF is a weekly feature created and hosted by GReads! that re-caps the week’s posts and has different question each week.
This week's question is: Required Reading: Which book from your school days do you remember reading & enjoying? Is there a book published now that you'd like to see in today's curriculum for kids?
MY ANSWER: Ooh I like this one! It took 12 years before I finally read a book I was forced to that I really enjoyed and that was Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo. It really took me by surprise that I enjoyed this so much since there wasn't anything paranormal in it--by that time I was immersed in paranormal books and that was all I wanted to read!
I want to say that maybe it was the whole revenge theme. The way he did it. I just thought it was very smart and cunning! What's not to like!
I guess in a way I think that Syrie James' Nocturne is a pretty good book. Although I honestly can't see a way to work it into the curriculum. But because it is a vampire book that has a different kind of ending I think it's a good book for vampire obsessed teens to read. Although I feel bad for anyone not in that category having to read it.
I think I didn't enjoy the books I had to read in school because I had to read them. I didn't come across them on my own or anything. It was just forced on me. Which is also why I don't really care for classics and also why I am having a hard time answering the second part of this question!
***Just thought of a good one! The Historian by Elizabeth Kostava! There's history and vampire-ness!!

exactly the way I love to read too!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny I haven't read the cound of Monte Cristo at school but I've read a lot of other books.
Seems to be a popular place to read! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love the Count of Monte Cristo. What a classic book. I too read on my bed sometimes but my comfy chair is where I mainly read. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! I read in the same place :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, my bed is my second favorite spot to read. :) It's comfy!!
ReplyDeleteI tend to fall asleep when I read in the bed.

Thanks for stopping by! A big bed with some huge pillows and cozy blanket would feel really good about now. We are getting snow today and it would feel wonderful to curl up with a book there. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe bed is so relaxing!! Hope you have a great weekend!

I haven't read The Count of Monte Cristo yet, but it sure does sound interesting! I'm always trying to read a classic every so often - maybe this can be my next one!
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for stopping by. I never had to read the Count of Monte Cristo in school, and still haven't gotten around to reading it. I think I need to catch up on my classics!
