book meme wants me to neglect my loves

[meganbmoore]

1. Favourite Book? I believe this is a very evil question and refuse to answer it.

2. Favourite Author? Elizabeth Peters, Jim Butcher, Simon R. Green, Marsha Canham, Loretta Chase, Dorothy L. Sayers, Patricia McKillip, too many to list.
3. Favourite Genre? Flipflops between mystery and fantasy.
4. Favourite series of books?  Most likely the Amelia Peabody books by Elizabeth Peters.
5. Favourite Illustrator? Charles Vess, Brian Froud, Kinuko Craft
6. Favourite book from when you were little? Trixie Belden and the old school Nancy Drew books.
7. Favourite Hero? Again with the evil questions.  Ok, Amelia Peabody would mop the floor with anyone in the universe, so...
8. Favourite Villain? No idea.
9. Favourite couple? Amelia/Emerson have the questionable honor of possibly being the only couple I would read endless prose fiction purely for their interactions.  (For whatever reason, pairings are even more secondary to me in books...)
10. Favourite Character? Oh, let's just say Amelia again.

5 Lasts

1. Last book you bought?  Hmm. *glnces at the small pile that has not yet been released into the wilds of TBR* Either The Moorchild by Eloise Jarvis McGraw or Cybelle's Secret by Juliet Marillier
2. Last book you were given?  Swordpoint by Ellen Kushner and  the fourth Young Wizards book by Diane Duane.  (Fromdesdenova .)
3. Last book you pre-ordered?  Heir to Sevenwaters by Juliet Marillier
4. Last book you loved?  All the Fishes Come Home to Roost by Rachel Manija Brown
5. Last book you hated?  Hrm...if I don't like it, I don't really stick with it long enough to hate it.

3 dos

1.Do you read part of your current book every day? Yes
2. Do you stick to one genre of books or do you jump around? jump around, though mostly mystery an sff + random romances
3. Do you review all the books you read on LJ? Yes

1 If
1. If you were stuck on a desert island and could only take one book with you, which book would you choose?
The Bible.  Forget religious beliefs and preferences, no matter what they are.  Do you realize the sheer number of stories in it?

Swordspoint! I love that book. I like Privilege of the Sword better though. :D

Yay, Elizabeth Peters fan! My favourite villain is Sethos, though. ^^

I love Sethos, but i'm not suer he quite counts as a villain.

Oh what a great meme. I have to try to do this even though some of the questions are going to be tough. :)

Wow, someone else knows the Amelia Peabody series! I've never met anyone besides my mom and grandma who knows about them. They're my favorite comfort books; every single part is fun to read.

Off the top of my head, smillaraaq, issen4 and dangermousie, I think, are all fans. They are just...pure joy.
