Making Up for Monday: Non-Reading Hobbies

It's time for Making Up For Monday! This is a weekly meme hosted by me that asks some fun literary questions. Feel free to play along!

This week's question: What is your favorite hobby (outside of reading)?

It used to be scrap-booking, but it's been years since I have done that.  I do want to start that up again because of my daughter. She's so photogenic that it should be easy to fill a book! 

I am also a writer.  I currently have 5 different projects in the works.  I am hoping to complete one by the end of the year.  Fingers crossed!!!!

Making Up For Monday: Not So Heroic

This week's question: Who is your least favorite hero-esque character and why?  

I know it's an unpopular choice, but I have got to say Harry Potter. I thought Harry was obnoxious, whiny, and super stuck up. I felt like he treated so many kids exactly like Draco. He drove me crazy as a "hero" and I found myself completely unattached to his character by the end of the series. Seriously, if Harry had died at the end, I don't think it would have even phased me.  I can see why so many love Harry and that's okay with me, I just wasn't a big fan. 

What about you?  What "hero" is not your favorite?

Making Up For Mondays: Villians

This week's question: Who is your favorite villian-esque character and why?

Confession time: I LOVE villains!  Their characters, to me, are far more interesting than heroes, especially if they are done right. I could literally talk about great villains for hours. But as far as my favorite...I guess I would pick Mr. Hyde.  How much more complex can a bad guy get???

Making Up For Monday: Summer Love

It's time for Making Up For Monday! This is a weekly meme hosted by me that asks some fun literary questions. Feel free to play along!

This week's question: What is your favorite summer time read?

In the summer, I love to take a week or two and just relax and read something light and entertaining. I don't have a particular book that I like to read, but I do like most of Sophie Kinsella's books.  They are what I often refer to as my "guilty pleasure reads".  They usually involve a young girl and a romantic interest. Kinsella is an excellent writer who keeps me interested in the story, even though I don't typically like "chick lit".

Making Up For Monday: Library Love

It's time for Making Up For Monday! This is a weekly meme hosted by me that asks some fun literary questions. Feel free to play along!

This week's question: Do you have a favorite library? If yes, which one and why?

Yes!  My favorite library of all time is the library in Tigard, OR!  Why?  Because my husband and I used to go to that library all the time when we didn't have a car.  There is a little donut shop right outside and the library is two levels.  The library also has a ton of activities for free for both kids and adults. The staff was always friendly and resourceful and the contents of the library were always up to date.
