A Tag from my daughter

I have no clue if I did this right....but I waiver between 2 answers....one answer gets me a cat (see below), the other gets me a fish
whatever

You Would Be a Pet Cat

Independent and aloof, you don't like to be dependent on anyone. And as for other people, you can take them or leave them. You often don't care. You live your life by your own rules. And you have deep motivations that no one truly understands. Why you would make a great pet: You're not needy or greedy... unlike other four legged friends. Why you would make a bad pet: You're not exactly running down to greet people at the door What you would love about being a cat: Agility and freedom What you would hate about being a cat: Being treated like a dog by clueless humans

What Kind of Pet Would You Be?

Bookmark or dogear? I dogear....I must confess....it bothers my daughter....but I currently have a postcard I am using as a book mark (Have I mentioned postcrossing.com lately? maybe that needs a blog entry) I like the old bookmarks with the yarn at the top....not the new fancy clip on things that cost as much as the book.

New or used? Used but my kids loose patience with me at the used book stores so I generally end up with new

Buying choice: book reviews, recommendation or browse?All three

Tidy ending or cliffhanger? tidy ending unless it is a series

Morning reading, afternoon reading or nighttime reading? Anytime...there is almost always a book in my car (shoot have to clean that out going to body shop tomorrow) and they often accompany me to all sorts of places

Favorite series? gosh that is tough....I havent really read any series recently except the Nina Oreilly series by perri o shaughnessy. I have received recommendations for 2 series books....the number or counting series from Janet Evanovich and the Burke series by ANdrew Vacchs. I have begun the first in the Burke series and it isnt too bad. As a child I read the Little house series and the boxcar childrens series as often as I could...OH Yeah duh, I read the Harry Potter Series...

Favorite children's book? Shel Silversteins poems, Little house(did you know that the publisher of the extra books...the rose years, caroline years etc....is no longer publishing the complete books only abridged editions?), Boxcar Children, Amelia Bedelia
