I just hit that one in the earlier post. If I was recommending a religious book, I like Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton and The Screwtape Letters is my favorite Lewis

He's a Kentucky writer and I've met him twice. This is his first novel and he went on to write two more, a tacit trilogy. I'd love to hear your thoughts when you finish.I've never heard of that one--a new book to grab on to
I try to read broadly, casting a wide net. I try not to pay attention to labels at a bookstore and I am quite adventurous with choosing titles.I just hit that one in the earlier post.

Do you read widely, or do you tend to stick to one or two genres?
However, I avoid certain genres and sub-genres that I know I don't typically enjoy (fantasy, for instance).
Do you like British writers?
I do, and Irish writers even more
How many books are you currently reading? Or do you read more than one at a a time?
Five. I juggle them all the time...not literally, lol.
Do you read more than one at a time?
Do you read more than one at a time?
I only recently started reading more than one book at a time. Think it has something to do with my attention span these days!
Currently halfway through Tabby's Caretakers, on story Ur in BoBD, and just started Loving Amy by Janis Winehouse. Not to mention about three SK rereads I've put on hold! Do you enjoy reading biographies and autobiographies?
Yes, I do. I really liked Capote by Gerald Clarke.
Do you like mystery fiction?
Do you like mystery fiction?
Yes - I've read almost everything by Jeffery Deaver and Ridley Pearson. I like the series with reoccurring characters - they become my friends!

The Stephen King Companion by George Beahm (checked it out from the library). In my defense, I knew it had poor reviews, so didn't intend to read it all (looked at all the pictures though
).Have you ever been to Canada?
Yes, I took a train ride from Saulte Ste. Marie.The Stephen King Companion by George Beahm (checked it out from the library). In my defense, I knew it had poor reviews, so didn't intend to read it all (looked at all the pictures though
Have you ever been to Canada?

Hmmm - that is a tough one
This guy?
Would you invite someone into your house if they advertised "Free Estimates"?

Not unless I had someone with me and research told me the person was licensed and bonded (indicating they really are a professional). Still not without another person (preferably an adult!) with me.Hmmm - that is a tough one

To be honest I prefer short hair on most men - I guess Keith Urban looks okay and most Native Americans with long hair.

Do you ever do home repairs yourself?
Yes, I try to do them.
Have you ever been overcharged for a home repair?

I've knocked a couple of nails in, but that's about it. I am like Red Green - if you can't fix it with duct tape... (actually I really appreciate my current contractor - he does such excellent work!)
Which language do you think is the most difficult to learn and/or pronounce?

No but I think my husband got stiffed a bit when he paid out 25 thou to a guy to build our garage, renovate the upstairs bathroom, etc.
The guy came around looking for more money and we said forget it - the workmanship upstairs was pretty shoddy.
So I guess I will just repeat the other question above, since I can't think of a new one:
Which language do you think is the most difficult to learn and/or pronounce?
To learn: ASL (American sign language)
To pronoune/read/write: any languages that do not use the same alphabet as the learner.
Is English your first language? How many languages do you speak (or have you tried to learn)?

Yes, English is my first language. I heard my Dad speaking French to my grandpa when I was quite young (they were from Quebec) and of course heard Mom's quite strong Scottish accent growing up.
I took a six month French immersion course in Quebec that the military sent me on. Unfortunately I did not get posted to a French base, so lost most of my French, but I did pick it up quite quickly.
How do you get motivated to get cracking on housework on a day when you feel lazy?
I'm a clean freak, so I don't need much motivation...I can't truly relax until the house is immaculate so I get it done so I can sit and read.
Which appliance do you use most often?

It's a three way tie between the stove top, coffee maker and toaster oven
Have you tried taking supplements for better health?
