You and Your Books
1. Which books never grow old for you? Most any of them written by my favorite author, Lori Wick. I wish she were still writing and publishing books.
2. We will make a movie from your favorite novel. Which actors would fit the parts well? My favorite novel is "Pretense" by Lori Wick and I really have no idea who I'd want to play the 2 main characters.
3. Do you find yourself daydreaming and thinking about the books you read? Yes, sometimes.
4. When you get ready to sit down and read is there a ritual to it? Do you assemble a drink or snacks? How do you make yourself comfy? I really have no set ritual. It's just whenever I have the time and inclination, I'll pick up and read. Of course, now after answering these questions, I think it's about time for me to read "Pretense" again.
Not recently, but I used to love 'casting characters' from the books I read. Then I'd get all perturbed if I happened to watch a made-for-tv show and the protaganist(s) were nothing like I imagined them.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably be the same. If I love the book, then I don't want anyone to change the characters from what I imagined them as I was reading it.
DeleteI mostly ready books on history. I enjoy envisioning what it must have been like living during challenging times and how I would react. History is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI think we all envision our characters in books differently, perhaps based on people we know or just how we imagine them to be. Yes, so often movies made from books are disappointing because we had totally different ideas about the characters...or even the movie writers take too many liberties in how they interpret the story to make it more movie-friendly. Very seldom do they get it right. I need to look up Lori Wick and "Pretense" now. I don't believe I've ever read it, but then again, I can't remember what I read yesterday...LOL.
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with Lori Wick so will look for her books!
ReplyDeleteI like series books. I don't think I have read any Lori Wick books.
ReplyDeleteShe has several series. She stopped writing several years ago.
