Rachel tagged me for "The Book Lover Tag" and it looks super fun! So here we go:
Rules:
Hmm, any guesses? They're about the same as every single other tag...Answer questions, have fun, tag other bloggers. Got it. :D
To the questions, then!
1. If you could rewrite the ending to any book, what would it be?
I think I'm gonna have to go with Mansfield Park. Guys. That ending was so...anticlimactic. I can't exactly blame dear Jane, (("Oh who could blame poor Jane?" "She did her best!" "She did!" "She did her best!")) ((Probably misquoting but brownie points to anyone who gets my reference.)) As I was saying, I don't exactly blame Jane Austen, she was probably feeling sooo done with the book after 300+ pages of dragging things out. I mean, a teensy bit more than a paragraph and a half about the conclusion to Fanny and Edmund would have been nice, but...who could blame poor Jane?
2. Which fictional character are you most like?
I think I've tried to answer a question like this before. Perhaps I can save myself some trouble...Ah, yes. The first tag in *this post*.
I would also add Molly Gibson to that list. I think we have similar personalities, and we both are good at understanding people. We're both quiet and are afraid to call attention to ourselves. Also, I think Roger is very much the kind of person I might fall in love with in real life. Mr. Darcy is a nice fictional hero and all, but in real life, I don't know. Roger, though--But I digress. On to the post.
3. Do you have any signed books?
I do, actually. Two. One is a "Main Street" (I think) book by Ann M. Martin, signed by her. The other is the sequel to Holes, Small Steps or something? Signed by Louis Sachar. I'm not particularly attached to either of them, if anyone wants them, let me know and if enough people want them I'll do a giveaway or something. Haha.
4. What's the best book you've read so far this year?
5. Do you have any bookish pet peeves?
Yes, when people attribute movie quotes that weren't in the book to the authour of the book.
*coughcough*
*coughcough*
6. Out of the books you've read this year, what has had your favourite cover?
Oh boy, I don't know. I'm gonna cheat. I read The Inheritance, but not with this cover, but I like this cover.
(By the way, if you haven't read this book, you should. It's the earliest work of Louisa May Alcott's that scholars have found. They found it in archives in a library somewhere, with the preface something like "My first novel, written at the age of seventeen". It's super good.)
7. Is there a book that releases this year that you cannot wait to read?
*whispers* All my favourite authours are dead.
No, not really.
8. What is your favourite non-fiction book?
Hmm, The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom.
If you want to cry through an entire book, this is the one for you.
9. Do you have any favourite location and/or time period to have a book set in?
Y'all ready for my first L. M. Montgomery answer? (Shocking I haven't mentioned her yet, isn't it?)
Edwardian Canada, Prince Edward Island specifically.
10. Is there a book that reminds you of something else?
Sometimes when I'm reading a book it reminds me of people I know, or places I've been. Sometimes I'll remember things I thought I'd forgotten, and feel things I know I've felt before.
Can't really think of examples, though.
This was super fun, thanks so much for tagging me, Rachel!!!
And as a bonus I'll put the questions in a list here if that makes it easier.

Now, I tag:
(Ain't linking to y'all's blogs; too much work. Don't worry, I'll have the courtesy to go to your blog and tell you I've tagged you. (And I just realized after I told you all it's "The Book Lovers Tag" and there is no "s" after Lover. Forgive me.))
(Siiigh, I'll link anyway. I can't leave it like that. H'm.)
And of course anyone else who wants to do it!! Feel free to take this tag and say I tagged you if you'd like!
Hope y'all are all having a wonderful week so far...oh yes, it's Monday. Okay, well.
Anyone else doing NaNoWriMo? I'm doing it for the first time this year, which is exciting! My goal is a full 50,000 words, so, um, here's hoping I make it. As in survive.
Have a lovely week!!!
