Favorite Author? As of this very moment it's Patricia Cornwell, I'm on Body of Evidence (after reading Post Mortem - review later) and am glued to it. Normally, it's Jean M. Auel, or J.R.R. Tolkien.
Best Movie made from a book? By far Lord of the Rings. Well done and even though a lot was missing, moved, or entered into the movie when it wasn't in the book, they kept true to the main story line as best they could. And the casting could not have been better. Usually, I find at least one character that I really don't feel fits the bill, but not in that movie.
Besides your favorite author...who would you like to meet in person? (Living or Dead) Aragorn of Arathorn (the character, not just Viggo Mortensen the actor). I know, he's not real, but you didn't say I couldn't meet imaginary characters!LOL! His character was the most intriguing of them all.
Best Title of a book: Can't say, I'm horrible at titles. I've written so many short stories yet my titles absolutely suck!LOL!
Book you are wanting to read but have not gotten yet? Harry Potter 7. I haven't preordered yet as dh wants me to wait. I'm absolutely in panic about it!LOL!
Book you thought would be great, but was NOT? Anything by Orsen Wells - 1984, Animal Farm, both sucked beyond anything I've ever read before. It was almost as if the author felt such a contempt and hatred towards mankind that he felt it would make a good book, or in his case, all of his books. Yet he's considered among the 'classics', go figure.

Favorite Author? I dont think I have a favorite, but I love reading books by Jennifer Weiner because they are so light and easy reads, but I love Phillipa Gregory. I just appreciate good writing
Best Movie made from a book? I dont know if it is the best movie, but In Her Shoes stuck to the story
Besides your favorite author...who would you like to meet in person? (Living or Dead) Any of the writers of memoirs I have read--I love reading about someones real life
Best Title of a book: The book wasnt great but I liked the title Good In Bed
Book you are wanting to read but have not gotten yet? The Friday Night Knitting Club
Book you thought would be great, but was NOT? Best Friends---the back cover looked so promising but it really sucked
