Friday Challenge

Ok so as it's Friday I thought I would do something different and  have posed a fun challenge for anyone to take part in. It's nothing too taxing- I am just interested to find out about my fellow readers and blog followers and  have composed a few questions for you to answer!

So that it isn't a one sided exercise, I have posted my answers underneath each question to help you get started.

So here goes;


Name....

A book that disappointed you

The Other Hand by Chris Cleave- this book was really hyped up at its release in 2008 but it left me cold.                                    



A book that surprised you

                         

Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier- This book was recommended to me by my Grandmother who is also an avid reader and it is amongst my all time favourites.

A book that frightened you

                          
The Fog by James Herbert. I never finished it because it scared me so much and have been unable to read any more James Herbert since!



A book that shocked you 
 

                                                     
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini - There are some very upsetting scenes in this book but it an excellent read and I recommend it highly.



A book that made you laugh out loud 

 

       
The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 3/4- I read this first as a teenager but have been back to it since as an adult and still love it.



A book you didn't expect to enjoy

             
Star of the sea by Joseph O'Connor (Brother of Singer Sinead!) A surprisingly good read.



The book you have re-read the most

         

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte- This is the first book I fell in love with as a teenager. I have lost count of just how many times I have read it.

Your favourite genre

                                                                  
I like books from all genres but if I had to choose I would say historical fiction.



And finally......

Name a book that will always live on your bookshelf and why
 

                                                                   
  
Eckhart Tolle A New Earth (see my previous blog post)  

                                                                     
I am really looking forward to reading your answers and I hope you all enjoy taking part.

Happy Friday everyone!!
