I was tagged by the fun-loving Allison for this a week ago, so here goes:

1. One book that changed your life:
Other than the Bible? My Name is Asher Lev, by Chaim Potok. If you haven’t read it, you ought to!

2. One book that you’ve read more than once:
I’ve read a lot of books more than once! A great deal of children’s literature falls into this category, but I’ll pick just one: The Great Brain by John D. Fitzgerald.

3. One book you’d want on a desert island:
I’m going with the Bible, and not just because it is the Sunday School answer!

4. One book that made you laugh:
A lot of books make me laugh but I remember laughing to the point of tears several times while reading To Hate Like This is to be Happy Forever.

5. One book that made you cry:
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis.

6. One book that you wish had been written:
A How-To Guide to Being a Godly Wife, Mother and Friend by someone extraordinary

7. One book you wish had never been written:
The Scofield Study Bible. (Second Place: The Late Great Planet Earth. Third Place: Left Behind.)
