I saw this on Anna’s Book Blog and thought it would be fun to participate in. It’s pretty similiar to the one that Casee did not too long ago but anyway, here are my answers:
1) Which book has been on your shelves the longest?
Something Wonderful by Judith McNaught.
2) What is your current read, your last read and the book you’ll read next?
Current: Blue Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas
Last: The Boyfriend Game by Stephie Davis
Next: Temptation Ridge by Robyn Carr
3) What book did everyone like and you hated?
Does A Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux count? I know a lot of people that loved it but I also know a lot of people that hated it. I’m thinking that counts.
4) Which book do you keep telling yourself you’ll read?
Broken Wing by Judith James. (I know, I know, Kristie, I promise one of these days I’m gonna pick this up and read it, I promise!)
5) Which book coming out in 2009 is top priority to read?
Both of the books that I was looking most forward to in ’09 have come out already (Instant Attraction by JS and Practice Makes Perfect by JJ) so now, hmmm…I’ll say Paradise Valley by Robyn Carr. YAY Rick’s book!
6) Last page: read it first or wait ’til the end?
I wait to read it. I’ll read any spoiler I come across in reviews (for the most part) but when I start a book, I start at the beginning and wait to read the end.
7) Acknowledgements: waste of ink and paper or interesting ?
I didn’t read these things for the longest time but then I read a post on Seneca’s blog where she talks about the Dedications so now I read both the Acknowledgements and the Dedications on every book that I read, they’re so cute.
8) Which book character would you switch places with?
Hmmm, Alyssa Locke from the Troubleshooters series by Suz Brockmann.
9) Which Authors do you want to read that you haven’t yet?
Hmmm, Lori Wilde, Cristie Ridgeway and Kristin Hannah. There are others but those are the only ones that I can think of right now.

The Boo Radley one.

Once and Always by Judith McNaught, I took that book with me through 3 states.
12) Any “required reading” you hated in high school that wasn’t so bad ten years later?
The Boo Radley one.
13) Stephen King or Anne Rice?
How about Sherrilyn Kenyon?
14) Used or brand new?
I’ll take them both. I’m not too picky about books, I don’t discriminate. I celebrate all books.

The Notebook.

To Kill A Mockingbird is one of my favorite books. Talking about it makes me want to read it again soon. The movie version is rare in that it’s as good as the book, I think.
Judith McNaught was one of the first (if not the first) romance authors I read. Double Standards holds a special place in my heart because it got me into contemporary romances.
Diana
I’ll play 🙂

Parallel Attraction by Deidre Knight. It’s not the one that has been there there there longest, but it has been there the longest when it comes to when I bought it as a new release. Does that make sense?

Current: Lady be Good by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. And Loyalty in Dead by J. D. Robb

Too many. Twilight (ok, I didn’t hate it, but it was sooo boring. I had to force myself to finish it)
Broken Wing by Judith James. I gave it a C- but I regret that, it should have been marked a D.
Wicked Burn by Beth Kery.

I definitely agree with you on Troubleshooters and Sherrilyn Kenyon. I too can’t wait to hear your review for Blue Eyed Devil. I just finished it and am still shaking… Like your question #8, I’d like to switch places with Haven and wrap myself around some overgrown Texas MALE. Damn Lisa Kleypas can write some nice heros. 😉
The book actually reminded me (a little) of These is my words by Nancy Turner. Just the whole 1st marriage/2nd marriage thing. Its an old west book written like a diary, but definitely worth checking out.
