The Bookshelf Meme

I was tagged by Thao. So here goes. Sorry it took quite a while, I really had to think on this one.. hehe. Peaches also tagged me.

1. Tag 3-5 people, so the fun keeps going!
2. Leave a comment at the original post at A Striped Armchair, so that Eva can collect everyone’s answers.
3. If you leave a comment and link back to Eva as the meme’s creator, she will enter you in a book giveaway contest! She has a whole shelf devoted to giveaway books that you’ll be able to choose from, or a bookmooch point if you prefer.
4. Remember that this is all about enjoying books as physical objects, so feel free to describe the exact book you’re talking about, down to that warping from being dropped in the bath water…

The book that’s been on your shelves the longest

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. I’ve had this one since the second grade? I’d actually gotten this one for my little brother. They had read it in class and he liked it soo much I got it for him. I tried reading it myself but I didn’t like it. It wasn’t until the third grade, after I’d condemned the book and begged my teacher not to read it to us, that I fell in love with the series. hehe

A book that reminds you of something specific in your life

Love, From Your Friend Hannah by Mindy Warshaw Skolsky. I got this book back in the fourth grade? And I believe it was mainly because my best friend’s name was Hannah. It turned out to be a really good nook and I loved the format. It was written in a series of letters shared between Hannah and her many pen pals.

A book you acquired in some interesting way

The Season by Sarah MacLean. I entered the contest over at Presenting Leonore for it but I didn't win. Then another post came up announcing a new winner. Sarah had decided to personally mail the first winner a copy of The Season. This allowed for Leonore to pick another winner, and it was ME. I was super excited cause, well, who would have ever thought.

The most recent addition to your shelves

Hot Girl by Dream Jordan. I got this one from YA Books Central for submitting 15 book reviews. Yay me.

A book that’s been with you to the most places

I really don’t know. I take a book with me like every trip we go on, because I hardly ever sleep during those long rides. I can’t think of one that I’ve started over and over again, never finished, but am still determined to read one of these days. But like I took Breaking Dawn with me everywhere when I fist got it till I finished it, which was like 2months if that counts.

A bonus book(s) that you want to talk about but doesn’t fit into the other questions

Oh. My. Gods. by Tera Lynn Childs, and Revenge of the Homecoming Queen and Twisted Sisters by Stephanie Hale. I think these were the very first books I got through an online contest. It was at Tera Lynn Childs' blog during her Oplympic Contest thingy. I was super excited and went around telling everyone at home. They probably thought I was crazy. hehe But I didn't care, I'd just gotten THREE new books.

Now on to the tagging. Have fun with this!
