Book Whisperer Linky Party

Mrs Lyons over at Thinking of Teaching will be hosting a read along with TBA bloggers of Donalyn Miller's book, The Book Whisperer. To assist everyone in getting excited about the read along, Mrs Lyons interviewed Mrs. Miller. You can check them out over at Thinking of Teaching. Then after reading them feel free to answer the questions yourself and join the linky party. Here are my answers....

1) What is your favourite book (or series) from childhood? 

My favorite book from childhood is Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. I love it!

2) What is your favourite book (or series) now? 

My favorite Adult series now would be The Trouble with Tulip  Series By Mindy Starns Clark. It's fast paced, clean and not predictable like a lot of christian friction out there today. My favorite chapter book series for kids would be Shadow Children  series by Margaret Petterson Haddix. It is still one of my most favorite read alouds.

3) What is your opinion of e-readers? 

I own a Kindle.I love it because I can easily carry 46 books with me that's the size of a normal size of 1 paperback. I like how quickly i can download books. Within seconds, a book can be in my hands without ever leaving my home or blogging station :). I enjoy the free books offered. And, now you can "borrow" books which makes me enjoy it even more. But, nothing can take the place of having a book in your hands. 

4) Finish this sentence: "On Sundays I like to..." 

On Sundays, I go to church, eat lunch with friends and attempt to enjoy some free time. I'm a quality time kind of girl so, spending time with my 12th grade Sunday school girls and others makes for great kinds of days.

5) Describe yourself in 5 words! 

Christ-follower. learner. people person.

6) Hardcover or paperback? Why? 

Can I say both or is that cheating? I guess because Mrs Miller did, I will. In the classroom I prefer paperback because they are cheaper and easily fit into backpacks. But, for long books or my favorites that I will read again and again, hardcover is the only way to go.

7) Coffee or Tea? 

Coffee. I actually prefer Diet Coke but, I'm a social coffee drinker and can't stand tea unless I'm sick with a sore throat. 

What are your answers? I'd love to learn more about you!
