Anything open, airy, and cushioned would be OK by me. <br /><br />I'm also SO glad to see your praise for Sarah Waters. I have several of her books but I'm missing Night Watch and Fingersmith. I'm certain I'll add both to my collection sooner than later. Love her!

I especially love the last two (I think I need to stack my books like that by the chair as a little 'side table'. :)<br /><br />I'd like to write the beautiful stories as Jhumpa does, too. She's such a gorgeous writer.<br /><br />Absolutely concur on the new Smitten Kitchen cookbook. (Is it too late to change my post? :)<br /><br />Thanks for playing with me! 34Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-51974717364720621682012-11-16T08:57:07.332-05:002012-11-16T08:57:07.332-05:00Fun memes!

If you could write any sort of book, what would you write?<br /><br />Basic grammar and sentence structure<br /><br />3. Describe your ideal home library/study.<br /><br />The home: single level with basement, laundry room on main floor <br /><br />The library: walls lined with bookcases and firm-back reclining chair<br /><br /> 4. Name two new authors whose work you think will last the test of time , and explain your choices.<br /><br />Robert Dugoni because his book was unputdownable and kept me reading nonstop<br /><br />Paul Grossman for the same reason<br /><br />5. Which books do you hope to get for Christmas?<br /><br />SWEET TOOTH by Ian McEwan<br /><br />CLOUD ATLAS by Mitchell<br /><br />6. What's the last book you did not finish and why?<br /><br /> THE MALICE OF FORTUNE because it was boring and difficult to read<br /><br />7. Would you accept 20 books that were absolutely perfect for you and dependably brilliant reads, if they were also the last 20 books you could ever acquire?<br /><br />ABSOLUTELY NOT!techeditorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01713987832589573174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-73149035418188707732012-11-14T09:48:05.574-05:002012-11-14T09:48:05.574-05:00I like literary prizes because I love lists :) Exp...I like literary prizes because I love lists :) Exploring the long or short list of winning authors is fun and I always discover something new.
