Questions from Bookworm8921:

1.  What is the first book you can ever remember reading?  Henny Penny.

2.  Do you re-read books? If so what book have you re-read the most? Watership Down

3.  Have you ever liked a movie based on a book more than the book itself? No

4. How did you decide on what to call your blog? I can be pretty idealistic and impractical, lol.  I love birds, but my husband also calls me magpie sometimes because I am attracted to shiny objects.  And I can talk the ears off my family and some of my friends; my mom and dad both say I talk too fast as well.

5.  How many books are you hoping to read this year? Last year I read about 125 or something like that- I was hoping for 150, but I got off to a bad start.  After reading 11/22/63, I took a major break - not because of the size, but because I was blown away by how good it was.

6.  Do you have plans to write your own book?  I toy with the idea, and sometimes even start writing. I guess I would like to, but don't have a plan. :)

7.  What was the last book that you read? 127 Hours- Between a Rock and a Hard Place.

8.  What is your favorite movie? Oo good question! I love the movie Love Actually.

9.  Who is your favorite actor/actress?  I love Michael Fassbender and Emma Stone.

10.  What tv shows do you enjoy? Castle, New Girl, Glee, Top Chef, Grimm, Once Upon A Time

11.  Do you collect anything other books? Animals? Dust? No, I used to collect fairy figurines but I don't anymore. :(  Maybe I should start again.
