Rats! I've been tagged! I was so proud of myself for avoiding it, too. Anyway, here are my answers to the questions from tn3jcarter.
Q. Most books I've ever owned.
Too many! I own just about every single book there is on riding and horses, both fiction/non-fiction. If you include all my music books, my writing books, my "just for fun" books... WOW! I hope we don't move any time soon, because books equal about 1/2 of my posessions!
Q. The last book I bought.
Hmmm... I think it was "Progressive Medicine in the Equine Species," a big huge vet-school textbook about equine treatment. (Yes, I really did read it). The only problem is that it's from the 1980s, so most of that progressive medicine is LONG outdated.
Q. The last book I read.
This is a difficult question, since I can always read up to ten books at one time. In an extremely literal sense, the last book I put down before I went to sleep last night was "Horses, Hoofbeats, and Halos," the story of the RTCA (race track chaplaincy of america). I'm writing about them right now, so doing a lot of research. Other books I'm reading include "Muddy Shoes" (another RTCA book), Saratoga Days by Sean Clancy (really good "horse" writer!) a fictional book by Lauraine Snelling (she's so-so as a writer - not one of my top favs), and a book by James Scott Bell (talk about a GOOD WRITER!) I love Bell's work - it always keeps me in suspense! reading The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Down by Neta Jkson right now. Before that it was Captivating and before at was The Debt by Angela Hunt.
Q. The five books that meant the most to me.
First, the bible. (Is that an obvious answer or what?) I find so much comfort and peace in reading God's word, as well as direction for my life. The Purpose Driven Life is a great book if you apply it to your life instead of trying to conform your life to it! Visioneering by Andy Stanley is AWESOME! As a writer, I would have to say that The First Five Pages really helped me. And a book that REALLY means a lot to me is my Mom's book, "The Gift of Family Writing." She's a great author and she really has a freeing message for homeschoolers trying to teach their kids to write/draw. |
