Day 6: A book that makes you sad

Still a really hard question for me, since reading a good book makes me happy.

I’m going to pull a Kobayashi Maru and say that a book makes me sad when a good idea is poorly written and executed.

Day 5: A book that makes you happy

This was a really hard question for me. Reading a good book makes me happy. Picking out a single book that makes me happy was difficult. And I didn’t quite make it, I picked a trilogy. But I own it in one volume, so it counts, right?

Anne McCaffrey’s Harper Hall Trilogy is one of those books I go to when I need an old friend, and it always makes me smile.

Day 4: Favorite book of your favorite series

Cordelia’s Honor Duology. I’ve read them together so many times they are not separate in my mind.

*SPOILER ALERT*

 

The scene where Cordelia rolls Vordarian’s head across the conference table and tells them all to end the war now is cemented in my mind as one of the all-time great scenes in a book.

What’s yours?
