sharanWell, I don't normally bother with these but since it is book related, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aerolyndt tagged me so I decided why not.
1. How many books do you own?
Probably more than some libraries. Definitely in the thousands by now. I had to put a lot in storage because we just don't have room in the apartment.
2. The last book you bought?
Well, the last time I went to Barnes and Noble I picked up "Tales From Earthsea
" by Ursula LeGuin, "Oceans of Fire" by Christine Feehan", and a book called "Six Figure Freelancing" since I'm considering that as a way to get through school. I also bought a TON of books at Baycon, and I have an Amazon order due to ship at the beginning of July that includes "Castles Made of Sand" by Gwyneth Jones, "Curse The Dark" by suricattus, and "Every Which Way But Dead" by Kim Harrison. I just wish I'd known about the new Catherine Asaro book or I would have ordered that one while I was at it.
3. Last book you read?
Right now I'm reading "Haunted" by Kelley Armstrong (when I'm not home) and "Broken Angels" by Richard K. Morgan (when I'm home. I try to carry around a paperback in my pocketbook and read hardcovers/trade paperbacks at home). The last book I actually finished was "Dead Witch Walking" by Kim Harrison.
4. Five books that mean a lot to you
* The Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper
* The Narnia series
* "Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas" by Tom Robbins (my favorite book. No one else could write an entire book in the second person and pull it off!)
* The Black Stallion series
* Way too many others to possibly name
5. Tap five readers on the shoulder
Nah, I won't do that to anyone. If you want to, feel free. If you don't, don't bother.
BTW, feel free to ignore the Amazon Associate links above (it's not like I've made a single penny since I started using that a couple of months ago), but if you want to help a student who's about to become unemployed feel free:).

Weird. I have a bunch of his books but I haven't actually gotten around to reading any of them.
BTW, we just got back from a wild goose chase to Anaheim looking for a couple of non-existent Chicago style pizza places. We would up eating at Chilis. But I did get some really nice black fake leather curtains with leopard-print thin curtains for behind them for my bedroom, a black and leopard print toilet seat (yes, really;)) and a nice big soft purple suede pillow.
Also, we did get to meet Ricky the cat last night. He really is a very sweet and friendly cat! He was even sitting in my lap for a while. It's hard to believe he was living under a house with no owner just a week or so ago!
