Questionaire - Tessa

bibliophile (n) a person who loves (and usually collects) books

• A bibliophile has books on her wish list. What books were under the tree for you this year?

               - Room by Emma Donoghue
               - Cook with Jamie by Jamie Oliver

• A bibliophile has a book on the go. What are you reading lately?

                - Self by Yann Martel (coffee table)
                - A Hail of Arrows... kid's novel (bedside table)
                - Kid Concoctions and Contraptions... to review for school library (computer desk)
                - Cook with Jamie (kitchen counter)
                - Macleans year end issue... not really a book, but reading material none the less  (laundry room)

• A bibliophile can't resist passing books around. What's the last book you loaned out or borrowed?

                  - borrowed from Kate: The Book Theif
                  - loaned to Sherrie: Reading Lolita in Tehran
                  - still mysteriously missing: American Pie... remember that book about eating pie and 
                    travelling around the US.  Anyone have my copy?

• A bibliophile has a "must read" list on the go. What's on your must-read-list for 2011?

              - my youngest brother stayed with us for a week over the holidays and was happily reading
             Dickens (David Copperfield) and he thought that it was time for me to give Dickens another try.   
            So, that my plan: at least 2 Dickens books in 2011. 

• A bibliophile loves to talk about books. Write a short (1-2 paragraphs is fine) review of a recently read book telling us what you liked and/or disliked about it. No PhD in English Lit, required. :-)

              ya. about that.  you're all likely sick of hearing about my books, so I'll let the rest of the book
             club have a go at this one.  Unless I can't resist....
