Oh, the 10th century? Where would you go?
I can't think what was happening in the 900s.

Your favorite holiday is "Crusing". What is that?

I can't wait to see your book choices for some of your answers. :0)

I saw your author's name on some of the books I looked at today. What do you recommend if I want to read a book by him/her?

I loved playing badminton when I was in high school. You have to be very quick but my teacher said I had slow feet. I named my first daughter after my doubles partner.

I'm also interested in why you chose the 10th century.

The Survey dictates that you find a book for each book as per the following criteria:


1. What is your name? (First, Last, Middle, Nickname) – Read a book that contains one of your names in some way – author, title, character.

2. What is your favourite sport? – Read a book that is either about your favourite sport or one of the characters plays that sport. You could also chose a book where the cover shows that sport.

4. Have you ever had a broken bone? – If yes, read a book with the word “Bone” in the title. If no, read a book about archeology (the character may be an archeologist, the book may be set in a museum, etc)

5. What is your favourite movie? – If the movie is an adaptation, read the book that inspired the movie. Or, read a book that is written by the same author. Or, read a book that has the same title. If the movie is not an adaptation, read a book with a similar theme or has the same title.

6. What is your favourite book? – Read it again. Or, read a book that has the same title. Or read a book by the same author. If you can’t find the same title, or the author only has the one book, go to the book page and click on “Readers Also Enjoyed”. Select a book from the list.

7. Pick a number between 1 and 10. – Select a series and read the book that corresponds to that number. Or, read a book with the number in the title.

8. What is your favourite holiday? – Read a book that is about that holiday, set during that holiday, or has the name in the title.

11. What is your birthday month? – Read a book with the selected month in the title, or set during that month.

23. Do you prefer a shower or bath? – Read a book with your selected word in the title, or depicted on the cover.

31. If you could meet anyone famous, infamous, notorious… who would it be? – read a biography, autobiography, memoir, or historical fiction about that person. Or, read a book that is representative of that person.

36. If you had to lose one of the 5 senses, which would you prefer it to be? – Read a book with that word in the title, or read a book where a character is afflicted by that same loss.

37. Who is your favourite author? – Read either a book by that author, or a book recommended by that author.

41. Issue you are passionate about (abortion, euthanasia, animal rights… etc) – Read a book where this issue is prominent or is represented in some way. It may be fiction or non-fiction.

48. Who is someone you miss? – Read a book that represents that person in some way. I miss my mother, so I could read a book with “Mother” in the title, a biography of Mother Theresa, where the main character is a mother, a book with a mother holding her baby on the cover, etc.

49. What is your hobby? – Read a book that represents that hobby in some way.

I chose the 10th century because one of my favorite historical story takes place during that time. It was the time when Raja raja Cholan ruled and he constructed many temples which are great architectural marvels. I would like to see them in their construction phase.
