  There are lots that I think would be beneficial – bringing back handicrafts like knitting and crocheting (though I know they’re gaining popularity); learning to cook nutritious, healthy food; gardening and growing food. All would be great and edifying. But honestly? My first thought when I saw this was: common sense. I know, I READ MORE

  I don’t have a single proper example for this – I have a lot of very vivid memories from my childhood, but they are completely random. I don’t remember any major misunderstandings that I was then shocked to find out the truth about. But I do suspect that I tended to misunderstand a lot. READ MORE

  This is a really interesting question. It’s hard, because I don’t think there have been that many in the books I’ve re-read in the past few years, mostly I have the same view on the characters as I always have. I think the only shift I have noticed is which characters I identify with. READ MORE

  This is not a very difficult prompt, because I have read some books in the past few years that hit my tear glands hard. Three of them are non-fiction, but there’s one lone novel in the mix as well:                 I feel like most of you have READ MORE

  I’m not a huge art gallery and museum person, so most of the ones I’ve visited I’ve either been dragged to by my parents or I’ve visited because of a particular artist, or I like the building. The best building I’ve been to is the British Museum – I love the curved glass roof READ MORE

  How do I feel about staycations? I freaking love them. I hate packing. I have never loved traveling since becoming an adult and no longer being able to curl myself into an airplane chair. Now I have a back injury, anxiety and allergic asthma that is triggered by everything from strong cologne and perfume READ MORE

  This is an interesting one. Normally I think about which shows I would like to watch again, but rarely do I think about which I wouldn’t. So this one has taken some thought and I’ve only come up with one so far.   The Walking Dead. I enjoyed the characters in this, I was READ MORE

  Oh man. This is such an interesting prompt, but also a bit of a difficult one. My memory isn’t that great, particularly for books I read a while ago. I don’t remember that many books I’ve read with villains at all, let alone ones I’d root for. I do tend to enjoy books that READ MORE

  I feel like we had this one before, and I didn’t have a very good answer then either. I want to say all of them? I didn’t always get the words right (this was before we had the internet where we could google song lyrics), and even when I did get the words, I READ MORE

  Well, as confusing as it may seem, I’m going to have to say both. I always thought of myself as an introvert, but I then had a phase where I was going out all the time, had a bunch of different groups of friends I hung out with and was generally pretty good at READ MORE

  Life is so full of small moments, some that you barely register at the time, others that you know are momentous as they happen. One that I keep wishing I could go back to was the last time my baby fell asleep on my shoulder. The warm breath on my neck, the weight of READ MORE

  Hahahahahaha…. oh, you’re not joking? Well, this is literally impossible for me to answer. I have so many books on my physical and virtual TBR that I could not possibly tell you which have been there the longest. There are a lot of classics I have kicking around that I haven’t yet read – READ MORE

  I have been thinking on this one for quite some time, and all the stories I’ve come up with are either inappropriate, would embarrass said family/friends, or aren’t that exciting. So the only thing I can think of is a story about a trip I went on when I was a kid. My mother READ MORE

  There are so, so many. Life is full of horrible things, unpleasant things, and unfair things. So I can’t really narrow this one down other than to say that I wish everyone had access to safety and what they need to survive and live good lives, I wish justice was always served (and included READ MORE

  I don’t have a lot of these, because I enjoy reading a lot of memoirs and non-fiction and books that are kind of their own thing. I’m sure there are tropes in them, but that’s never really what I notice these days (I noticed it more when I was reading mostly YA books, as READ MORE

  I read a fair amount of non-fiction – I enjoy learning about social issues, people, experiences different from my own. I like reading about nature, books, social issues, racism, physical and mental illness and memoirs of people I find intriguing. So my recent non-fiction reads are a bit of a mishmash, as usual!   READ MORE

  The obvious answer is, like, stupidly obvious. We are all here because we’re readers, right? So isn’t that the number one thing to do in any situation where there’s time to kill? I don’t tend to carry books around with me these days, but I have several ebook apps on my phone with access READ MORE

  I love animals. So if I had a huge amount of space and zero allergies, I’d basically just have an animal sanctuary. One thing is that I don’t like the idea of taking a perfectly healthy and capable wild animal out of their natural habitat just so I can have them as my pet. READ MORE
