The top four books in your TBR pile

10) Now here’s my question for our readers. If you were stranded on a deserted island, and could only take three books, what would they be?

This week, we’ve tagged ourselves this meme…

1) 4 movies you would watch over and over

I don’t usually watch movies over and over. The only one that comes to mind is CHEVY CHASE’S CHRISTAMS VACATION because it’s a family tradition to watch it every Christmas. And as long as I’m confessing, I don’t reread books very often, although I will reread memorable scenes.

2) 4 TV shows you love to watch

Charmed (I hardly ever get to watch it!)
Law and Order SVU
Two and A Half Men
Lifetime Movies

My bonus answer—favorite rerun is BEWITCHED!

3) 4 places you have been on vacation:

San Clemente CA
Las Vegas, Nevada
New York City, New York
Santa Barbara, CA

4) 4 Websites you visit daily:

I’m going to try to pick four that the other ladies won’t pick.

5) 4 of your favorite foods:

Chocolate
Lobster
Summer Melons
Cashew Chicken

Did I mention chocolate? And hey, is coffee a food? No?

6) 4 places you would rather be right now:

Dinner at a restaurant overlooking the beach
Santa Barbara
Hanging with friends (I don’t get to do that enough!)
Out back by my new pool!

7) Last 4 books you’ve read

DARK LOVER by JR Ward
DANCE WITH THE DEVIL with Sherrilyn Kenyon
IN THE GROOVE Pamela Britton
GRAVE INTENT Deborah LeBlanc

The top four books in your TBR pile

I read randomly unless I’m doing research. The only book I have planned to read next is RETRIBUTION by Jilliane Hoffman. After that, I’m not sure. I will pick through my pile of books and decide then!

9) Four favorite authors (other than Murder She Writes Authors)

There’s no way I can name my four top favorites. So I’m just going throw out some names of author that I don’t personally know, and who pop into my head:

JD Robb
JR Ward
Dean Koontz
Linda Howard

I could go on and on! I hate these questions because I love so many authors and books. It’s just so hard to choose.

10) My question for all of you is: Where is your favorite place to read?
