"What book are you most looking forward to seeing published in 2011? Why are you anticipating that book?"
After pondering this question for quite a while, I think the answer must be Red Glove by Holly Black. I so completely adored White Cat and the crazy world she created that I am giddy at the thought of returning to it. Hurry up April!
What is/was your favorite subject in school?
I know this may be shocking, but... I really liked school. I still miss the excitement of a new semester beginning, and it isn't only because I love buying school supplies. So favorite subject is hard for me! I loved Biology - took 3 different courses in HS but not a single one in college - I had to drop Anatomy because I couldn't stomach dissecting a cat. I really loved PreCal, but to the despair of my teacher I didn't take Calculus because I had enough math credits to graduate and could be a teacher's assistant instead. And I really really loved history - especially AP European History - the teacher for that class is one of my friends on facebook, as is my HS French teacher. I actually didn't love English that much - I had clashes with a couple of English teachers in HS. But, yes. Yay school!
I didn't discuss college and grad school because I was picking subjects so of course they were awesome!
I sometimes torment myself with wondering how I will deal if my kids don't like reading or school. Still not sure, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it!
I still haven't read White Cat, although it's pretty high on my wishlist!
ReplyDeleteI picked City of Fallen Angels for my answer :)
Happy Friday!

I HATED both math and science, but loved English. No surprise, really, since I've always loved to read and write. BTW: I think your enthusiasm for school will help your children immensely. My kids all love to read becuase they see me reading ALL THE TIME :)

I haven't read too much Holly Black, but I hear she's terrific.
ReplyDeleteI put together a list of books I'm looking forward to about a week ago.

I loved Art when I was in high school. I wasn't fond of science at the time, but I think I appreciate it more now.
I LOVED school too, especially for the new supplies. The smell of new paper, the crisp writing with a new pen. Ahh, the glory days.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog on Friday! New follower!
