Five Fall Favorites - Day Five


This is the last day I'm participating in the Five Fall Favorites and I've had a blast! Don't forget, there's a giveaway at another blog's book room PLUS the grand-prize giveaway on Rebekah's blog, so check out the other blogs! And, one more thing... Rebekah put together a FFF Survey -- how did YOU like this party? Fill out the form and get a free eBook short story! (and thank you -- because your feedback will help make future parties even better!)




Today's five favorites are a little challenging. I need to think back over a decade. ;) But we'll see how I can do...

I shouldn't have to think this hard. I really, really shouldn't. After all, I have seven younger siblings and I know I've read them all books since I myself read them. But I still had to rack my brain!

  3. Oh, yes, the Little Jewel books are so good. I remember getting the first set of them when I first began school. I still have them. :)

  4. "The Westing Game" was so cool, but I didn't think so when I was reading it! I had no idea what was going on. Then my mom explained it, and then I thought it was really interesting. :P The second time around was better.

  7. I have seen the movie Alone Yet Not Alone. I didn't even know there was a book! I love I Spy books! And is If You Give a Moose a Muffin similar to If You give a Mouse a Cookie?

  12. @ Faith - it's been a while. Rachel just got a copy so I want to re-read it!

    @ Ashley - you're welcome! Thanks for commenting. :)

    @ Rebekah - you've been a great hostess for the party! I'm so happy to have been a part! :) I've had fun!

    @ CutePolarBear - Haha! Yes, it was so twisty!

    @ Faith P - keep your eye out, Sarah usually rotates her books free for Kindle (if you've not gotten it yet).

    @ Blessings - well, I'm not sure that it's *exactly* western, but it had a western-ish feel. ;)

    @ Abigail - I'm opposite. I've read the book, haven't watched the movie (yet; my sister just got it).

    @ Holly - you're welcome!

    @ Amy - even though it's written for younger ages, I love it still!

    @ Christian - oh yes, the Bronze Bow! I need to re-read it. ;)

    @ Sarah - my family's had so much fun with the I Spy books! We'd have races. ;)

Thank you for stopping by! I pray that you have found something that encourages you today. Thank you for taking the time to give me a little comment - they always brighten my day. :) I usually stop by and reply to as many comments as I can, but sometimes it takes me a week or so. But if you asked a question, be sure to check back!
