1. I always tend to answer with Harry Potter characters but I have to say Draco Malfoy. But also I feel from non Harry Potter thst Bridget Jones is fairly flawed but in a more realistic manner and I like her.
2. I don‘t like when authors use a lot of filler language just for making the book longer and isn‘t pertinent to the story
3. 11/22/63 by Stephen King or Becoming by a Michelle Obama
#wondrouswednesday

MoonWitch94 I don‘t know that I actually would go so far to say I LIKE Malfoy, but I would totally agree that I had warmer feelings for him by the end. And I did feel sorry for him a bit. I think I tend to use HP characters for these questions because I have read the books so often that I feel most familiar with the characters. 4y

My bingo board is actually looking pretty good. I have until May 31 to finish. I‘m reading the current book right now for a prompt that will give me a bingo. I also have 2 other books in orogrsss going towards this board. Any recommendations for some of the prompts I haven‘t done yet. #bookbingo #readingchallenge #recommendationsplease

MissAimz_55 If it has a box around it it means I‘m done reading it. If it has an arrow it means I‘m currently reading 4y
Geemom1118 The Girl in the Green Raincoat by Laura Lippman is on my TBR list and it would give you Bingo! Great idea by the way. 4y

Yet another 5 ⭐️ read for this year. In terms of reading 2020 has been wonderful with five 5 star reads! This is my first book i finished the weekend for the #socialdistancing reading marathon ! I loved how beautiful and heartwarming this was. I couldn‘t believe how much I fell in love with Ove and the rest of the neighbors . #heartwarming yet #heartbreaking

My reading tastes have changed by doing challenges because it really has broken me out of my bubble and I found new things I like. I learned that I really like family dramas, historical fiction, and graphic novels . I also have recently gotten into audiobooks
I would say anyone who has had a tough life but is still kicking ass inspires me.
More time for reading. More time with my fiancé. Teaching me how to be ok with no plans. #wondrouswednesday

#two4tuesday
1. I am bummed I didn‘t get to the library before they closed here. I think the bigger branch may still be open so if so I‘ll go tomorrow. However I do still have a decent amount of library books as well as my own books. Then I have audio books and ebooks plus libby. So yes
2. Toilet paper, butter, more frozen waffles and rice. Some meat would be nice too but overall we are good.

Catherine_Willoughby Too late to buy more books as panic buying by others in my city is making me spend 50% more on food 🤬 that could other wise cover all utility bills & some books off amazon. Can't get Eggs for two weeks. So badly need 12 eggs just do one fry up for the family 5y

#keeplitsypositive Love making sure my nephew loves books! I don‘t actually know what book my nephew is “reading” here but it was one I brought home from a trip. I bring my niece and nephew at least one book from my trips usually written by a local author and/or illustrator and often about that place. I want them to travel with me through reading! #raisingreaders

#middlegrademarch !! Loved this fairy tale expansion of the Neverland world. This is about Wendy‘s great great grandchildren. A cute and quick read. I really loved that the main character had Aspergers and it showed the struggles he goes through and I really liked how accepted he felt in Neverland. I also loved the adventure that they all experienced. The tie in to mythology was really interesting too.

As someone who lives with a #mentalillness this prompt is really important to me. I have had lots of struggles with my illness and I have to remember that I‘m not “crazy”. I think it‘s so important that there are books out there with main characters that have mental illnesses as that is one of the steps to breaking the stigma. I haven‘t yet read this one but I really must. #booksaboutmentalillness #magnificentmarch

jessinikkip That is one of the things my therapist keeps calling me out on, when I call myself crazy or talk about being "ridiculous". She keeps telling me I cant talk about myself like that because its not ridiculous to have an emotion 5y
OriginalCyn620 Thank you for sharing that. I hope books like this do help break the stigma. I did love this particular one...it made me ugly cry. 😭 5y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thank you for sharing... I stacked this one... my mother suffers from multiple mental illnesses and it‘s been difficult for many years. I also have some depression and anxiety at times. I‘m glad there are more resources, acknowledgment, and treatment than there was years ago... ❤️ 5y
