Day One – Best book you read last year

'The Strain' by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan

It's a vampire story. Real vampires, not the sparkly thingamabobs. Mildly terrifying. May possibly lead to paranoia when it comes to things that go bump in the night. That's not normally my kind of book, but I couldn't put this one (or the sequel) down.

Day One: Best Book You Read Last Year

The bad thing about doing this challenge is that you will all discover the true extent of my nerdiness...

'Power/Knowledge' by Michel Foucault
~ Obviously, its non-fiction and it isn't for everybody, but his ideas gets my brain-juices going, whether I agree with them or not.

Day Two – A book that you’ve read more than 3 times

I've read lots of books more than 3x, so I'm gonna go with my most read in total... which would be Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Since I can't just jump in to the middle of a series, I re-read all of it whenever a new book came out and/or every summer. According to my count, I just finished this for the 13th or 14th time a few weeks ago. *does not have issues* >.>

Day Two: A Book That You’ve Read More Than 3 Times

I too have read many a book way more than 3 times. But I think I've probably read Philip Ridley's 'Kasper In The Glitter' the most.

^ YAY! Someone else has joined in! :D

Day Three: Your Favorite Series

Not a series reader, so I guess the Dexter series wins by default even though I've only read the first half of the first book. The Captain Underpants series the only other series I've ever stuck with...

The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene

Day Four – Favorite book of your favorite series

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Harry gets bitchier & more rebellious, pranks get more intense, a new villain shows up in all pink, the plot thickens... and my favorite purple-haired character makes her first appearance! =D Prisoner of Azkaban is a close second.

Day Four: Favorite Book Of Your Favorite Series

Uh, well, I guess I have to go with 'Darkly Dreaming Dexter'...

Day Two – A book that you’ve read more than 3 times.

Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne

I've re-read many books but this is the one I re-read until the book fell apart.

Day Five – A book that makes you happy

The Bro Code - Barney Stinson with Matt Kuhn

Ohyes. I went there. =D

^ Oh god, I need to get that.

No book or movie has ever made me as upset as DH did. That woman is dead to me. That is all.

Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah

Shopaholic Takes Manhattan

Day Seven: Most Underrated Book

*shrugs* I was looking through my books trying to figure out which one I could use for this answer, but as it turns out, most of the books I thought could be "underrated" have been nominated for major awards, so they aren't critically underrated... I think I will say A Spot Of Bother by Mark Haddon. It lives in the shadow of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-time, but it is a spectacular book in its own right.

Day Five: Book that makes you happy

Day Seven: Most Underrated Book

I can't think any favorites that are really underrated (*cough* since most of my books spawned movie or tv adaptations), but for the sake of adding something, I'll go with a Foxtrot book by Bill Amend. Too long has Foxtrot gone unnoticed & unappreciated by those too lazy to venture past Garfield and Dennis the Menace and that darn Peanuts gang in the Sunday paper! =P

Homer's Odyssey by Gwen Cooper

Day six:Book that makes you sad

Day Eight – Most overrated book

Anything by Nicholas Sparks. *twitch*

Day Eight: Most Overrated Book

At the risk of slaughtered by a significant proportion of the people who have been participating in this forum, my answer is any Harry Potter book.

*will be ignoring Miss Anthope for the next 7 minutes*

day seven: most underrated book

Day Nine – A book you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving

Well, I wouldn't say I *loved* it, but Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief was suprisingly good. One of the munchkins I watched this summer was reading it & wanted to talk about it, so I read it to keep up. It was funny, a lot better than I thought it'd be. =)

Day Nine: A Book You Thought You Wouldn’t Like But Ended Up Loving

I really don't read books that I think I wouldn't like, so I can't think of an answer for this one...

Day Eight: Most overrated book

Cant stand these books!!!

First Love by Ivan Turgenev

Day Ten – Favorite classic book

Old Yeller by Fred Gipson

Day Ten: Favorite Classic Book

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

Day Seven – Most underrated book.

The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien

I'm not sure if this one qualifies as underrated. I tried to find an underrated book in my collection but I don't think any of the ones I have qualified. So I'll go with this one just because amongst my books it is the most underrated (heck, I'd forgotten how much I liked it).

Day Eleven – A book you hated

Pretty much anything I had to read in school when the subject was Brit-Lit. I've successfully managed to forget most of it, but I still feel a fair amount of hatred for The Canterbury Tales. Not a fan of Austen of Shakespeare, either. I'll stick with my modern stuff, thanks.
*waits for Sunshine to start throwing stuff at me* =P

Day Eleven: A Book You Hated

I can't read books that I hate. If I can't get into the first few pages, I won't read it. Even at school, if I hated it, I'd get the gist and then bluff my way through an essay and end up with an A. Further proof that the education system really doesn't tell you anything about anything. So yeah, a book needs to grab my attention very early for me to even read it, so the list of books I hate is very, very ling if you count ever book I never read more than a page of...

Day Two – A book that you’ve read more than 3 times
I have read a lot of books more then three times so I go with

Day Eight – Most overrated book.

@ Dasm LOL even though I do love Jane Austen, I'm not going to throw anything at you because I too share your hatred for both The Canterbury Tales (ugh stupid Canterbury Tales) and Shakespeare. Which brings me to my most overrated book: Romeo and Juliet. When I was forced to read this book I so wanted to set this book on fire. Unfortunately burning school property was grounds for expulsion, so I had to refrain from burning it.

Day Twelve – A book you used to love but don’t anymore

Eragon, I guess. I loved it back in the day, then the POS movie happened and nearly ruined it for me. I'd probably like it if I read it again, but I don't see that happening any time soon. *shrug*

Day Twelve: A Book You Used To Love But Don’t Anymore

I must be super-boring because I don't have an answer for this one either. Like I said, if I don't like it straight away, I can't keep reading it, and if I love it, I love it hard.

^I'm sorry, all I see is I love it hard. ;D

Awesome, that's the start of a new page. =P Might as well make it a real post with...

Day Thirteen – Your favorite writer

Since She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named slaughtered nearly everyone I loved and is now dead to me, I don't really have one... but for the sake of posting something, as I seem to keep doing, I'll go with Chuck Hogan (Prince of Thieves / The Strain & The Fall (with Guillermo del Toro)). I need to read more of his stuff... >.>

Day Thirteen: Your Favorite Writer

The glorious Philip Ridley. His books aimed at the younger audience are still some of my favourite books ever. I like his books for adults, but they are dark in an adult way, whereas his kids books are dark and wonky but oddly representative of a child/young-adult perspective. Well, mine anyway...
