Woot! I made FF feature this week :0) I'm so excited! Be sure to drop by Parajunkee to check out her interview questions with me. Thank you Parajunkee & Alison Can Read!
Q: Summer Reading. What was your favorite book that you were REQUIRED to read when you were in school?
Geez, can I remember that far back? LOL.
Well, I remember four that I really liked: The Iliad, To Kill a Mockingbird, And Then There Were None and Great Expectations. Between those four, I think my favorite would have to be And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. I loved the whole setting, the plot, the characters, the mystery and ooh, the creepiness. I read it back in 7th grade and I still remember it... to this day.
So that's it for this week! Let me know if you're a new follower or old. Please be patient with me, I will respond back to everyone :0) And be sure to sign up & participate in #FF!

Hi Alisa! New follower from the PJ hop. Great choices although I haven't read 'And Then There Were None'. We did read some Agatha Christie, but apparently not that one! Kind of wish it had been assigned if it made your top 4 though!
Congrats on being featured!! Old follower =D
I haven't read or heard of And Then There Were None, but I will definitely check it out lol

Congrats on being featured! It seems like they recycle the same great book in every school because I read the exact same ones :D Now following you !!
Hi Alisa - great to connect. Congrats on being featured. Can you believe I've never actually read To Kill a Mockingbird? I know - this is a wrong I shall have to redress as soon as possible. Cheers!
Congrats Alisa!!
Haha, I've only read one out of those- How to Kill a Mockingbird and I hated it ! Haha, a lot of people that read it really like it though so I'm the odd one out I guess. (:
Here is my FF if you wanna check it out

Ah! Great Expectations made my list also! And even though I read The Iliad outside of school, it's definitely one of my favorites. Great choices!

Congrats on being featured! I also really liked TKAM, but Great Expectations was one of those books where I didn't enjoy the reading part, but looking back, I really enjoyed the story.... does that even make sense??
Anyways, here's my FF

I wish if I could remember if I had a reading list or not.

Yay featured blogger! Congrats. Great Expectations was one of my favorite reads my senior year (part of that I am sure had to deal with the movie).
Cracks me up how similar all our high school reads were, geeze they need to update.

Ya it's hard to remember what was Required. I would have been happy if they made us read Agatha Christie, I remember reading some book in 7th grade that I hated...of course I can't remember what it was.
Great expectations was a great read.
Congrats on the feature.

Congrats on being a feature this week! I loved To Kill A Mockingbird.. .can't believe I didn't list it. I liked the movie, too. I didn't really like the Iliad because it was so long, despite taking place in a short amount of time. I preferred The Odyssey over that one. Great choices, though. I haven't read Agatha Christie before, though I know she's a very popular mystery author.

Being a fan of mysteries I think it's only fair that I read Agatha Christie. I'm ashamed to say that I've never read anything yet though! I'll get to it eventually. :)

I'm a new follower. Fat chance that we would ever have got to read Agatha Christie at school. You were so lucky.
I love To Kill a Mockingbird and And Then There Were None, but I didn't read either of them in school. I read them on my own many years after I graduated.
Congrats on being a feature! I haven't read most of those, but I loved To Kill a Mockingbird.

Oh,I loved To Kill a Mockingbird! But if you liked And Then There Were None (and because everyone seems to like it so much) even more I guess I'll have to read that one, too :)

I finally read Great Expectations this year (not sure how I've avoided Dickens for all these years)!.
I'm a new follower and look forward to future posts from you.
