Get to Know Us...Sara

A book club is not just about books, it's also about its members.  Over our 10 year history, the Lit Chicks have been fortunate to count many awesome NoVA women on its roster. We're starting a feature here on the Lit Chicks Blog called, "Get to Know Us" where you can get to know the current members of the NoVA Lit Chicks.  

The first member we are highlighting is Sara.  Sara has been with the club for 7 years and has a rep of being one of our toughest book critics.   We asked our members 10 book related questions, here are the responses from Sara:

1. What book are you currently reading? - This month's book :)  ["Glitter and Glue"]
   
2. Most memorable book from childhood? - "The Seventh Princess" 
3. What are you favorite genres to read? - Contemporary fiction, historical fiction, and decent Young Adult.
4. How do you read (i.e. library vs. purchase, electronic vs. physical book, audio)? - As long as it ISN'T an audio book I'm not picky.
5. Where is your favorite place to read? - The beach, although I can read just about anywhere!
6. What book character would you most like to have dinner with? - No idea.  For awhile I would have said Jonas from "The Giver" just so I know what happened, but now that we have the 4th book it isn't necessary.
7. What do you read for guilty pleasure? - Chick lit
8. Favorite thing to drink while reading? - Wine! But that's my favorite thing to drink regardless of the activity.  Maybe tea if it's winter.
9. Favorite author? - Don't have one.  There are some authors who have more than one book that I've liked, but in general authors don't tend to impress me long term.  After a good book or two things tend to go downhill.
10. Favorite book club read? - I think it would be cheating to pick one of my books ("Those Who Save Us", "Jesus Land").  It also probably doesn't count if I had already read and loved the book before it became a book club selection ("Moloka'i", "Middlesex", "House of Spirits").  In that case I'll go with "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" or "Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir"
