BLOG TOUR: Advent Tour DEC 9th

Welcome to my little part of the Advent Tour. Christmas holidays seem like the time of the year we are most likely to get out the board games and play games as a family. A chance to try out the new games, like Cranium or Rock Band, or play the old favorites, like Clue, Payday, or Life. Even the cards come out, with rousing games of crib, auction, and hearts. It must be something about family time, and being together for Christmas that makes us turn off the television and play.

In that spirit I have a little guessing game for you. Have you watched any seasonal movies yet this year? Do you have a favorite you bring out at Christmas? There are the old favorites, and then the new modern movies that are quickly becoming classics, at least at out house. I haven't seen all of these, but they are all seasonal in some way. Can you identify the movie the quotes are from. Read them over, make a guess, and then, if you highlight the space at the end of each clue, you can see how well you did.

QUIZ: What's your reading personality?

What's your reading personality? Take the quiz here at bookbrowse.com to find out.

Your responses showed you fitting into two different groups - the exacting reader and the eclectic reader.

The Exacting Eclectic Reader (well, I am a Gemini)

Your responses showed you fitting into two different groups - the exacting reader and the eclectic reader. The expression 'so many books, so little time!' sums up your life.

You love books but you rarely have as much time to read as you'd like - so you're very particular about the books you choose. You read for entertainment but also to expand your mind. You're open to new ideas and new writers, and are not wedded to a particular genre or limited range of authors.


I thought I got pegged pretty good. And I think it is kind of neat that there was no html code to insert, just old fashioned copy and paste of the results. I had to go look for a picture I thought might match this meme and couldn't find much. I decided to have some fun with some classic Canadian comedy.

Do you recognize everyone here?

QUIZ: What book are you?

You're Ender's Game!
by Orson Scott Card
To you, most everything is a game. It's summertime, and the living's
easy. Even when there's a war on, it's just a game to you. But even though you've
historically been able to meet every challenge, there are some doubts about what lies
ahead. Are you sure you're up to the next test? Don't forget to pay attention to your
siblings.


Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.

I guess I really need to read this book. It's been at the back of my conscience, as a book I'd like to get to. It is on the top 50_books list of reads, one of my unofficial challenges. I thought that challenge was a long term project, but I think I'll manage everything this year except for LoTR, which I have no intention of reading anytime soon. I tried The Hobbit a few times at my Dad''s insistence, but couldn't get into it. (I haven't even seen the movies! gasp)

QUIZ: How Canadian are You?

I meant to post this yesterday! I was too busy going to a Canada Day party. Yeah, that's the reason.
