Friday confession: I had nothin' for today. Not one thing. My creative juices were so dry that I couldn't even conjure up ideas with help. (Really makes you want to keep reading, doesn't it?) But then I remembered I hadn't done a fun Friday quiz for a while, so I found one. I needed some lightheartedness in my day. The Blended Blog came to the rescue with some ideas for me, so I pass along my quiz answers to you!
1. Books you have read multiple times. When it comes to rereading an entire book, I'm more likely to do that with fiction than nonfiction. In the land of nonfiction, I tend to just thumb back through looking for particular quotes I loved and underlined. But in fiction, I have often reread the Love Comes Softly series by Janette Oke, Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, and some of the Little House on the Prairie books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Apparently, although I dearly enjoy the conveniences of this era, I enjoy visiting the late 1800s and early 1900s.
2. Favorite book/author of all time. I can't possibly answer that. It's like asking a mother to choose her favorite child! There are just too many that I love too much.
3. Favorite TV show to binge. Right now we seem to be on a Family Feud binge. (That has probably never been the answer to this question! LOL!) Though it does happen, it's not a common occurrence for us to sit down and specifically watch hours and hours of TV at one time. We do, however, like to have TV on in the background while we work, and this has been our show of choice lately. Let the record show, we are both outstanding players, but I'm confident if I tried to play it in real life, I would 100% crash and burn under pressure.
4. Favorite new-ish TV show. We really haven't had a lot of time to find and watch new (or old) shows lately, but we did hop on the New Amsterdam bandwagon this year. Sometimes (in all our hospital visits) I forget that the doctors on that show and on The Good Doctor are not actually on staff and providing care for anyone we know. Sometimes I really wish they were.
5. Favorite movie of all time. I have long said that Where the Heart Is is my favorite movie, and I think it still is. I'm really not much of a movie watcher (Hallmark Christmas lineup excluded) so I don't know if I have any others I particularly love more.
6. Movie you are looking forward to watching. None. I don't even know what's out or has come out or is coming out. I think the last movie I got excited about was the live version of Beauty and the Beast.
7. First concert you attended. I can't remember for absolute sure, but I am kinda thinking it was a Gaither Vocal Band concert. Sounds about right. My college years (when I started attending them) coincided with my massive crush on Mark Lowry, so it makes sense that the GVB headlined my concert-going life.
8. Ultimate concert (even if it can't happen). Oh it happened. David Phelps, and I got to introduce him. Bucket list....CHECK.
9. Favorite music/artist/band. Well aside from the obvious of David Phelps, I have to say I don't really have a favorite anymore. I tend to latch onto songs over artists, so whatever song I need or want is my favorite, and whoever I can find that sings it the best is my favorite singer. (Now there are a few artists I can't handle and will turn the radio off whenever I hear them, but as far as faves, I don't think I have any.)
10. How do you listen? (Streaming/CD's/Vinyl). Usually YouTube, actually. Because I'm always after a specific song, I hunt for it there and listen/watch/sing along/cry.
So that's my list! How about you? And while we're asking questions...how are you at Family Feud??

My mom loves New Amsterdam!
I can read the Harry Potter series anytime!
I haven't watched Family Feud since I was a child. I daresay I would be better now than I would have been as a child (when I used to imagine my family playing it on TV :)).
Bekah and Ryan-
Please know that I have been praying for you and your family during this hard time. I pray that God wraps His arms around all of you and you feel the peace and strength that only He can provide!
I LOVE Family Feud but, same as you, would not do well if I was actually on the show! 2 of my favorite book series come to mind- Thomas Kinkaid's Cape Light series by Katherine Spencer and The Elm Creek Quilt series by Jennifer Chiaverini. I have read both of these series multiple times. I highly recommend both series (but please, please read the books in order if you read them!!)
Fun post!

Ok, Family Feud is NOT what I guessed for your binge watching!!! (Your concerts and books I track pretty well.) Favorite NEW author to re-read is Fredrik Backman (Man Called Ove, Britt Marie was Here, My Grandmother said to Tell You She's Sorry, BearTown, etc, etc, etc) and favorite old time favorite is also the Elm Creek Quilt series. I really was sad to finish the series so I had to read them again. Concert--Riders in the Sky. Bet that's a surprise, heh, heh. TV binge for me is MONK. This was a fun get to know you, thanks. Lois
Tamar - Can you believe that's one series I haven't read??
Maria - Did you have a favorite host in there?
Tammy - THANK YOU!! That means so much. We appreciate it and definitely do feel the strength from the Lord and the effectiveness of those prayers!
Kelly - Well since you and Lois both mentioned it, I'm going to have to look up this Elm Creek Quilt series. I feel like someone has told me about them before, but I failed to check them out!
Lois - Friends? Was that your guess? It would be a good one - and accurate! I have seen Monk a few times, but not enough. I have a feeling he and I have more in common than I want to admit!
