A Frivolous Book Meme

From Krakovianki's blog. She's been posting about a craft fair in Poland, which is of particular interest to me because Chopin was from Poland.

1. One book on your desk right now?
The Cloud of Witness edited by Mrs. Gell

2. One book with a bookmark in it that you haven't picked up for a few days?
The Mists of Avalon - I promised myself I would read it for the last five years. Finally, a few weeks ago, I picked it up and read a good bit of it - and was disappointed. I decided not to finish it, but the bookmarker is still there in case I relent and give it a second chance.

3. One book marked with a pencil (or other irregular marker) stuffed between the pages instead of a proper bookmark?
A small Children's Bible (I was underlining something)

4. One book with the cover falling off, or other grievous injuries?
The Age of Fable; luckily, we have a second copy.

5. One book you "ought" to be reading, but don't feel like it?
Too many to choose from

6. One book sitting on the shelf and enticing you to read it instead of anything else?
My son's DK book about Pirates

7. Your most recently acquired book?
The Cloud of Witness

8. One book on your "wish list?"
Norms and Nobility by David Hicks

9. One book you literally threw in the trash?
I haven't ever thrown any book in the trash, but Mists of Avalon may be a first

10. One person who ought to answer these questions?
Miss Roxie and Ginger (that's two, isn't it?)
