Have you heard of the 30-day book meme? I saw this over on Books Love Me and thought it sounds pretty interesting. I don’t know where it’s origins are though.
The rules of the meme are as follows:
Answer each question in a new post each day for the next 30 days. Here are the questions:
Day 02 – A book that you’ve read more than 3 times
Day 03 – Your favourite series
Day 04 – Favourite book of your favourite series
Day 05 – A book that makes you happy
Day 06 – A book that makes you sad
Day 07 – Most underrated book
Day 08 – Most overrated book
Day 09 – A book you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving
Day 10 – Favourite classic book
Day 11 – A book you hated
Day 12 – A book you used to love but don’t anymore
Day 13 – Your favourite writer
Day 14 – Favourite book of your favorite writer
Day 15 – Favourite male character
Day 16 – Favourite female character
Day 17 – Favourite quote(s) from your favourite book(s)
Day 18 – A book that disappointed you
Day 19 – Favourite book turned into a movie
Day 20 – Favourite romance book
Day 21 – Favourite book from your childhood
Day 22 – Favourite book you own
Day 23 – A book you wanted to read for a long time but still haven’t
Day 24 – A book that you wish more people would’ve read
Day 25 – A character who you can relate to the most
Day 26 – A book that changed your opinion about something
Day 27 – The most surprising plot twist or ending
Day 28 – Favourite title(s)
Day 29 – A book everyone hated but you liked
Day 30 – Your favourite book of all time
I am not quite sure how well I”ll be able to complete this. I mean I have never blogged even 7 days in a row consecutively, but I am sure going to give it an honest shot.
Today’s meme question is:
Day 01 – The best book you read last year
I read a lot of awesome books last year, but I think The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski is probably the most memorable. It’s satisfyingly melodramatic and tragic, and it satisfies my appetite for reading big chunksters.
So, yes. That’s my favorite book of 2010. Which one was yours?
Do you plan to participate in this meme? Please do leave a link in your comments, if you want to take part. The more the merrier 🙂

As for the book, the review you wrote was great! In depth and filled with emotions! I liked the review and to be frank I dont know if I can endure the book! But after reading the review I think I will give it a try!
Hi. This is interesting so I have joined in the fun. Here’s my post:

This sounds like a fun thing! Maybe I will do it too sometime soon 😀
I am adding that book to my wishlist.
wow.. blogging for 30 days at a stretch ! good luck.
I’d seen this meme on another blog I follow and thought of doing it…might take it on sometime soon…haven’t read the book you mentioned but my partner bought it last year so should probably be able to read it…
I’ve been wanting to read Edgar Sawtelle for a few years now, but I feel like I ought to do a re-read of Hamlet first since it is a retelling. I won it in a giveaway a few months ago, so I really have no excuse (plus, Tony gave me the complete works of Shakespeare for my birthday a few years ago, so I could easily fulfill my own Hamlet pre-requisite as well…). So glad to hear you enjoyed it so much!
sounds interesting… at least blogs r updated daily and we share some good amount of information
