1. If you could travel back in time & kick anyone, who would it be & why?
2. When people mistake your name for another name, what is it? (People seem to call me Kate a lot, not at all close to Sara. Although, I was once known as Stacey at a place I worked, this went on for 6 months & spread like wildfire, even though I always wore a nametag)
3. If you could add any question to this Meme what would it be?
It's pretty obvious the Meme ran out of steam at the end there. Maybe it can be known as the Meme with the most abrupt ending ever.
So here is Stacy's Meme
Directions:
- Use blue font for everything you’ve read
- Use red font for everything you’ve started but never finished
- Use purple font for everything you’ve read but wish you hadn’t
- Use yellow font for everything you’d never read, even you and that book were the only things to survive the apocalypse
- Use black font for things you’ve never read
- Use green front for things you want to read
- Use orange font if you’ve read the author but not that particular work

Oh, I wish I'd seen your meme before I did the other book meme today. Oh, well. I'll do both!
i love that you let people call you the wrong name for six months. that's hilarious.
i have fulfilled my tag, and did your meme on my blog.
and now it's time for you to go finish pride & prejudice. go on, go.
Great meme! I have excitedly taken part on my blog.
I wonder if there's anyone doing the book meme who has actually read a Tolstoy and finished it?
You and Stacy inspire me. "Think up new meme" has now been added to my weekend to-do list.
I'll take on your tag at my site. I can't wait. And to answer Ellesapelle - me (a math major) - I finished Anna Karenina. Go figure.
