Hello and happy timezones, kind friends! I have greatly enjoyed your responses to my Get to Know You posts!
So, it’s time. Come sit on my porch for a spell. Tea, lemonade and refreshments will be served shortly.
Here are 3 questions! Let’s go!
Here is round #35:
- What was your favorite subject in school and why?
- What book had a significant impact on you?
- Do you have a favorite local restaurant or cafe?
Here are my answers:
- My favorite subject was chemistry because I found it to be very easy. I loved all the formulas and logging, and converting compounds to moles.
- To Kill a Mockingbird. (I may have asked this question before?)
- The Pho Pot is my favorite. I love Vietnamese food.
And now, it’s your turn! If you don’t want to participate, no problem! I’m just glad you’re here. A hello would be fantastic, though! Of course, lurkers are always heartily welcome, too. xo
Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!

Chemistry!! Always have been a smart pants!
LOL I dunno about that, but it was a fun subject. 😀
Yes you are!!!!!
Okay then! I will believe you! 😀 😀 🩷🌺
What was your favorite subject in school and why?
Latin, becauseI just love everything about the Roman Empire.
What book had a significant impact on you?
Lord of the Rings.
Do you have a favorite local restaurant or cafe?
The pizza joint in the village is a rare pearl, and their pizza’s are to die for!
Latin! That’s so cool!
Oh yeah, LOTR has had an impact on many people, is my guess.
Pizzaaaaaaaaaa…. Do they deliver to Michigan? LOLOLOL
My favorite subject was English – no surprise there. But I also enjoyed chem lab and dissection in physiology.
It might be a cliche’ to say this, but the Harry Potter books. I assumed they were children’s books and never would have picked up the first one if a friend hadn’t urged me to give it a try. It opened up a whole new world of books and probably led me to write.
My youngest son is a sous chef at a local restaurant, so I have to say that one!
I’m not surprised by your favorite subjects because we usually answer things about the same. lol I liked physiology, too.
I know what you mean about the Harry Potter books. There was such a buzz about them, when my son wanted to read them, I read the first one just to see what all the fuss was about. lol
I wish your son delivered! haha 😀
Thank you so much for playing, Teri! It’s really good to see you.
Vietnamese food is terrific!
What was your favorite subject in school and why? Language Arts, then Drama in my later high school years. Also loved one Economics class I took. So much depends on the particular teacher and how one vibes with them.
What book had a significant impact on you? I think Where the Red Fern Grows was traumatizing in a way that showed me how powerfully a book could affect emotions and sense of the world, how different places could be.
Do you have a favorite local restaurant or cafe? Right now, not really. There are several ‘good enough’ places in my life right now.
It feels so clean and fresh, doesn’t it?
I think you’re absolutely right about having the right teacher. You can have the worst subject but if the teacher engages you, you might still like the class.
Where the Red Fern Grows was traumatizing for me, too. I think that’s a great takeaway you had about how you realized how a powerful book could affect the reader.
LOL That’s cool. 😀
Thank you so much for playing, Stephanie! Happy Monday!
Happy Monday 🙂 Wish you a lovely week ahead!
I’m wishing the same for you! xo
Nice to hear from you again. These are always fun.
My favorite subject was history, especially the era of the Roman Empire.
Books with the most impact on me, probably the Iliad and the Odyssey. I have read them about six times. But I also really liked When Pride Still Mattered, the story of Vince Lombardi.
Here in the Carolinas where BBQ reigns supreme, wood and charcoal grills run all year. My favorite local place is Hursey’s BBQ. Great chicken, ribs BBQ…Thanks. Now I’m hungry!
Hi, JC! It’s great to see you!
I think history and studying the Roman Empire would be fun! I’m the weirdo who took Ancient History as an elective. LOL
I haven’t read those in a long time, but I do remember liking them. I should read them again!
BBQ!! Yes, please! lol I’m hungry now, too! LOLOLOL
Thank you so much for playing! I’m heading to your site now!🌺
Good morning Kymber
1. A toss up between French and Social Studies. French was an easy 5 credits for me and some of it has even stuck in my mind some 60 years later.
2. Likely Kidnapped or Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. A sense of adventure and drama.
3. We did have one until it closed. It was Langano Skies, an Ethiopian place. Fortunately, we became friends with the owners and still enjoy their cuisine.
Happy Friday.
Allan
How interesting! And it’s cool you still remember it, too, Allan!
Those are both such good books. I remember enjoying them, too.
I’ve never had Ethiopian food but I would be willing to try it. That’s great you can still enjoy their cuisine!
Happy Sunday! 🌺
I guess it’s not surprising that we have a lot of English and History lovers amongst us. I was surprised and pleased to see a couple of readers mentioned books that I nominated in my post. “!984” and “On The Beach”

Here are my answers, Kymber.

Thank you so much, Fandango! I’m going to your site in the next few minutes so I can read your answers!
Wonderful! I’m so glad you played and I’m clicking through to your site now! 🌺
WOW KymberNoodle, where do you come up with all of these thought-provoking questions my friend? What a genius you are. Love this! Getting to know you just that much more! 🥰💖🤗🥂😘 Hugs and smooches!
I’m not that good, ChickiePotPie! I have gleaned questions from my brain, and the internet, too. LOL I wouldn’t say I’m a genius. But that is sweet as ever of you. Hugs and smooches, my Chickie! 🌺🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛
As for me:
What was your favorite subject in school and why? It was physics, because I loved to find out how the world works, the math and how to use the formulas.
What book had a significant impact on you? Many books had a significant impact, but “The Storms of my grandchildren” compelled me to take the step towards volunteering for the Citizens Climate Lobby
Do you have a favorite local restaurant or cafe? India Palace in Dallas
Physics is a great subject! From what I’ve read of your sites, I can tell you are very good with Physics. 🙂
I think that’s wonderful you volunteer. I’m going to read this book, too. Thanks for the recommendation.
That sounds good. Last time I was in Texas, I didn’t know where to eat because there were so many good restaurants.
Q1: History. Because it explains the present. If we don’t know our history, we’re bound to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.
Q2: That’s a tough question. But if I had to cite one single book, it would be 1984 by George Orwell. Because it shows you how far a totalitarian regime will go to control people. We live in times where this subject about control and manipulation is more relevant than ever.
Q3: Nope, because I relocate on a regular basis. Can’t stand still for too long 😊 I go with the flow. Sorry, no fav restaurant.
That’s it. Always a pleasure to participate in this game Kymber 🙏
Hi, Chris! 🙂
Q1. I so agree with you on that. It is very important to learn history.
Q2. I just read “1984” by George Orwell a few weeks ago! I agree that the subject is relevant in these times.
Q3. LOL No worries. It’s good to go with the flow, especially if you move around so much. 🙂
I’m so glad you enjoy this game, Chris! I’m so glad!
You’re welcome Kymber 🌞
Yay.
What was your favorite subject in school and why?
English. It was the only subject I was good at. I sucked at math and was ok in physics and chemistry.
What book had a significant impact on you?
As a child, I read a book called Mahashweta by Sudha Murthy, where the protagonist Anupama, contracts vitilgo. She is subjected to mistreatment by her in-laws and her husband, due to their superstitious and narrow-minded beliefs. How Anupama fights society and reclaims her life is a story that left a lasting impact on me.
Do you have a favorite local restaurant or cafe?
There’s a local restaurant that serves the best samosas. I love that place.
Hi, Aboli! I’m glad you’re excited about the questions!
English is a great subject to be you favorite.
Wow, I can see why that story had such an impact on you. It sounds like a triumphant book that would be good reading and inspire.
I love samosas! I’m glad you have a restaurant locally where you can get them. 🙂
I like that your favorite subject was chemistry — that’s cool! My answers to your questions:
1. English was my favorite by a wide margin
2. Many books have had big impacts on me, but I’ll go with “The Lord of the Rings” because I read it as a teenager and I was astounded by it
3. A fave restaurant near me is the Parkway Deli. Good, honest diner food. For many years, my family went there on Saturday nights with my neighbor until he passed away. A lot of great times and conversations were had there.
Thank you, Dave! Chemistry was it! 😀
1. That’s why you’re such a wonderful writer, I believe. English is a great subject to love.
2. LOTR is such a great series! I remember when my son found the series; my parents got it for him. And he read it way faster than I thought he would. He loved it so much, I let him skip school so he could see all the movies in the theater on opening day. lol
3. That sounds really good. There’s something about a nice diner that makes you feel nostalgic. 🙂 It’s fun you have great memories to draw upon from those times at the diner.
Awesome that you let your son skip school and watch the LOTR movies in the theaters!! That’s good parenting 🙂
LOL Thank you, Dave. My children have brought so much joy into my life, they deserve a treat now and then. 🙂
Thank you so much for playing! I’m heading over to your answers now. 🙂
Hi Kymber, you were a smart girl to have understood chemistry so easily. Chemistry is very difficult. My favourite subject was English followed by history. What book had the biggest influence on me. Probably I am David. I read it when I was about ten years old. I prefer Robbie’s kitchen to eating out. I like to cook and I prefer to make my own meals. Every weekend is a culinary adventure.
Thank you, Robbie. There was an aspiration at one point to be a doctor, but I studied nursing instead. It was the right choice for me.
I’m not surprised you picked English and history. Those are awesome subjects, and I can see what a good writer you are.
“I am David” is a book I’ve never read, but would like to. Thanks for the recommendation!
I would, too, if I had Robbie’s kitchen at my house! 🤣😂
Haha, I spent a great deal of yesterday cooking a traditional South African meal for heritage day tomorrow.
Wow! That is so cool, Robbie!
What was your favorite subject in school and why? My favorite was history. I loved learning about events of the past and how they affected the present.
What book had a significant impact on you? On the Beach. This was the first book that I read where the ending was not what would be considered happy. I thought the character development was superb
Do you have a favorite local restaurant or cafe? No. I really haven’t been out to eat since the pandemic and we moved here shortly before it began, so I don’t have experience in the local places.
History is a favorite of mine as well. 🙂
“On the Beach” sounds like a great book! I’d love to read it for the character development.
Yes, that definitely makes sense.
Thank you so much, John!
😊
TGI Fridays lol
LOL My daughter and I used to have “girl days” and we always went to her favorite which was TGI Fridays! 😀
She has excellent taste.😉
Oh, yes, she always has. LOL 😀
English Lit
Kes… A very moving coming of age story.
Hi, KC! English Lit is great. I enjoyed that very much, too.
I’ll have to look “Kes” up. It sounds good!
You’ll enjoy it. 😉
I’m sure I will. 😀
mine english languages and his story
I think those subjects are fun, too! Thank you so much for playing!
my pleasure
I loved English best – a love of words and reading 😊
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis. I loved the story world he created and it made me want to do the same.
Rondo in the town where I live as they do great vegan food.
That’s wonderful! 🙂
Oh I love that series of books! My son also loved them and read the entire series more than once.
I love vegan restaurants. I’m glad you have one near you that you like.
Here’s mine

Thank you so much for playing! Heading there now!
I like your answers. I never took much science subjects in school. My favorite was English because we got to write themes and i loved writing things then and now.
There are lots of books I love, but the one that made the biggest impact is, “Lost Souls” by Poppy Z. Brite. It’s what I write my fan fiction about,
I like Vietnamese food too. We have one place here we like, Saigon Cafe which is good. But my favorites are all Mexican food restaurants, and there are lots of them here. I like them all. 🙂
I’m so glad you liked my answers! 🙂 I bet you favorite being English was helpful in becoming such a great writer!
Ooooh, I need to check that book out! I love your fanfic!
YAY to Vietnamese food! Saigon Cafe sounds great! I love Mexican food, too.
Kudos for doing well in chemistry! I had a terrible time with the science subjects but loved history, especially ancient history.
Lots of books have left impressions. One that comes to mind is “Aztec”, by Gary Jennings. It’s historical fiction about what happened to the Aztecs when the Spaniards invaded Mexico.
Our current favourite restaurant is called “Buca Di Bacco” (translation: the cellar of Bacchus [Roman god of wine]). Italian food is my favourite, especially seafood, and they offer a superb menu!
Thank you, Debbie! I loved history, too. Ancient history was my favorite also! 🙂
That sounds like a good book! I’m going to look it up.
Italian food is wonderful! It sounds good!
Thank you so much for playing! Have a great rest of the weekend!
