What was your favorite subject in school?  (from Marie @ Mission To Read)
This is a toss-up for me.  I really, really enjoyed English and Language Arts in school!  I enjoyed getting to read a lot of great books, and I actually enjoyed writing papers on them.  I guess that was good training ground for me to become a book review blogger.  I also enjoyed learning grammar as well.
The second subject I enjoyed was history.  My dad is a big history buff, so I guess I got that from him.  I like learning the history of several different countries, as well as the United States.  I am also an avid military history freak - I enjoy learning things about different wars.

This week's question comes from Aliyah who blogs at Des Absurdités:

 "What book are you most looking forward to seeing published in 2011?  Why are you anticipating that book?"

I am realllly anticipating The Seraph Seal by Leonard Sweet and Lori Wagner!  I really enjoy speculative fiction, and this book concerns the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse.  I'm soooo excited!  This book is being released by Thomas Nelson Publishers, so I am hoping that they offer this book as a part of their Book Sneeze program.  
Here is a write up about the book from Amazon.com:

An epic tale of good and evil based on the four horsemen of the Apocalypse found in the book of Revelation.
Using the four horsemen of the Apocalypse to symbolize the four Gospels, four transcendentals, and four forces of the universe (air, water, earth, and fire), Sweet and Wagner weave a fast-paced, end-times tale of good vs. evil and the promise of a new dawn for humanity.
Set in 2048, when planet Earth is suffering from the damaging effects of years of misuse and abuse, cultural history professor Paul Binder receives a mysterious letter that leads him to examine a lost 2nd-century Diatessaron manuscript. Ancient prophecies, cryptic letters, and strange events set him on a course to uncover the missing clues that could lead humanity into a new age. Each character embodies elements of the four horsemen in a race to save the world from total destruction. Layered with forgotten symbolism from the ancient, Jewish, and Christian traditions, the novel is a type of engaged fiction in which the main character's lost journal serves as a guide to the reader in interpreting clues and understanding the novel's conclusion.
