The Happy Tag

The colors in this photo make me happy!

I've seen The Happy Tag on a few different blogs including Wonderland Creek, Hamlette's Soliloquy and Times And Seasons Of A Beautiful Life. The idea alone made me happy so I had to give it a try. For my answers I'm focusing more on things that I've enjoyed and have made me happy recently.

The rules are simple, list things under the categories of Books, Words, Movies & TV, Fictional Characters, Scents, Songs and Miscellaneous that make you happy. You can tag other people specifically but most people just tag anyone who wants to have some fun posting it.

So many books, so little time!
