More Bookish Facts About Me

Hi guys, how are you? As you can see from the title I’ve come up with some more bookish facts.  I don’t know if you guys really care, but the last post seemed to do quite well so… Let’s get started.

1. I do go through periods of not reading anything and that’s fine

2. I have no problem in not finishing books but I like to give it at least 100 pages before I DNF it

3. Hype around a book kind of puts me off

4. I rarely laugh out loud or cry at books

5. When I was younger I used to listen to a tape of The Secret Garden before bed

6. I never thought I’d have the courage to have this book blog 🙂

7. The longest book I’ve read is either War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy or The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, I think.

8. I don’t like movie editions of books

9. Although I love fantasy, I’ve never had much luck with urban fantasy

10. I like graphic novels, but I haven’t read alot of them

11. I love to reread books, although I haven’t done any so far this year

12. I want to read more non fiction

13. I organise my bookshelves by author, format (hardback or paperback) and height… I like to have all the books of the same height all together

14. I very rarely use our local library… I really need to go there more

15. We’ve kept alot of our children’s books and there is one (I think of Thomas the Tank Engine) that have my teeth marks in… just to clarify I was a child when I bit the book :).

 

There you have it – 15 more bookish facts about me. I have to admit I wasn’t sure what to post today and this seemed like a good idea. It was a little tricky coming up with 15 more facts though :). I hope you are all having a wonderful and I will see you next time.
