My Answers to Feel Your Books Questions:
1. When you go to the bookstore or library, what is the first section you typically visit? Bookstores, I typically head for the travel section. I am trying to break free of the "arm-chair traveling." Now libraries, totally different. I head to the Young Adult section, I hate to admit for the most part Adult books kind of bore me and I want some action!
2. What's your favorite hobby beside reading? Photography. I'm actually a published photographer and have several ribbons to my name.
3. do you have any literary tattoos or would you consider getting any? Sadly, I do not have a single tattoo anywhere on me. I have a bit of a needle phobia, so I have not bit the bullet.
4. What is your favorite item on your bookshelf that isn't a book? My jar of sea shells. I collect them from the lake whenever I go walking there.
5. Do you DNF books? I rarely DNF books. If that happens it is because I just could not agree with the content of it.
6. If you could only read one genre for the rest of forever, which genre would you pick? Oh man! That is a tough question. If I had to choose, I would say Dystopian. The reason I say this is there is action, romance, and people over-coming obstacles.
7. What is your favorite book with a purple cover? The Second Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares. That is a great series.
8. In your opinion, what is the best review you've written or filmed? Hands down, my best/favorite review I have written would be The 5th Wave. I absolutely loved everything about that book and writing the post was so easy and quick.
9. Futuristic or Historical Fiction? Historical. I love history of any kind.
10. When did you become a serious reader? I would say the 5th grade. My library growing up was amazing and worked with my elementary school to take Sequoyah tests. If you read so many books from that list and passed enough tests, you took a trip at the end of the year. That was so much fun.
11. Coffee or tea? Coffee. But I didn't develop that habit until my 30's. Late bloomer.

Thanks for the nomination Moriah! I had so much fun doing this!
:D You're so very welcome! I'm glad you had fun with this.
ReplyDeleteAnd major congrats on your photography! That's so awesome, for real.
Major bummer about the shellfish allergy, though. I didn't know that it was possible to develop an allergy like that so late. Oh, man, to never eat crabs or clams again...I'm so sorry. Shrimp is a solid third on my top favorite list of seafood--I couldn't even imagine never being able to eat one again.
And I really love your answer to number 10! That sounds like a wicked cool reading program and you can consider me insanely jealous! I just read for the Pizza Hut book club when I was young. Read a bunch of books, collect glittery stickers, and eat pizza. It made not only a reader but also a pizza addict out of me. Haha.
Thank you! I really love photography, esp when I get a good shot! Haha.
ReplyDeleteTell me about the allergy, yikes. I was just enjoying my shrimp one day and my lips go numb and my tongue swells a little. Then I gave it another try and the exact same thing happened! So I had to give it up..
I loved the Sequoyah Program. We still do the Sequoyah Lists yearly, but they no long do the tests and trips. It is all AR now. I think they can win stuff if they have the most points.
I wish there were adult programs for stuff like that. I think it would be fun to take AR tests. Or even have the pizza reading program for adults. Who doesn't love pizza right?
