So, okay, I wasn't tagged to do this. I saw it on YouTube by Katytastic and thought it looked fun! Here we go!
1. You have 20,000 books on your TBR. How in the world do you decide what to read next?
I do have a TBR Jar. I got the idea from Little Book Owl to take one book out each month and be committed to read it. Other than that, I just go by feeling. Why would I read a book I don't want to at the moment?
2. You’re halfway through a book and you’re just not loving it. Do you quit or are you committed?
I am a quitter. But, I'm always willing to try again. I'm a big believer in "the right book, the right time".
3. The end of the year is coming and you’re so close, but so far away on your Goodreads reading challenge. Do you try to catch up and how?
Umm... see my second Twelve Days of Bookmas post! I'm a fighter. I may resort to children's novels, but I. AM. A. FIGHTER!
4. The covers of a series you love do. not. match. How do you cope?
It really depends on how different they are and how attached I am to one cover or the other. For instance, The Inheritance Cycle. I am completely in love with the elegant simplicity of the covers - the dragons framed with a corresponding color, etc. But recently, they changed the covers - they zoomed up on the dragons' faces and now the cover is all glossy and such and I really hate it. So, I hunted and hunted for the rest of the covers and bought some used - but they do all match. It just really depends on the book.
5. Every one and their mother loves a book you really don’t like. Who do you bond with over shared feelings?
Um... my... no. I don't share. I care too much about the people I love to trash a book they love. Haha! I keep it bottled up inside. My blog is my place for venting!
6. You’re reading a book and you are about to start crying in public. How do you deal?
Bathroom. We call them "restrooms" for a reason. They're for resting your poor little heart after it has been ripped out of your body and torn to shreds by a book. Cry in the bathroom.
No bathroom? Let it out. Let everybody see. If they ask why, just hand them the book. You don't need it anymore.
7. A sequel of a book you loved just came out, but you’ve forgotten a lot from the prior novel. Will you re-read the book?
Actually, I don't re-read the book. I think it's just because I'm lazy, but now that I think about it... I really should start.
8. You do not want anyone. ANYONE. borrowing your books. How do you politely tell people nope when they ask?
I would probably just tell them that I'm not a library and to get their own *darn* books. Haha, nope. I'd just say that I had a few people already lined up to read it and it'd be quicker to find it from another friend or even the library.
9. Reading ADD. You’ve picked up and put down 5 books in the last month. How do you get over your reading slump?
Harry Potter all the way. That's the only way out.
10. There are so many new books coming out that you’re dying to read! How many do you actually buy?
All the books. Period.
11. After you’ve bought the new books you can’t wait to get to, how long do they sit on your shelf before you get to them?
Quite some time if it's the very beginning or end of a semester. Things start looking up towards the middle and recently, I've been able to pump them out pretty quick. But I've got books sitting on my shelf unread anywhere from 4 years to 1 week.
