I found this in my memories today and decided to devote a few minutes to a self assessment.
Prior to commencing I visited the compiler's website and discovered that she is an American author.
I'm typing out the questions so, I invite YOU, my bookaholic friends to copy them and play along. Please let me know if you do.
Here's my self-assessment
1. Read the first chapter of a book in a bookstore
More than once.
2. Bought a book in a bookstore
Getting out without buying a book is a challenge.
3. Stayed up all night to finish a book
Not as often as I did when I was younger.
4. Bought a book you already owned
In the olden days, yes. Now I check Goodreads or Librarything accounts to make sure I haven't read it.
5. Keep track of the books you've read
Goodreads or Librarything.
6. Read more than 20 hours per week
Yes, when I am home. Sometimes travelling gets in the way of my reading habit.
7. Used a receipt as a bookmark
Tickets, Tissues, Receipts, Brochures - whatever is at hand.
8. Follow more than ten authors on social media
Nope.
9. A dog-eared book page makes you cringe
Yes, I can always find a bookmark.
10. Own more than 300 books
Too frightened to count
11. Sniffed a new book before reading
Part of the reading ritual, one of my fave smells
12. Bought a new book without reading the description
Rarely judge a book by its cover.
13. Cried due to the death of a fictional character
I'm a hard nut but have been driven to tears.
14. Would rather read than go to a party
Depends on the party.
15. Own a piece of clothing declaring your love of reading
Nope.
Mostly I read straight through but if not I’ll use whatever’s to hand, as you do. I still stay up late to read to the end. Can’t recall crying over a character but often left reflecting on events for hours. I dabble in a bookshop rather than read a whole chapter.
ReplyDeleteMy books are mostly (haha) in LibraryThing, read8ng in Good reads, and ebooks on my Kindle app or Amazon.
