1. Do you remember how you developed a love for reading?
When I was little my parents would allow my sister and I to stay up a little later but only if we were reading a book. I remember lying in bed with a giggle over getting something past my mom and dad as I read only to stay up late, not for the joy of reading. But as I read more and more books I began to read for the right reasons.
2. What are some books you read as a child?
Judy Blume (Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, Blubber, etc), James Howe (Bunnicula, Howliday Inn, etc), Donald Sobol (Encyclopedia Brown series), Beverly Cleary (the Ramona Series) and C. S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia) to name a few.
3. What is your favorite genre?
Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Historical Novels, Literary Fiction
4. Do you have a favourite novel?
Gosh, I'd have to say The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon
5. Where do you usually read?
#1: At work. #2: The bathroom (I'm being honest!) #3: In bed.
6. When do you usually read?
All the time. My job doesn't require much so I read a lot at work. Other than that I read mostly before I fall asleep.
7. Do you usually have more than one book you are reading at a time?
I generally will have two going just because I'm forgetful (sometimes I leave a book at work or at home). But one will usually be new and the other will be something I've read before.
8. Do you read nonfiction in a different way or place than you read fiction?
Not really.
9. Do you buy most of the books you read, or borrow them, or check them out of the library?
If the book is by an auther that I know and love I usually just buy the book (Michael Chabon, David Sedaris, etc). But if it's something that I'm not sure of I borrow from the library.
10. Do you keep most of the books you buy?
If I don't like the book then I donate it to my work (if it's appropriate).
11. What are you reading now?
Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler and The Thousand Orcs by R. A. Salvatore
13. Do you keep a TBR (to be read) list?
Yes, some are on my profile.
14. What's next?
The High Window by Chandler and The Lone Drow by R. A. Salvatore
15. What books would you like to reread?
The Lord of the Rings books by J. R. R. Tolkien
16. Who are your favourite authors?
Raymond Chandler, David Sedaris, Michael Chabon, R. A. Salvatore, Bob Smith and Carrie Fisher to name a few
