30 Day Book Challenge - Day 12 and 13
I would've posted day 12's post yesterday (actually ON day 12) but when I got to the point where I had time to write it, I was in too much pain and discomfort to concentrate - after cleaning the house for 3.5 hours straight and I think pretty much pulling/straining every part of my lower back (stupid bathtub and bathtub wall tiles! grrr). so yet again i'm lumping 2 days together.
But you don't mind, do you?
So without further delay, here's the questions for yesterday and today:
12. What author do you own the most books by and why?
Answer: Terry Pratchett. Simply because his books are hilarious, lighthearted, fun, entertaining, his characters are great, and his world (Discworld - I almost just spelled Discoworld there) is fantastic and he takes so much from our mythologies to create his world, characters and setting!
I think I own all of Pratchett's Discworld series books - all 38 (except The Truth and The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents which is a YA book). So I own 36 - including the YA/teen books (i.e. A Hat Full of Sky - all the books with the Nac Mac Feegles).
And I LOVE all of the BBC's made-for-tv movies and miniseries so far that have been made of some of the books (Colour Of Magic, Going Postal and Hogfather). I loved Going Postal!
13. Do you own multiple copies of any book? What are they? Why do you have multiple copies?
No. And the rare times that I have, I gave away the extra copy or dropped it off in a book charity box. The only reason i would own multiple copies of a book is by accident - i.e. someone (usually my husband) would buy me a book that he didn't know I already have of a series. Or I would buy a book, liking the look of it, only to realize I already had! I'm not the type of person to buy multiple copies due to different covers or updated info etc.
