K.M.’s comments from the K.M. Weiland's Read 100 Books in 2016 Challenge group.

Sorry. I'm just seeing this now. I think we'll say the Bible as a whole counts, but not the individual "books."

What are you using as a bookmark right now?

I currently have a beautiful Lithuanian-made metal bookmark in my non-fic book, and some copied papers with maps and pronunciation guides in my fiction book.

Do you read the majority of your books on an e-reader or in hardcopy? Why?

My ratio is probably pretty evenly split. Most of my fiction books of late have been e-books, while the non-fic have been hardcopies.

Hmm. I haven't been reading too much myself that's light these days. Lots of 700+ page books. :p

Anyone else?

How many books are you "in the middle of" right now?

My answer: Three for me right now.

Perchance to Dream by Lisa Mantev
Scotland by Magnus Magnusson
The Mystery of Providence by John Flavel

Hmm. If you're re-reading it within the same year, I don't think Goodreads will show that.

What's your favorite thing about the book you're currently reading?

I'm still working Somerset Maugham's Of Human Bondage. For as long as it is (800 pages), the thing I appreciate most is the sprightly pacing.

I think I have a new goal in life: ruining readers. ;)

Do you ever put off reading a big book simply because it's so big?

My answer: I love big books, but I always gulp a little bit when starting a big one. Just started Maugham's 700-page tome Of Human Bondage. Little trepidation there at the start, but it's turned out to sustain its length quite well so far.

How many pages in the book you're currently reading (or how many hours does your e-reader say it will take to finish)?

I just started To Darkness Fled by Jill Williamson. My Kindle says it will take me about eight hours. I believe the paperback is 540 pages.

Yep, yep. I'm with Jeffrey on this.

This is great, Hannah! Thanks for sharing it here!

Yep. Ditto this! :)

Do you have a special chair or spot where you prefer to read?

My designated reading spot is my great big comfy chair full of pillows.

That's what I hope all my hi..."

:)

What's your daily average of time spent reading each day?

I sneak in 90 minutes most evenings.

Aww, you just made my day. I have to admit Behold the Dawn is probably my favorite of all my stories. I always get warm fuzzies when someone likes it. ;)

Yikes! The most I've managed in a year is, I think, around 160.

Welcome to February! We're officially 1/12th of the way into our reading challenge. How are you all doing?

I've read 8 books so far, so a little shy of staying on track for 100 books. *gulp*

What is your all-time favorite book? Will you be re-reading it this year?

My answer: Brent Weeks's Night Angel trilogy is right up there at the top for me right now.
