8. What are 3 books from your favourite author

Georgette Heyer:
Devil's Cub
Arabella
April Lady

9. Funniest book you have ever read?

I think that honour has to go to the Georgia Nicolson books, starting with Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging. I sit hidden away with them, just giggling. You don't hear from me until I'm done with the whole series!

[Olga]

9. Funniest book you have ever read?

I can't decide. There are 3 books that vie for that distinction:

The Corinthian by Georgette Heyer
Agnes and the Hitman by Jennifer Crusie
The Warrior's Apprentice by Lois McMaster Bujold

[Jeshu]

9. I'll second Rea with the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson. I swear I laguhed out loud with all the books, especially in the middle of the night! Another one worth mentioning is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!! Such fun times :D

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

10. Have you ever bought a book abroad?

Nope....

[Jeshu]

10. Yes, in Argentina and on The Book Depository which is in the UK... books abroad are much cheaper than in my country u_u

[Andrea]

Have you ever bought a book abroad?

yes - apart from guide books I bought crime novel set in Barbados whilst holidaying there

[Victoria]

10. Yes. The Hollows series by Kim Harrison is easier to get copies of if I order it from the US; takes longer to get to me, but at least I get it (we keep having issues with stock availability over here). Also, I brought Terry Pratchett's "Night Watch" (one of his Discworld novels) when I was in Canada.

[Jeshu]

I forgot to me ntion that when I went to the states,I brought with me like 15 books because they were so cheap... second-hand boookstores were like paradise

[Rea, Ghost]

10. Yes, I have. I tend to buy books whenever I go abroad. Whenever I go back to the UK, I take a mostly empty suitcase and fill it with new clothes and books! I have a cookbook from Hungary but all the measures are American >.< Gah!

[Jeshu]

I swear American measures were created by satan. They ruin my life!! >.<

UK rules :)

[Victoria]

11. I think probably about a dozen books is the most I've done in one go. Though, I've had a few weeks when I've brought several books a few days in a row, and - when I first had my Kindle epsecially - brought like 50 books one week! In my defence, most of them were either free or cheap at the time, but still...

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

11. What are the most books you bought in one go?

6 books in retail shops.. but.. around 15 or so on kindle... and as Victoria said.. they were either cheap or free :D

[Becky]

10. Have you ever bought a book abroad? Nope
11. What are the most books you bought in one go?
6 or 7? I'm not sure....
Though if you're counting free books on amazon, probably over 100!

[Jeshu]

11. 10 when I went to Argentina and discovered the true meaning of cheap books XD

[Rea, Ghost]

11. I haven't the foggiest! Far, far too many. I'm really bad with Amazon, 'cuz everything looks cheap but the prices add up pdq!

[Victoria]

12. Yes. Actually, I read one earlier this year that I thought I might not have liked, but it was free so I grabbed it anyway. Can't think now what the title was, but I remember that I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

12. Have you read a book that you thought you might not have liked?

I have.. but.. I really can't remember what.. all i know is.. i have mostly liked everything i have read... sooooo IM GUESSING i loved it! haha

[Becky]

12. Have you read a book that you thought you might not have liked? The Best Of Times by Penny Vincenzi :) I usually don't like the idea of multiple storylines going on in a story but Penny somehow managed to make it work :D

[Becky]

13. Has a book made you cry? Yes! Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma! Absolutely heartbreaking at the end!

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

13. Has a book made you cry?

Loads.. but ones i remember is.. :
The Book Thief,The Dead and the Gone, Numbers, The Power of Six and Mockingjay and many more.

[Jeshu]

12. Well...several, especially some of the Starcraft ones.

[Andrea]

13. Has a book made you cry?

any where a character i liked dies - like in Me Before You

[Jeshu]

13. A storm of Swords, The Book Thief, Tehanu, and some others...

[Victoria]

13. Yes. Any time a character I've grown to like dies, or something happens to them that's really upsetting. It's times like that I'm glad I use only my hands and ears for books and don't have to try and read on through the tears!

[Olga]

12. Have you read a book that you thought you might not have liked?

Yes. Skinwalker I'm not a fan of paranormal fantasy and I didn't think I'd like it but I did, to a degree.

13. Has a book made you cry?

Definitely: Me Before You. A beautiful, heart-wrenching book.

[Rea, Ghost]

12. Have you read a book that you thought you might not have liked?

Indeed I have. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but there have been a fair few.

13. Has a book made you cry?

The Book Thief is the first one that came to mind.
The High Lord came a close second.
There have been a few!

[Victoria]

14. Oh, I wouldn't hit someone with a book... I respect books too much for that! No, I'd hit them with something less valuable!

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

14. If you got mad at someone, what book would you hit them with?


If i am REALLY REALLY mad at them and i dont like that person... it would be somethiing like,..the last Twilight books... :P

if im friends with the person and they slightly made me mad.. i woudl hit them with a thin book like.. errm.. skellig.. :P

[Rea, Ghost]

14. If you got mad at someone, what book would you hit them with?

The Bible. It's the biggest, heaviest book I own (my version is *huge* as it's aimed at younger readers so the type is very large). It'd pack one hell of a punch!

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

I wont ever get mad with u.. if im near you.

[Olga]

14. If you got mad at someone, what book would you hit them with?

When my father was still alive, he collected art books. One of the jewels of his collection was a two-volume set of reproductions from the Sukarno Art Collection. Each tome was huge and very heavy, hard for me to lift with both hands. The prints inside were wonderful, but you could do real injury if you hit someone with it. I never tried. Maybe if I was mad enough...

[Becky]

14. If you got mad at someone, what book would you hit them with? I've not got to the point where I've needed to hit with a book but I guess the nearest book to me :P

[Anoop]

14- I would hit them with harry potter 7th book!!!

[Jeshu]

14. Those huge teelephone directories :P

[Victoria]

15. A few times. The worst one for me was when Dobby died in the Harry Potter books.. I still haven't forgiven J K Rowling for that one!
