145. Do you ever place yourself on a book buying ban?

[Jennifer]

Absolutely! I would buy a book every time I went to the store if I didn't!

[Vivian]

No, not really.

[Debra Diggs]

No. The thought might be in the back of my mind, but I just squish it down and buy books.

[Laurel County]

146. What else do you typically purchase other than books at a bookstore?

[Rachel]

If I am enjoying the book, I read the entire book. If it is a book that I really am not getting into, I hate to not know how it ends, so I will generally skim those.

[Rachel]

Normally, I do not go to book stores. But when I do, I usually find many books I want to get, so yes, I have to "ban" myself from buying.

[Rachel]

I am a sucker for bookmarks!

[Jennifer]

I usually purchase books and bookmarks when I go to a bookstore!

[Vivian]

I've purchased a bullet journal from B&N.
Bookmarks.
Funko Pop! Figures

147. Can you read while riding in a car?

[Debra Diggs]

No! I get motion sickness. It is quite bad.

[Jennifer]

I can read if I'm on the interstate. Other than that absolutely not! I have very bad motion sickness as well!

[Vivian]

I can, but I'm a bad backseat driver.

[Laurel County]

148. Do you carry a book bag? If so, what is in it besides books?

[Debra Diggs]

No. But if it is raining, I put the books in a plastic grocery bag to keep them dry (for library pick up and return).

Flashlight, umbrella, hand wipes, sanitizer, benadryl and other assorted over the counters, tissue, notebook and pen, saftey pins,
lip gloss. It's a big book bag.

Everything! Books, purse, lunch, papers, sometimes toys for my child.

I carry a bookbag! I have books, papers and pens, hand sanitizer, wallet, and usually wipes for the kiddos!

My purse is big enough to carry a book or two. I keep earbuds in there in case I'm listening to an audiobook. That's about it for bookish things in there.

[Laurel County]

150. Which author’s writing style is unique to you and why?

Richard Flanagan definitely has a unique writing style. I've only read one book by him and it took awhile for me to get into it, but I enjoyed it for the most part.

[Laurel County]

151. What is a book/writing related job that you would love to do?

[Debra Diggs]

If I had any talent writing, I would love to write novels.

[Laurel County]

156. What is your biggest book related pet-peeve?

[Debra Diggs]

Revealing spoilers

[Jennifer]

I don't like a lot of profanity or sexual content in my books. I believe you can tell a great story without having all of that!!

[Vivian]

I don’t have a lot. I’d say dog-earring pages is one of my biggest.

[Laurel County]

157. If you see someone reading in public, what do you do? (Look to see what they're reading? Look the book up to see a synopsis/rating? Approach the person and start a conversation? Or do you just go on about your day?)

[Jennifer]

I usually look to see what they are reading. Also if I haven't heard of the book and the cover looks interesting I will look it up to see the book's synopsis/rating.

[Debra Diggs]

I would covertly try to look at the title. If it sounds interesting, I will look it up. I would never approach and start a conversation.

[Rachel]

I would probably try to see the title. If it was an author I knew, I might try to engage in a conversation. I know how I am when I am interrupted while reading though...and I might not bother them.
