I'd be a male bird, since they look more fancy. Probably an exotic green parrot, so I could pose artistically in trees with pink blossoms.

What kind of cat would you be?

[Suz]

I'm a bit anti cats (for me) they make me sneeze. But I'd say a friendly one lol
:D

I have to wear a certain outfit (loungewear) and listen to certain music (ambient), otherwise it just isn't right!

What kind of dog would you be?

I actually couldn't spell sergeant in a recent review of my own! Had to go back and edit! I don't like mistakes.

What do you do with your read hardcopy books?

[Susan]

I usually keep them on the shelf — I may want to re-read or refer to them.

Are you running out of (physical) bookshelf space?

[Suz]

In the worst way. My shelf is not a proper bookshelf and is an ikea display one. I have a pile 3 deep and over one metre high in the space next to the wall. My son was pointing out the ridiculousness of it just last night. Oh well!

Do you have any book obsessions/ocd traits?!

[Noelene]

When buying second hand books from Vinnies etc cannot touch a book/ or buy a book that has foxing.
Books are arranged from least amount of pages, and font size, then genre alternating if possible.
Just rearranged the book shelf because of a challenge but it is annoying me and will have to go back and rearrange the usual way and just pull the books off the shelf as I want to read it. Also try to keep the amount of books I want to read to only one book shelf. Books to give away stored on another shelf if going to friends first and others immediately go in the charity pile to leave the house during the week.

[Suz]

Love those traits! What's your question Noelene?

[Noelene]

Sorry I forgot the question. In a rush as the carpet layers were about to arrive.

Are you feeling tired right now?

Yep. But happy as just finished my book :)

Are you happy with your current book choice at the moment?

[Neko]

Yes! She is one of my favourite authors and I never got around to finishing the book sooo I am looking forward to actually finishing it this time round.

Do you try to set goals within your own mind as to how long a book should take to be read?

[Suz]

Yes, made worse by the silly GR reading challenge!

Does the amount of books on your shelf, be it physical or ebooks, give you angst?!

[Noelene]

Yes. When there are not enough books on the shelf to choose from - particularly if the ones left are all of the same genre and I am sick of that genre. Also I limit my self to one shelf only in a particular bookcase and if the books don't fit I have to read the thinnest ones first to allow more books to come into the house. I have this rule - one book in and one book out.

Do you read the book first or watch the movie first?

[Neko]

Usually the book will be read then i won't watch the movie...lol
