These questions were originally posted by Literary Lollipop. Find a book blogger who doesn’t love talking about books and talking about themselves. I dare you. I fall into the category of loving both of those, so here goes. I have split these questions into three parts that will be posted for the next three Sundays.

1. Favourite childhood book: I have two for this category. There are two books that developed my love for reading. Charlotte’s Web and Tuck Everlasting.

2. What are you reading right now? The Starlet

3. What books do you have on request at the library? I am really bad about not spending enough time at my local library. It opens after I’ve left for work and closes before I get home. Earlier this year I did put one on request and thought I would start spending more time at the library, but it became available on a Tuesday. I wouldn’t have been able to get it until Saturday. Luckily a friend and I both wanted to read it, so she went and picked it up. I just don’t think it’s fair for all of the other readers that I have it on hold for a week.

4. Bad book habit: Having too many on my TBR. I have two shelves, two rows to a shelf of TBR. Yikes!

5. What do you currently have checked out at the library? Read #3

6. Do you have an e-reader? Not yet. Ask me in a couple of weeks and my answer will be different. I am getting a Nook for my birthday which is at the beginning of September! Woo!

7. Do you prefer to read one book at a time, or several at once? For years, I only read one at time. Recently though, there have been times where I am reading two. Depending on when the books I have on NetGalley are being released, I’ll read one online and a regular book.

8. Have your reading habits changed since starting a blog? Absolutely. I feel like last year, there were A LOT of books that I read that I hated. Now I am more picky and know what I like so the books I read, I want to read and love. I still read about the same amount of time a day and my favorite place to read is still my bed.

9.Least favourite book you read this year: The Gatecrasher by Madeleine Wickham

10. Favourite book I’ve read this year: I have read A LOT of great books this year. But since I’m still on a Firefly Lane high, I would probably say that is my favorite for now.

11. How often do you read out of your comfort zone? I would say maybe a book a month. I like to keep my options open when receiving books from publishers and authors.

12. What is your reading comfort zone? Fiction, YA, Chick Lit and Murder Mystery.

13. Can you read on the bus? I don’t ever ride a bus, but I get extremely car sick, so I doubt it.

14. Favourite place to read: My bed, my deck during the fall and spring.

15. What’s your policy on book lending? I will gladly lend out books, but don’t necessarily lend unless someone asks for something. I am stingy and afraid they are not going to come back in the shape I lend them.

16. Do you dogear your books? Absolutely not! That is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves.

17. Do you write notes in the margins of your books? No. I write them in the notes app on my iPhone.

18. Do you break/crack the spine of your books? I try not to, but sometimes it just happens.
