1. You have 20,000 books on your TBR (Sounds about right). How in the world do you decide what to read next?
- Usually, I just go what I'm in a mood for. For example, I just finished Hunted by Meaghan Spooner and I really enjoyed the scenes of the book where the character was talking different stories to the Beast. And because of that, I decided to read next The Wrath and the Dawn by Reneé Ahdieh which I have heard is how the main character managed to survive. By telling the stories.
2. You’re halfway through a book and you’re just not loving it. Do you quit or are you committed?
- I am very committed to finishing the book no matter what, but mostly I tend to skip sections or only to read certain chapters. Of course, there were times where I decided to just not continue with the book but only rarely when I just couldn't care less about the storyline or the characters itself.
3. The end of the year is coming and you’re so close, but so far away on your Goodreads reading challenge. Do you try to catch up and how?
- I don't set my goals high in first place. This year my goal was 55 books but around January this year my old friend Reading Slump decided to stay for a visit and I knew that I would never be able to reach it. not when in May I only finished about seven or eight books so I changed my challenge to one book and I will see where the roads will lead me from there
4. The covers of a series you love do. not. match. How do you cope?
- I hate this so much! Mostly, okay, mostly I can cope if the cover has changed (somehow), but what I can't stand is when the height of the books are not the same!!!
5. Every one and their mother loves a book you really don’t like. Who do you bond with over shared feelings?
- I don't really go to anyone but is always nice to meet someone who shares the same opinion about as you, mostly when everyone else seemed to be against it (Six of Crows, duh)
6. You’re reading a book and you are about to start crying in public. How do you deal?
- I am not ashamed to cry over a book in any place even though I earned some laughing while doing so
7. A sequel of a book you loved just came out, but you’ve forgotten a lot from the prior novel. Will you re-read the book? Skip the sequel? Try to find a synopsis on Goodreads? Cry in frustration?!?!?!?
- I am well known to read and love and enjoy a book and then never got around to read the next in a series. Not because I'm scared to, but simply because I don't like reading about the same world for a longer time. I need a break but then the break is longer than work on Monday and I totally forget about it. Luckily, most of the times I do remember pretty clearly what happened, but also there were cases where I had to reread the first book twice, before continuing with the series (which to be honest, I still haven't)
8. You do not want anyone. ANYONE. borrowing your books. How do you politely tell people nope when they ask?
- I always say that I just forgot about it until they forget about it
9. Reading ADD. You’ve picked up and put down 5 books in the last month. How do you get over your reading slump?
- This is what I was trying to find about for the last six months
10. There are so many new books coming out that you’re dying to read! How many do you actually buy?
- See here's my problem. I'm always excited about the new releases, I wait for them, I envy them on Goodreads but when they come out I rarely buy them. But then six months later and I happen to come across them and buy them just then
11. After you’ve bought the new books you can’t wait to get to, how long do they sit on your shelf before you get to them?
- Another year
