Book Things...

I stole this from another book blogger and I can't remember who, I'm sorry.  Maybe it was several book bloggers, IDK.  I've slept since then and well, excuses.


How many hours a week do you spend reading?

6-10 hours listening to audiobooks per week + 4+ hours of ebook time?
I don't count the hours of things I enjoy.


Do you prefer digital or print books?

I'm flexible.  I like having an eBook on my phone for "business" trips (aka poopin' time) and for when I'm waiting in line/etc, I don't have to obviously pull out a book to start reading it.  Yet, there's something about reading a print book that is comforting.

Audiobooks are by far the biggest convenience to my reading since "I'm 'reading' with my ears," as Kristen put it.  I can "read" while cleaning and driving and scooping poop in the yard.


2 favorite genres?

Young Adult
WW2 Historical Fiction


2 not-favorite genres?

Autobiographies/Biographies
Most things by Swedish authors


Biggest book pet peeve?

Weak female characters
Character behaviors that are illogical/impossible (i.e. most of the facial expressions in any 50SOG book).


Favorite thing about reading?

Getting to "discover" new worlds.
Being surprised when what I expect to happen does or doesn't happen.


Bookish confession?

I love listening to audiobooks while doing puzzles or editing photos.

  1. Audiobooks are seriously the best thing ever to me. I don't have a lot of downtime when I am home to sit there and physically read a book. But I do spend a shit ton of time in my car and I can have someone else read to me!!!
