My geni friend Jill Ball from jillballau and GeniAus shared this quiz a while ago. It took my fancy but the past couple of months have been very busy and I’m only just now, getting to it. The person who originally devised this quiz is American authorRobynCarr. Jill invited her friends to play along and I am extending the invitation to my friends and readers to have some bookish fun also. I think they are great questions and they were fun to think about. My favourite question is number 9, as it’s a pet hate of mine.
Following are my responses:
- Read the first chapter of a book in a bookstore
I have done this in my younger years, but rarely do it now. - Bought a book in an airport
Almost every time I am catching a flight. - Stayed up all night to catch finish a book
I do this often - Bought a book you already owned
Have done this often in the past but not so much now - Keep track of the books you’ve read
In the past I had a book diary, but now use Goodreads and my book blog - Read more than 20 hours per week.
Constantly – both books and audio books - Used a receipt as a bookmark
Very occasionally. I love bookmarks - Follow more than 10 authors on social media
I follow a few but definitely not 10 - A dog eared book page makes you cringe
Yes! Writing in the margins or underlined words has the same effect. - Own more than 300 books
I did in the past but I now have many books on Kindle - Sniffed a new book before reading
Always on first opening a new book. - Bought a book without reading the description
Always. I never read the back cover - Cried due to the death of a fictional character
I have been known to be reduced to tears by sadness in a book. Happy endings can have me in tears also. - Would you rather read than go to a party
Yes, yes, yes. A night in with a book would always win over a night out, and especially a party. - Own a piece of clothing declaring your love of reading
I have a T-Shirt from when I was a volunteer at the Bendigo Writers Festival.
If this quiz calls to you and you decide to play, let me know in the comments. If you are a blogger, leave me the link with your responses, and I will share it.
Bloggers Link-Up
In recent years I’ve been participating, usually on my other blog, in Denyse’s linkup, Wednesday Words and Pictures. Denyse is now retiring from blogging, with last week being her final linkup. I totally understood Denyse’s decision but it was a sad day, as the Wednesday linkup was the highlight of my blogging week. Over the years I’ve made many great connections through the link up which I value.
