Ooh, great way to get to know everyone as well. Especially for all us newbies.
The Past When did you start to love reading?
I've loved reading since I can remember but more so in my early teens. What books did you love as a child (either read to or to read yourself)?
I loved all the standard teen books (from when I really started reading), Jacqueline Wilson, Cassandra Clare etc. Childhood memories of reading (if you have them)?
Uhm, trying to read Hamlet at the age of about 12 and not understanding it. I also read Jane Eyre and To Kill a Mockingbird at 11 or 12. Did you read books for school?
I have to read books for my English Literature lessons now and I had to read them at school as well. My secondary school has 30 mins of reading everyday which everyone has to participate in. These were my favourite parts of lessons I wasn't particularly interested in. Favourites Favourite book: Ooh, it's between The Woodcutter by Reginald Hill and the last Wheel of Time book. Favourite genre(s): I would say my favourite genre is fantasy/sci-fi. Your Collection Do you own an ereader?
Yep, I have a Kobo. Ebooks or physical books (or both)?
I'm more inclined to ebooks since I got my Kobo in that they're more efficient in terms of reading outside the house. But I do love the feel/smell of books so I guess both. Hardcover or paperback (or both)?
Paperbacks all the way. I feel bad about the spine creasing in a hardback and it's harder to read a big hardback. New books or used books (or both)?
New books. I think I have a phobia against used books. Nothing against them but you don't know where they've been. Big books or small books (or both)?
Definitely big books. More to read and I love long stories that are well developed. What language are most of your books written in?
English Favourite book shop(s):
Waterstones Do you buy a lot of books?
Not personally, I tend to read the books that my Mum buys if I'm not reading ebooks. Do you spend a lot of money on books?
See above. Amount of owned books: I couldn't tell you. There's about 20-30 in our cupboard but those are just our favourites. Amount of books read: God knows. Upwards of 100 most likely. I've never kept count. Amount of books TBR: Only 4 or 5. I don't like massive TBR piles. Reading How often do you read?
Everyday. Sometimes just for a few hours but I can read for most of the day when I want to. Where do you read?
At school or at home. Anywhere I have spare time. When do you read?
I tend to read in the evenings when TV is on that I don't like. How fast do you read?
I wouldn't be able to tell. I think I read quite fast. It seems even faster with my ereader.
