bev was curious and decided to start a quiz a few weeks ago (and she played her own quiz, so here are her answers in case you missed ’em). The answers were so fun, and I know we ALL can relate to these in one way or another. What’s fun about ’em, is it forces us to reconsider our TBR lists, and re-introduces us (or REMINDS us) of highly recommended books that are already on it. Or gives us insight as to what our fellow readers like to read, and how they “choose”.
Here are the questions:
- Book(s) you can’t believe you haven’t read yet?
- Book(s) that the cover grabs your attention?
- Book(s) from buzz/review?
- Book(s) from book buddy book talk?
- Book(s) you are hesitant to read?
- Book(s) in part because the author makes you feel you are in that locale?
- Book(s) you really hope is what you think it is going to be?
- Book(s) that randomly pop into your head and you think yes I need to read that?
- If your weekend read had to come from this list what 1 or 3 would they be?
- Last one. Should Maryse put her tbr away and watch the first episode of Sherlock and blog it?
In fact, here are Fabi’s answers! 😉
Fabi’s Answers:
“Those are way too questions above. I could answer some but others would require way too much work. lol I’ll try. Question answers coming up next. Warning…it’s loooooooong. Sheesh Bev. lol”
1. Book(s) you can’t believe you haven’t read yet? Way too many to list. A prime example being Radiance (Wraith Kings Book 1) which I finally read and just finished.
2. Book(s) that the cover grabs your attention? In general, any cover with the color emerald green immediately snags my eye. Also any cover with a depiction of the DNA strand makes me pause and read the blurb. In particular, there is one book on my carousel that catches my eye every time I open Kindle. It’s Eternal Eden (Eden Trilogy Book 1) by Nicole Williams
3. Book(s) from buzz/review? Almost every day I add a “want to read book” based on reviews. Some people read the news with their morning coffee. I read book reviews. One or two dozen a day.
4. Book(s) from book buddy book talk? I tend to read books rec’d on Maryse’s book blog.
5. Book(s) you are hesitant to read? Amy’s heartbreaking favorites and Maryse’s scary thrillers. I’m such a chicken. :-/
6. Book(s) in part because the author makes you feel you are in that locale? No idea, other than sci-fi when I’m on a space ship or a cool as shit planet.
7. Book(s) you really hope is what you think it is going to be? Not to many of these. At least I can’t think of any. I go into books with closed eyes and an open mind.
9. If your weekend read had to come from this list what 1 or 3 would they be? :-/ I didn’t pick a single one from this list for my weekend read. I scrolled and scrolled through my tbr. Opened Altered by Marnee Blake then switched to my iPad so my phone could charge and as I was looking for Altered I stopped on Mnevermind 1: The Persistence of Memory, opened it and started reading. It’s great so far. But I am so random in my reading. There’s no telling what I’ll read next in spite of the dozens of lists I keep to get books in some sort of order.
10. Last one. Should Maryse put her tbr away and watch the first episode of Sherlock and blog it? Maryse may have to. Although, if it were me, I’d turn the show on and read a book while it played.
