#SundayQuestion:If you’re reading more than one book at a time, how do you decide when to switch books?

From here.

If they are books that I've downloaded from Netgalley then it's based on how soon they're about to be released.

If they are books that I own then it's whatever I'm feeling.

Library books is often based around when I have to return the books. My library system doesn't have a fine for late books anymore. But I still try to take them back in a timely manner.

How do you decide to read when you're reading more than one book?

#SundayQuestions: How useful would you be in a zombie apocalypse? What skills do you have that would help you and others survive?

I don't know medicine. I can barely physically run. The only thing I got for me is a couple of swords and other weapons I own. I barely know how to use any of them.

My medical disadvantage is I have arthritis which without proper medication causes pain and stiffness. So, I imagine I'd be someone's lunch or dinner.

My personality at the moment is also less engaging with people. So, having to work with strangers and building communities with the people I don't know...would need work. I'm already paranoid of people and not very trusting...so.

But I am good in panic inducing situations where you have to think fast and change at a moments notice. I have enough patience to sit out somewhere and wait for things to pass by or clear up.

I am super quiet as I don't regularly talk a lot. I can sneak and walk quietly in necessary situations. I used to practice this skill as a kid not sneaking around the house stealing things or leaving the house without my parents knowledge. It was just something I liked doing.

While anxious and chronically ill I do have that going for me. Survival of the fitness doesn't mean the strongest, healthiest.. it just means the people who can adapt to a situation and survive.

So, hopefully, things roll where I am in situations that my odd skills can benefit a situation I'm in. Currently, I don't have the skill of hunting or differentiating plants that I can safely eat. So, hopefully  my boyfriend survives alongside me so that way.... Otherwise, I am starving to death if the zombies don't get me first.

How useful would you be in a zombie apocalypse? What skills do you have that would help you and others survive?

#SundayQuestions: Are You Reading THIS MUCH to have a review almost everyday?

Like I answered in a post Questions: How Do You Blog Every Day  I schedule posts.

 I do read a lot but not enough during a week to write lengthy book reviews that I post. I wouldn't have enough time in the week to do anything else!

What a dream it would be to have the time and money to spend all week reading though.

Ah, dreams.  

Now on occasion I can read and post a review on the same day. That's if I simply cannot wait to talk about something.

How much do you read in a week? What do you read? Books? Magazines? Blog posts? Billboards?

#SundayQuestions: What Book Has Been On Your Shelves the Longest?

ecassells

Do you mean a physical bookshelf? I only have a bookshelf to hold the elementary leveled books I've purchased from Goodwill. These books will eventually live inside a classroom at an elementary that I've been hired at. Sadly, that hasn't happened yet but I pray it will.

But my books that I read are often digital because I have no room to collect physical books for my own reading.

But my digital book library the longest book is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies in my Nook library. I had a nook tablet when they were popular things to have..My mom purchased one for me after I had bought her one.

I've never finished the zombie book because I just couldn't get into it. The topic should interested me but...nope.

I got this question from this blog:  Justyourtypicalbookblog.blogspot.com.

#SundayQuestions: What Book Describes You Best?

SarahRichterArt

Hmm. I don't know how to answer this. I'm more of that side character who gets little screen time and the other characters are confused as to why I'm there. Is this a self-esteem issue? Why yes it is.

This is an updated version of this post. 

#SundayQuestions: Outdoor or Indoor Reading?

Alexas_Fotos

Prefer indoor curled up in bed or partially cuddling the boyfriend. He's usually playing video games or something not book-related as he doesn't read. I know it's hard to think of but I am with someone who doesn't like reading.

But he doesn't mind if I read parts of a book to him or talk about a book I'm reading .. so it's manageable.

I have allergies so I don't have the passion or interest to reading outdoors.

This is an updated version of this post. 

So, where do you prefer to read? Inside? Out?

#SundayQuestions: What book did everyone like but you hated?

A Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I don't dislike this story because it was predictable what was going to happen. I've stated before I don't mind it if I solve the 'twists' before they're revealed. As long as I'm enjoying the book and fully engaged with the story/characters .. it doesn't bother me.

I know others have raged over the make out scene in this book. But I couldn't get over that. It's the wrong place to do this in. I understand they're dying and wandering through this museum of a dead teenager. It's simply a weird thing to put in the book.

And, no, it's not because it's a man author writing about teenagers kissing and having sex. I don't understand why that was an issue with this book. But I remember kids (and probably adults) freaking out and accusing John Green of immoral behavior. 

For the most part every author in the Young Adult section are adults writing about kids and their issues. There wasn't any evidence of him being a creeper..just kids being stupid and jumping to conclusions. 

I didn't like this book because the topic felt like forced emotional response from the readers. Like the topic was selected because it was going to have an emotional response and..therefore attachment to this book. Which in turn allowed him to write shitty characters without having to worry too much on whether they were well-written or not. It felt empty for me.

Even though I disagreed wholeheartedly with the Anne Frank incident I still enjoyed the movie. It's still a fucking weird thing to put in a book. But the movie seemed to help the characters. 

I've probably given someone who is a die-hard reader figurative aneurysms how frequently I prefer a movie over a book.

What book did you hate but everyone else loved? Lemme know :)

#SundayQuestions: Acknowledgments: Waste of ink & paper or interesting aside?

husnil24

I can see why someone may not be interested in reading this. But I'm not one of those people.

I enjoy reading acknowledgements that the authors have included. It's a nice little thing to read. I love that authors taking the time out to thank those who have helped make their book possible.

For me, it helps break the belief that writing a book is a one person show.

So, do you read the acknowledgements?

#SundayQuestions: Used or Brand New?

It doesn't matter if the book is new or used. If it's a book that I am interested in reading I will buy it.

Since most of my book purchases now are digital..they're all technically brand new.

So, do you prefer new or used books when out buying them?

#SundayQuestions: What is the strangest item you've found in a book?

RyanMcGuire

As in something you can pick up from inside of a book? Or? I'm taking this in a general sense that you've found inside a library book.

The strangest thing I've found inside of a book was blood stains. While yes it could easily have been something else. It looked the way blood does after drying on paper -- and yes I've had experience with blood on paper.

I don't remember what the book was I just remember the experience of it. I returned it the next day. I was a kid who panicked because the book has blood and my fingerprints. The whole MY FINGERPRINTS are now on a book with mystery blood -- the concern was real. Plus, a dash of this is disgusting I do not want to read a book with blood on it.

But mostly the whole fingerprints on a blood book. At the time I didn't process that yeah there's a lot of prints on this book including mine. Prints that more than likely will be worn off from being checked out. And, no, I didn't inform the librarians that there was blood stains out of worry that they'd blame me for the stains.

What's the weirdest thing you've found in a book?

#SundayQuestions: #StephenKing- Literary genius or opiate of the masses?

simonwijers

I've never read a book by Stephen King that's enchanted me. They were good enough.

He inspires and is loved by readers so I mean he's doing something that people like. 

I've read blog posts and comments by people saying that his books are getting too long. I don't understand that sentiment. Unless they read him for quick reads and now it's becoming a chore for them?

I haven't read anything by him that was an exercise to read due to length.

What is your thoughts on Stephen King? Do you like his work?

#SundayQuestions: Which book do you keep telling yourself you'll read but you probably won't?

Originally, this book was Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. Simply because of curiosity of it. But I've read Anthem of hers hated it and don't ever want to read anything from her again. It was torture and I feel anything longer by her would kill me.

But for me the book series that fits this is Harry Potter by JK Rowling. Not because I feel like I am too old to read it. Just I feel I missed the time where this book would have been one of my favorites.

I wasn't allowed to read it when I was younger. My family was in its blossoming church and conservative life when it came out. Of course, the belief that this book was evil and full of witchcraft held strongly in my church. My dad even went to school and had it removed from her classes whole class reading -- they had to pick something else to read.

I've recently read the first book I think last year or the year before. I feel I would have loved the hell out of this as a kid. But it's not something I will actively try to finish.

No, I don't even like the movies all that much.

Which book do you keep telling yourself you'll read but you probably won't?

#SundayQuestions: Which book should never have been turned into a film?

geralt

Is this question asking me which book should never have been made into a movie? Was this question originally after Name A Movie That is Better than the Book, but was moved. So here it is being asked further down and seems out of place.

Note: The post's question & what is in the image is purposefully changed. I just didn't feel like changing the image for this blog. If I am incorrect in what this is asking then OH WELL. Here we are. Also if this question isn't asking me what I think it is....oop. 

So, a book that I believe should have never been turned into a movie. For me books that became movies and shouldn't have happened: Eragon & The Da Vinci Code. Love Tom Hanks but hated the movie.

Reason for Eragon: I only kind of liked the book and the movie was worse. It was irksome.

The Da Vinci Code: Again, love Tom Hanks, hate this movie & the book. For some reason my teacher for our Bible History class in high school (I went to a public school.) ...thought this was relevant to the class. Just torture.

#SundayQuestions: Have you ever read a book that's made you hungry? Cookbooks are excluded

x

I am taking this question as -- has a book ever want to try what the characters are eating or try a new food. Not actual rumble in the tummy pooh bear hungry kind of thing.

The books by Sarah Addison Allen has tempted me to try to make a food or eat a food involving flowers.

All due to her weird descriptive need to have food in I believe all her books. They have in some way or another tempted me to try something.

I'm allergic to flowers so I'm not sure what will happen if I eat a flower. So, that has helped stall this adventure.

Do you eat flowers? Or -- has a non-cookbook book made you hungry?

#SundayQuestions: How many physical books do you own?

x

I own a lot of books. Majority of the physical books I own are children lit. I am a certified elementary teacher so I bought a lot of books from Goodwill. It's so I will have a fully stocked classroom library when I get my own classroom.

I don't have my own classroom. I am struggling to obtain a full-time teaching position.

How many books do you own? Too many to count?

Thanks for stopping by :)

#SundayQuestions: Favorite Reading Snack?

x

This question is from this blog post. It's supposed be done with people sending you #'s through messages on Tumblr. But this isn't Tumblr and I have no problem with answering questions no one has ever asked for.

My favorite snacks to eat while reading are things I don't have to fully look at. Such as popcorn or packaged things that you can grab and pop into your mouth. Easy peasy kind of things.

Majority of my time though I don't eat while I am reading because I'm too far gone in the book.

Do you eat while you read?

#SundayQuestions: Which book has been with you to the most places?

I know this question is targeting physical individual books. But since most of my books live inside my phone or tablet. They go with me everywhere. Whether it's to work, on walks or to the bathroom... my books are with me everywhere.

So, where do you and your book most frequent together?

Question  came from Justyourtypicalbookblog.blogspot.com. From a list of questions out of one of those questionnaires. 

#SundayQuestions: Name a book you acquired in some interesting way.

My aunt would give us stolen Goosebump books from her job when I was in kindergarten/first grade. You know the warning in a book if you've received a book with no cover that it was given illegally? Yeah, I didn't understand that warning until my aunt started getting books for us that way.

I just found out why this was a thing from googling it just now for this blog post. I didn't understand why that was a tell-tale sign that a book was illegal. But is it illegal if you keep the books without selling them? I didn't find the answer.

A stripped book is a mass market paperback that has been stripped of its cover in order to be pulped and recycled as a result of lack of sales. The covers are returned to the publisher as evidence that the books have been destroyed and the books are discarded or recycled into paper or cardboard products. However, some stripped books end up back on the marketplace, and are sold at places like flea markets.

Have you received a book or books in some interesting way?

#SundayQuestions: Which book character would you switch places with?

pixel2013

Dear GOD, I can't think of anyone that I would want to trade places with. Most of the characters I like go through hell or watch everyone they love die gruesome deaths. I have enough gruesome and unnecessary deaths in my life than want to jump into a characters life and experience this WORSE than real life.

I read a lot of science fiction, fantasy / paranormal things. I don't want to live in worlds where someone I know is the person who saves the world and loses everything. Or, be that character and watch everyone I know and love die while accomplishing that goal.

The need for adventure or magical events isn't strong with me because they usually include more suffering than I would feel I could handle.
