Friday Fiver: Bookworm
1. What was the last book you read?
I just finished Josh Lanyon's Adrien English Mysteries series. It was enjoyable, even if the cop boyfriend of the narrator was a giant asshole douchebag for most of the series. That's kind of par for the course in Josh Lanyon's books so it's not like it was unexpected.
2. What book(s) are you reading now?
I don't know yet. I just went through a spree of reading gay cops/detectives, so it's probably time for something different. Maybe some gay cowboys. ;) But I'm also way behind on my historical romance reading, so I might read the new Nicole Jordan book this weekend too.
I'm reading SOOOOO much thanks to my kindle. I've already read over 30 books/novellas for the year. That's a lot for me, since my free time is usually taken up with other things. But I've bought a ton of books since Christmas and I'm trying to work my way through them.
3. Do you have a library card? Do you use it?
Uhhhhh, somewhere in a drawer I do indeed have a library card. But I haven't stepped into a library in over 10 years. I like to own things way too much. Reading a book and then giving it back is kind of a weird concept for me.
4. How do you choose a new book to read?
Yeah, not gonna lie, the cover has to be eye-catching. Or at least not repulsive. But the book also has to be something I'm vaguely interested in. And I have a list of writers that are always a must buy. I also read a bunch of book blogs, get recs from friends and haunt the Recommended for You sections on Amazon.
But when I'm specifically choosing what to read, it's usually what I'm in the mood for. Which really could be anything.
5. We all had to read books in school. Which was your favorite? Your least favorite? Do you think you would feel differently about them if you read them now?
Did I have a favorite book from school reading? I really can't say that I do. Oh wait. I think we read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein for class and I do enjoy that book quite a bit. I re-read it a few years ago and still enjoyed it.
My least favorite was definitely Thackeray's Vanity Fair. Thankfully, I was able to stop reading it about halfway through. It was dreadfully long and boring. Can't say that I think that would change if I read it now. Actually, you couldn't make me read it, even at gun point.
