THE RULES:
1) Thank the person who nominated you and add a link to their blog. (Thank you, Amy)
2) Answer the questions asked on this post — don’t stress it’s quick!
3) Nominate and notify some peeps.

 

1) WHAT ARE YOUR TOP 3 BOOK PET PEEVES?

• Movie book covers! I truly despise them and always, always try to ensure I buy the original covers.
• Books that look unread! OK so naturally I don’t mean books I’ve recently purchased but I just can’t stand when someone says they’ve truly loved a book but it looks hardly read – I’m definitely rough with my books because I want them to look as loved as they are.
• When publishers refuse to publish things in paperback! I can barely hold hardbacks so paperbacks are essential for me.

 

2) NAME A PERFECT READING SPOT.

When in Ireland on a Hen Do in 2017 I fell in love with the most perfect reading spot (minus one thing). A beautiful large window seat, white with cushions and blankets, looking out on a beautiful landscape (hills or forests preferable). With bookcases next to the window (this is what was missing) – wooden cases lined with hundreds upon hundreds of books. It’s without a shadow of a doubt something I would adore in a future home of my own.

 

 

3) GIVE 3 READING CONFESSIONS.

1. I dog-ear books! This is likely unsurprising given I just said I love books to look read but I know it’s often frowned upon in the book community.
2. I have over 381 unread books but I can not stop myself buying more.
3. I have been known to re-buy books in series if the covers do not match the others!

 

4) WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED DURING A BOOK?

I’m not going to lie I cry at most books! The most recent being Big Bones by Laura Dockrill – it was very inspiring and hit very close to home.

 

5) NUMBER OF BOOKS ON YOUR BEDSIDE TABLE?

1. The World of Sex by Henry Miller
2. Graffiti by Savannah Brown
3. A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle
4. Harry Potter: the Artifact Vault
5. Am I Ugly? By Michelle Elman
6. Under Rose-Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall
7. Body Positive Power by Megan Jayne Crabbe
8. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling
9. When The Curtain Falls by Carrie Hope Fletcher

(oops, that’s a lot!)

 

6) FAVORITE READING SNACK?

Tea (always), hot chocolate & biscuits

 

7) WHAT ARE 3 BOOKS YOU’D RECOMMEND TO ANYONE?

Oh my gosh, I hate these questions they’re so difficult to answer!

1. Big Bones by Laura Dockrill
2. We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
3. Wild by Cheryl Strayed

 

8) PROVIDE A PICTURE OF YOUR BOOKSHELF.

 

9) HOW MUCH DO BOOKS MEAN TO YOU IN 3 WORDS?

Everything, everything, everything. (Is this cheating?)
