wordsarethebonesofmylovers's questions:

1. Sometimes a book looks/sounds too exciting to wait to start it. Do you read multiple books at a time/start books before you finish others?

I try to read only one book at a time, however, sometimes I do start multiple books either because I can't get into one of them, so I'm pacing myself, or when I was in school I was reading for class and for fun on the side.

2. Do you have to read a book before seeing a movie adaptation?

Not really. If I don't have time to read the book before I see the movie, I don't stress out over it. But if I can, then I will.

3. What book have you read the most times?

Probably the Protector of the Small series by Tamora Pierce.

4. Who is your favorite poet?

I don't have one. >_<  I love poetry, but I just don't read it that often.

5. Is there an author whose work you don’t like? If so, who?

Meg Cabbot I've tried to read several of her books, I just couldn't, at all.

6. Do you have multiple copies of any of your books?

I have 5 copies of Sherlock Holmes, 3 in English and 2 in Russian.

I have to copies of Game of Thrones, but I usually end up giving them away. I can't afford multiple copies. I do have e-versions of some of my print books. I buy them if they're on sale.

7. Do you have/use a local library or do you prefer just to buy books?

I go to the library all the time. I can't afford to buy books at the moment. And I'm really stingy, so I hate wasting money on books I won't like. So sometimes I end up buying the book after I read the library copy.

8. What’s the first book you always recommend to people?

Finnikin of the Rock, anything by Tamora Pierce.

9. What was your favorite book when you were younger or the first book you remember reading?

The first books I read were in Russian, so I doubt anyone would recognize them. But some of my first English loves was the Magic Tree House series.

10. Do you mind dog-earing/underlining in your books or do you try to keep them pristine?

I try to keep my books pristine.
