It's time for another Book Blogger Hop, courtesy of Crazy for Books!
"If you could physically put yourself into a book or series…which one would it be and why?"
Hmm, that's a tough choice. I guess I'd have to go with Clive Barker's Weaveworld. The world of the carpet is just so beautiful, so magical, and so surreal.
"give us five BOOK RELATED silly facts about you."
- I physically cannot leave the house without a book, even just to run to the store. It gives me a panic attack . . . it's like forgetting your keys or your purse.
- I'm either obsessive-compulsive, or a literary completist (take your pick). If I like a book, I absolutely have to explore everything else the author has ever written, hoping the magic will work for me again.
- I am, indeed, a bookslut . . . I cannot say 'no' to a good book, no matter how much I can't afford either the money to buy it, or the time to read it.
- I look at my library as a form of insurance - I'd rather have a book on my shelf that I'll never get a chance to read, than not have it on my shelf and want to read it some day.
- Some of my favourite reads are books that it took me 2, 3, or even 4 attempts to get into.
"Where is you favorite place to buy or swap books?"
Oh, I'll make a point of stopping at any used bookstore that I happen to find in my travels. Sadly, most of the online book-swap sites don't support Canadian readers, but I've always found thriftbooks.com to be a great place to trade in my used reads.
As always, I urge you to hop around to some new blogs, tag along with some new friends, and find some great new reviews to follow. I always find something new to delight me!

ReplyDeleteIf I buy online I use thriftbooks. I love the no shipping.

Hopping on through via my google reader (because I am already a follower, yay!). I absolutely love your 5 facts, and it makes me feel a lot better to know I'm not the only one!
ReplyDeleteExcept for number 1. I am totally okay with leaving the house to go to work without a book. BUT.. I work in a library, so there's always something I can grab and read.
Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your fact 4, the "library as a form of insurance." My eReaders are full of insurance. :-)

I wish I could shop at indie book stores I just don't live neat any. The closest book store is 30 min away and its Barnes and Noble, so online it is.
ReplyDeleteHave a Great Weekend!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Glad I could make you smile. :) I always have to leave with a book, too! And my phone with my kindle app. I feel incomplete without a book with me.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic weekend!

Hopping buy. I think I agree with all of your five points, especially number 1. I've gone back home because I've forgotten a book. Silly I know, but I'm okay with them ruling my life!
ReplyDeleteHope you had an awesome week.
