Heather tagged me for this one. She did a bookish take on it. I think I’ll do the same.
1- Until my kids made me re-read Harry Potter half a dozen times I used to never, ever re-read books.
2 – I got hooked on manga. Yeah, big secret there.
3 – I frequently re-read manga. It still don’t generally re-read romance, SF, or classics.
4 – I don’t like mainstream at all. I find it boring and tedious.
5 – At one point I convinced myself I shouldn’t read anything at all because it was cutting into my writing time. I made myself stop. Instead of writing more, I ended up watching TV.
6 – I used to make myself finish any book I started reading, no matter how bad it was. If I tried to put it down and walk away, I’d go nuts trying to figure out what was going to happen next, even if I didn’t care while actually reading.
7 – Now I don’t bother to finish about a third of all the books I pick up. If I get curious enough, I simply skip to the end.
Who to tag? This is a hard one for me. Ok, getting REAL random here:
Vicki, Library Lady, Darla, Forgetful One, Kate, Sharon, Marina.
I picked each of you because I know you are readers.
