Random Question: Do books ever make you hungry?

Ok this might seem like a super silly question but it isn’t that far out of the box is it? Sometimes when I’m reading a book especially one of my historical books and they talk about a big fancy meal I can feel my mouth water. In fact just read a bunch of stuff about a meal heavy on deserts and of course that makes me want to dig into a cake or something. That isn’t helped at all by the fact that Tesco has these wonderful cheap little cakes 😂. I know they aren’t top of the line bakery or anything they are a bit dry but flavor wise I like them especially the lemon drizzle and Victoria sponge. Yummy yummy. And now just typing this has made me want one 😂. How about you with food?

Random Question: What’s your take on self help books?

For me this week I need to be short and sweet again, as I’ve been being a bit of a tourist. A bit of Rome being read in Rome.

Random Question: Hardcopy or Kindle for plane travel?

I am off and traveling tomorrow! Can hardly wait and have so much to get done! I haven’t even finished packing yet, which is awful lol. But that does lead me to ask when you travel do you prefer to have a few hard copy books in your carry on or the good old electronic kindle these days?

I hope no one is having issues with accessing the site please let me know if if you are so I can contact the host. I believe it’s just my computer acting up so this one is from the phone.

Random Question: do you ever feel obligated to read a book because you have read something else by the author ?

I’ll answer more in depth when I have my computer sorted out. I know sometimes I do feel like I should try other work by and Author. I felt that way over liking the Twilight series but I really disliked The Host.

Random Question: What do you think of required reading in school?

I recently watched a comment thread while browsing for slime shop work lol, where some kids were complaining about required reading. They said every book on the list was boring ect. I remember really enjoying required reading in school. Sure not every book was a hit but many of them really helped ignite my love of the written word. I just could not understand the huge dislike. Of course I am sure some of it stems from not wanting to be told what to read. I think required reading is important. You never know which kid may be sparked to not only be online but really love books by reading one of the classics. So what do you think?

Random Question: If you couldn’t read anymore what would you do?

I know that there are other-ways to read other then traditionally just reading the words, but I think most of us in the book blog world read rather traditionally. What do you think you would do if all of a sudden you couldn’t do that anymore? I know I would have a nice big meltdown to start. Then once I was done with that I would probably start working on trying to find more narrators and readers that I like for audio books. I would have to learn to be less fussy about that.

Random Question: Series or stand alone which do you prefer?

This was a random question a friend asked me the other day when he noticed I have been reading more series books lately. When I have time to read that is, I am still so bad right now about finding the balance in my schedule. Anyways, I don’t pick series books over others on purpose or what seems to be on purpose for me but I do seem to be reading more. I enjoy the feeling of spending time with old friends and stories. There is something uniquely special when you get to get to know characters over the course of a series, especially if it is a long series.

I just noticed the last Musing Monday question was very poorly phrased. I as on Nyquil when I did it, sorry about that everyone.

Random Question: How to you pick what to bring with you for reading on a Holiday/Vacaction?

Choosing something to take with me on a vacation used to be a horrible experience for me, lol. When I was a kid I can remember being in tears because I could only take one or two books with us to the lake. Sometimes my parents took pity on me and put some more of my choices in their luggage, lol. It was a hard thing too even as I was older, especially when I was packed out on horse back trips. Lots of reading could be done but can’t bog down your gear. I know a few times I chose to bring a second book instead of a hairbrush, lol. Thankfully NOW we have devices that are tiny and can happily supply our whole library with us. I usually end up bringing a packup paperback though in case my device runs out of battery and I can’t charge, lol. How about you?
