Caro’s Questions

Which TV Show would you recommend to fans of your favorite book?

           BBC’s Sherlock

 

What was your latest 5 Star read?

          Be Happy! by Dr Rebecca Ray

 

Which book series do you definitely want to get to this year?

           I’m not really sure. I want the next Drizzt book, but that the latest in a long series.

 

What’s your stance on DNF’ing books?

           It is very rare for me to give up on a book because my OCD demands I finish it. Now, there are books I’ve wanted to torch after I was done with them…

 

Have you ever buddy read a book? If not, would you like to?

           No I haven’t, and I probably wouldn’t want to. I don’t really know much about how they work, but I’m not a strong people person. More like cat level anti-social. I don’t like feeling I have to keep up. I’d rather go at my own pace.

 

How many days does it typically take you to finish a book?

           Anywhere from 2-5 days. Two to three is average. One or less for children’s books.

 

What’s the last book that made you cry & why?

           Starving Season by Dr Seang M Seng. It is his experiences living through the Khmer Rouge rule, and it’s horrific to realise people treat others this way. Also, because I realised, at least among all those I asked, very few people knew much about it.

 

Name your latest favorite character.

          Voyvod Karyl, The Dinosaur Lords

 

Tell me three of your favorite bookish things.

           Bookmarks! Bookish magnets. Fanart.

 

What book always makes you happy?

           Happy as in I love reading it or getting one- any Mary Russell book
