I'm enjoying reading everyone's answers to this meme. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I like Bourbon biscuits :) :)
ReplyDeleteI did this meme too! :)
One of these days I'm going to get around to reading an Enid Blyton. I managed to miss her completely when I was a child.
ReplyDeleteInteresting - I would go crazy if I didn't look up every unfamiliar word.
ReplyDeleteYou did really well with the short answers! I don't look up words either. I'm amazed at the people that do, honestly, I've always just guessed. I get too annoyed to be parted from the book to find a dictionary/go online. :p
ReplyDeletethis looks like fun I should have a post up later today.
ReplyDeleteI am liking this meme...it is fun.
ReplyDelete10 books bought at one time...ahh..that is my dream! *smile*
short and to the point. I tend to babble in these memes. great answers!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous! How did you get away with buying 10 books at once?
ReplyDeleteI didn't bother trying to write short answers and ended up doing my quick list in pictures.
Great answers. This is a fun meme :)
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that there are few of us stand-alone readers!!
ReplyDeleteFun reading your answers!
We are very similar!
ReplyDeleteI am a little envious of the ten books at once...must resist urge to do the same. I enjoyed reading your answers.
ReplyDelete10 books, wow, nice :)..I bought 7 in the last 2 weeks, bad me , lol
ReplyDeleteI love drinking tea when I'm reading, too. Ten book shopping spree - love it!
ReplyDeleteTEN BOOKS!!? I wish I could buy that many at a time!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the room to organize my books!
ReplyDeleteI am curious to see what you think of Paul Auster. I have read some books of him and I do like his style but it's a little dark in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI love snacking while I eat too. Don't drink a whole lot as I tend to be a little clumsy. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading your answers...i should start organizing like you....and 10 books!!! you go girl!!!!!!

I like the Tintin comics a lot and I hope you enjoy them, too.
ReplyDeleteFun answers!
ReplyDeleteI liked reading your answers. Don't think I've ever bought 10 books at once, but I'd sure like to!!
ReplyDeleteYes,I love tea as well. Particularly in the winters. 10 books - good for you. Enjoyed reading your answers.
ReplyDeleteGreat answers!
ReplyDeleteTea and books are such a wonderful combination! I'm glad to come across another marker, too. Most of the people I know are horrified when they learn that I sometimes write in my books.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of 10 books at once
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who sometimes lays a book flat open. I don't feel so bad now. :-)
ReplyDelete10 books?? That must have been a very good day. :-D
ReplyDeleteGreat Meme...loved hearing about your reading habits.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your answers. I'll have to check out Enid Blyton for The Girl.

I love to drink tea while I read, too. I even have a lovely ginger tea from Tetley which I guy at a local Indian store; it's so delicious! I like Enid Blyton books, too, although I never read her when I was a child (unfortunately, I didn't know of her!).
