I'm enjoying reading everyone's answers to this meme. :)
Awesome! I like Bourbon biscuits :) :)
I 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.
Interesting - I would go crazy if I didn't look up every unfamiliar word.
You 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
this looks like fun I should have a post up later today.
I am liking this meme...it is fun.
10 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!
I am so jealous! How did you get away with buying 10 books at once?
I didn't bother trying to write short answers and ended up doing my quick list in pictures.
Great answers. This is a fun meme :)
I find it interesting that there are few of us stand-alone readers!!
Fun reading your answers!
We are very similar!
I am a little envious of the ten books at once...must resist urge to do the same. I enjoyed reading your answers.
10 books, wow, nice :)..I bought 7 in the last 2 weeks, bad me , lol
I love drinking tea when I'm reading, too. Ten book shopping spree - love it!
TEN BOOKS!!? I wish I could buy that many at a time!!
I would love to have the room to organize my books!
I 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.
I love snacking while I eat too. Don't drink a whole lot as I tend to be a little clumsy. :)
Enjoyed reading your answers...i should start organizing like you....and 10 books!!! you go girl!!!!!!
here are mine:

I like the Tintin comics a lot and I hope you enjoy them, too.
Fun answers!
I liked reading your answers. Don't think I've ever bought 10 books at once, but I'd sure like to!!
Yes,I love tea as well. Particularly in the winters. 10 books - good for you. Enjoyed reading your answers.
Great answers!
Tea 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.
I love the idea of 10 books at once
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sometimes lays a book flat open. I don't feel so bad now. :-)
10 books?? That must have been a very good day. :-D
Great Meme...loved hearing about your reading habits.
I 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!).
