Sunday Stealing- Book tag


https://sundaystealing.blogspot.com/


 

Who is your favourite author?  As you know I have just started reading again, so I really enjoyed Mary Kubica, Liane Moriarty, Fannie Flagg and Louise Penny this summer.
What was the last book you read
?  Big Little Lies- Liane Moriarty


What book reminds you of your school days?The Friends We Keep by Jane Green reminded me of college a little bit.

What book releases are you looking forward to?  Well, I do not really keep up with those yet, but I do know Louise Penny released a new one a bit ago, but I am behind in that series and I plan to read them in order.


What movie releases are you looking forward to?  I believe The Night Circus is coming out in November.  I wouldn't mind seeing that...I am using a movie that was a book made into a movie.


What 3 books are you planning to read?  Little Fires Everywhere, Where the Crawdad's Sing, What Alice Forgot.


Have you ever damaged a book?  no

How long does it take you to read a book?  this summer when I could read more I read a book in about 3 days.  It is taking me 1-2 weeks now.  It is hard when your husband watches tv all of the time.


Books you haven’t finished?  I only did not finish one book over the summer and it was Just What Kind of Mother Are You?  I just couldn't get into it.


Popular books you didn’t like?  Maybe the one I just mentioned...other than that I usually enjoy the books I pick out.


Is there a book you wouldn’t tell people you were reading?  no, but I would not recommend some of the books I have read to certain people I know because of theme or genre or too much cursing, etc.


How many books do you own?  I own a lot of children's books for teaching, but not too many adult books.  I just check them out.  Josh owns several.  I can borrow his too.  Someone was asking if we borrowed each other's books.  I like some of the books he has read...Fannie Flagg, but he likes different genres than I do.  I really enjoy psychological thrillers and he really shouldn't be reading those.


Are you a fast or slow reader?  it depends on if I actually have time to read or not.
Do you read better in your head our out loud
? in my head.  I give my characters voices and I can see the book as a movie in my mind as I am reading.  I dreamed about my book characters some over the summer.

  1. We do form very definite ideas of what characters look like or sound like, don't we? I think that's part of the disappointment in seeing a movie after reading the book...it never matches up with what I've imagined.
    Have a great day, Lori!

  2. I thought the last question was slightly odd because I don't know anybody who doesn't read in their head. Like you, I like to imagine the world my characters are lving in, how they speak and what they look like. My head is an amazing place when I am reading a decent book.

  3. Oh my goodness, I lucked in on a audio book by Fannie Flagg that we listened to on the road to the beach a few years ago it was such a hoot. It really made the trip fly by!!

  4. I interpreted that last question as eyeball reading or audio listening. I listen about as much as I eyeball read because I like knitting and listening.

    1. Oh ok. I do not know when I would be able to listen to an audio book, but I would live to try it one day.

  5. Its amazing to see how people interpret voices or characters or even have ideas of how they would look! Enjoyed your answers a lot.

    1. I’ve read quite a few books that I just didn’t get the choices made for the cast.

  6. I loved the HBO Big Little Lies. I'm afraid that knowing who did it and would just ruin the book for me, which is kinda sad, isn't it?

    1. I am the same way. If I see the movie first, I will not read the book. I do not have HBO, but I really want to see this show. ♥

  7. I am glad you are reading again. It's fundamentally good for you.

  8. The Night Circus. That sounds interesting to me because that is what I call my job.

    (I work third shift.)
