Hi all! Welcome to another lovely edition of Thursday Thirteen.

Instead of listing off more books, authors, etc, I wanted to get your responses for a few questions I have. So feel free to answer any or all of the questions in the comments section or use your answers to these questions for your own Thursday Thirteen.

If you opt for the latter, please leave a link in the comments section letting me know you’ve done so.

Almost Friday!

Thirteen Questions For You About Your Books

1. What book(s) was(were) used to teach you to read?
2. What was your favourite book as a child?
3. What is your favourite book now?
4. What is your favourite genre?
5. Do you like to stick to your favourite genre or do you make a point of getting books you wouldn’t normally read?
6. Has a book ever made you want to write a book?
7. What was the last book you read? Did you like it?
8. What are you reading right now? Do you like it?
9. Have you ever hated a book? Why?
10. Have you ever not finished a book?
11. How many books do you read in the average month?

The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!
