Please welcome to the blog, Michelle Clay!! She's got some great
confessions for us today. Please Enjoy :)
1. I claimed to LOVE a book series even though I really, really
hated it. A friend of mine was reading a very
popular YA series that she absolutely adored. Knowing I love that kind of
paranormal creature, she kept begging me to read it. After lying about liking
it, I ended up having to suffer through the entire series and two of the
movies.
2 I read the entire Harry Potter series to
my kid. Even after he was old enough to read by himself, it was one of
those together things and was special. It had nothing to do with the different
voices for different characters, I’m sure! Those books (and the movies) were
our special thing. We waited in line for the next book/movie, etc.
3. One of my earliest and most favorite memories of reading was with
my mom. I recall lying on the couch with her as she read one of those
little golden books to me. It was about a T-Rex. When I was older, we’d go to
the bookstore together. It was our special Saturday outing.
4. I secretly hate when books are made into movies. If a movie comes
out and I see it, especially if I love it, I don’t read the book. Same goes for
any book I’ve read and loved. I don’t watch the movie.
5. My favorite book is... That’s an unfair question and I usually draw a total blank.
There’s so many that I like and love!
6. I spent most of my senior year writing my first novel. I was also very mortified when my sociology teacher
confiscated it. When she gave it back, she said it was good, but had too many
expletives. I still have it…somewhere. It’s never going to see the light of
day!
7. Sometimes before I start a book, I flip to a random page in the
middle and read it first. I have no idea why I do
that!
8. I am a book hoarder. It doesn’t matter if it’s electronic or paper… I have bunches
and bunches. Sad thing is, I probably will never finish them all.
9. I give a book at least a chapter to hook me. After that, I have
no qualms throwing it aside. Sometimes if I really want to give it a chance or
it is supposedly a good book, I’ll give it a little longer.
10. I have lived in my current town for about 5 years. I have not once been to the library. I am actually kind of ashamed
to admit that. LOL
