Bookworm Tag

Thank you Allthingspurple for passing this tag to me. Sorry it took me so long to post it.

This is a long one. Here goes :

Do you remember how you developed a love for reading?
I used to travel very often and to past time, I picked up reading.

What are some books you read as a child?
That is so long ago! I can't remember but I do remember one, Enid Blyton,

What is your favourite genre?
Crime, in Chinese or English.

Do you have a favourite novel?
No.

Where do you usually read?
I usually read outside their enrichment center or at home, on my bed or in the toilet. Sometimes, we read together in their playroom cum study room.

When do you usually read?
I read while waiting for my kids' enrichment lessons to end or during our silent reading time at home.

Do you usually have more than one book you are reading at a time?
No.

Do you read nonfiction in a different way or place than you read fiction?
No.

Do you buy most of the books you read, or borrow them, or check them out of the library?
I used to buy books more than 10 yrs ago, till I came across this book store in my neighborhood market. Now, he knows what kind of books I like and will recommend it to me. I can sell the books back to him at a lower price and if I like the book, I keep it. For Chinese books, I borrow from the library.

Do you keep most of the books you buy?
I kept them till last year I invited our nieces and nephews to my house to choose what they want.

If you have children, what are some of the favorite books you have shared with them? Were they some of the same ones you read as a child?
Yes, Enid Blyton, That's the only one I remember

Do you keep a TBR (to be read) list?
Yes. Those under Peter Robinson. I have 2 or 3 more of his books that I haven't read.

What’s next?
I'm still waiting for the vendor to bring in the other books from Peter Robinson.

What books would you like to reread?
I usually don't reread unless I finish reading the book that I have.

Who are your favourite authors?
Henning Mankell, Peter Robinson, Hakan Nesser and the Chinese author who wrote Wesley stories.
