Whitney’s Questions: 

1: What is your go-to book genre and why?

This is a tough one because I am such a mood reader! But when all else fails, a contemporary usually does the trick.

2: Do you buy/collect bookish merch?

Yes! I am a Harry Potter collector, which means that I try to pick up anything with Harry Potter on or in it. Aside from that I just collect books in general, but that isn’t nearly as interesting :]

3: Do you enjoy e-mail or snail mail more?

I mean I personally enjoy a good letter/card via snail mail :]

4: What is the most exciting place you have ever visited?

I think one of the first times I visited Chicago was extremely exciting for me. And now it is such a huge part of my life (and my potential future home!)

5: Would you ever go on a bookish pilgrimage? If so, where and what author?

I am not sure I know what a ‘pilgrimage’ would entail so I don’t know how to answer this question!

6: What author have you read the most books by?

Yeesh. I mean obviously I have read 7 books by JK Rowling…I just can’t think of any other authors I may have read more from.

7: What is your favorite season?

8: How often do you post to your blog per week/month?

I try to post at least once a week (though sometimes it does get away from me). Which I guess in turn would mean that I post at least 3-4 times a month.

9: Where is your favorite place to read?

I like to read on the couch in my living room, or my front porch. Somewhere I won’t be distracted by people or screens.

10: What is your favorite thing to do, besides reading?

I like to watch movies or play board games with my family/friends.

11: How do you choose what to read next?

Since I am such a mood reader, I tend to just look at my bookshelf until something really jumps out at me. Most of the time I will see a spine of a book and know that I am in the mood for that kind of story.
