Bookish Questions – Your current favorite book?
What is your current favorite book? I have a really bad habit of answering this question with “the one I’m reading.” And, while it is true that I’m always enjoying the books I’m reading the most, I recently read a book of poetry that I am in love with. Outside of Shel Silverstein, poetry has…

What is your least favorite genre? For me, Romance is probably the fictional genre I like least. I don’t mind a romance, if it’s well written, but I find that most romance novels are full of tropes and unnecessary sex scenes. Plus, I find that sex scenes are much more engaging when played out on…

Are any of your friends readers? I would like to think that a large number of my friends are readers, but as I get older, and particularly as I read more, I have realized how little most of my friends read. Don’t get me wrong, I have a few friends who read all the time.…
