      I don't write DNF reviews as a general rule - it's hard to be constructive about a book I really didn't like, and it makes me mad even thinking about the book let alone writing about it!

      I just shelve them and forget the whole thing ever happened!

      I'm totally not the person to recommend fun, lighthearted reads, but I agree that The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight certainly fits that bill.

      I hope she feels better soon - big <3

      I'm not a great follower of upcoming releases, but I'm desperately seeking Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake!

      Maybe not weird, but I'm a hoarder. I've given away one of my own books that I can ever remember, and that was because I had no room in my luggage for it! Even if I hate a book, I can't bear to get rid of it!

      Ebooks. I love physical books, but I can get so many more ebooks for the same price AND I can take them everywhere I go!

      Only reviews. I guess that doesn't count? ;-)

      I like hosting 'choose your own' giveaways - about 50% of the time people choose books I would never include in my giveaways so it appeals to a wider audience.

      I like entering both - I won't enter giveaways for books I already own of course, or books that don't interest me, but I'm sure if I won a 'choose your own' giveaway I wouldn't have ANY problems choosing what I wanted!

      No there'll always be a market for physical books I think - its too big of a 'tradition' to just switch.

      Even as a massive ebook lover I still cannot resist the lure of paper books!

      Here in the Netherlands, maybe 100.... But back in storage in Australia there's at least another 200 or so !

      When your TBR literally topples over, maybe. But then again, could always just start TBR pile #2!

      Keep it. It's your blog and your opinion so you have every right to put your views out there.

      And the author getting mad about a three star review really should work on their professionalism.

      I've been a blogger before (I started a blog about being an expat 4 years ago), but book blogging is the first time I've taken it seriously. I've been doing that for 6 months

      Clutter! It looks messy, the page takes longer to load and I can't find your follow options.

      And clashing colours! I love colour and I dont mind light text on a dark background, but bright neons just make me click out.

      35 Miles From Shore which is non fiction about an airplane ditching near Barbados.
      Why is that strange ? Because I have a huge fear of flying!
      Maybe more stupid than strange ......

      Both - I have some questions that I ask everyone and then I add some specific to the author/book.
      It's nice to have variety :)

      Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson. I needed some humour!
