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!
-
Music I know well - so I'm not distracted by it.

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! -
At the risk of sounding like everyone else - sleep!

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!
-
Usually every day, sometimes twice if I get my schedule confused!

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 :) -
Probably Incarnate by Jodi Meadows

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