      Some just don't want to understand/don't care and other are afraid of saying something that will upset people when that wasn't their intention.

      Yes. A few in my ears, my nose, right lower lip and tongue. I also use to have a smiley piercing, but took it out a few years ago.

      Yes, but the author's last name and then by series or release date.

      I like some, but they're not my favourite. If there are faces, I prefer when they're obscured.

      City of Bones. I wouldn't say hate, but after it being recommended so many times, I was surprise I didn't enjoy it. I felt the exact moment the story was being stretched out. I'm going to continue the series because I've been told it gets better, but I'm reluctant.

      A lot of the classics. I keep saying I will, but don't see it happening any time soon.

      I stick a mini post-it in the back of every book I have with my Surname, date of purchase—or of it's sent—date arrived and where or who from. I got the quirk from my dad. He write in his books and I use to, but can't seem to bring myself to do it any more. I like the idea of picking up a book and being able to say when I got and where in 20 years like I can when I open my dad's books, especially the one's that are a lot older than me.

      I really take books on the go because I'm afraid they'll get damaged.

      I like the ending in the movie for Blood & Chocolate better than the book, but the book's ending is more unpredictable.

      Yes. I see the advantages of ebooks, but despite loving everything tech, still don't enjoy reading an ebook as much as I do a physical one and only read ebooks when the book I want isn't available as a book.

      I don't think so, but my family seems to disagree :-)

      All that matter is no matter what is described—how far fetched it is—that when turning the pages it's a reality for me in the moment.

      Not necessarily, but I do like the familiarity, especially since the places I've lived and been are rarely the settings in a book. There was this particular book I bought—the second book in a series despite not really enjoying the first as much as I hoped, to give it another chance. Then out of all the usual Caribbean islands, the lesser know island where I'm form was the setting for a certain event in the book, but it became obvious very quickly that the author had never been to the island and didn't do any research. The beaches were described as having golden sand (or a similar description), but my island is the exception to the norm and has what's called black sand (looks more like graphite silver). That was kind of disappointing and the fact that everything described wasn't at all like my island, but just the generic description of a Caribbean island that people who haven't been imagine.

      No, but I've bought a book and while it was en route found out I won a giveaway for the same book. They were signed, otherwise I would of passed on winning.
