Book Blogging Survey Answers

Amy from My Friend Amy sent all of the official blog participants these survey questions.  I thought I’d answer them and share them with you.

1) What is the craziest place you’ve ever read?

I suppose the craziest place would be wherever I can take my PDA with me.  The last year or so I’ve read ebooks on my Palm.  It’s especially nice when I’m working on a book review for a publication.  Though nothing can replace the feel and weight of a book in my hands, they don’t always fit well into my purse.

2) How many books are in your TBR pile?

At last count LibrayThing had me at 137 books.  They are scattered throughout the house.  I have two bookshelves by our fireplace with TBR books and three boxes in the basement.  There is a box of books unaccounted for that I haven’t been able to locate so there may be more than 136.

3) How many hours a week do you spend on reading?

I try to read for 30 – 60 minutes a day.  On the weekends I can usually find more time to read.

4) How many hours a week do you spend blogging?

When I first began it was only a handful of hours.  The giveaway posts announcing giveaways on other sites and blogs used to take the most time.  You wouldn’t believe how hard it can be to find recent book giveaways listed on Google.  Now I confess I cheat a little on giveaway posts… I usually go to LibraryThing first to see if there is anything my regular site visitors might want to read.

5) What’s been the best experience you’d had since you started blogging about books?

The best experience would be the comments.  They are nearly always surprising in some fashion.  Sometimes authors stop by because they’ve seen my name on some of their book tour stops.  Or someone on the other side of the world found me through a Google search.

  1. I got the idea from someone else to post my answers here. There were a few people doing it throughout the week. It wasn’t something that had occurred to me until I saw someone else doing it.

  2. I usually try and make up for lost reading time on the weekend as well. I was going to the park and reading for an hour at lunch, but now that it;s getting colder that will be hard to do. It’s funny how blogging just gets bigger and bigger as far as a time commitment. It’s so addictive like that.

  3. I know what you mean by the blogging time commitment, Nicole. At the beginning it’s easy to dash things off then after a while more time gets put into it to make it have more depth.
