booking through thursday (on saturday): reading memePosted by sassenach in Bookworm, Q & AThis is a pretty long post, so I’m putting it behind a cut.
This is a timely BTT question because I’ve just recently started listening to Books on the Nightstand, a really fantastic podcast about books and reading. I found it a couple weeks ago when searching iTunes for new podcasts. BOTN was one of the top results when I searched for “books” and “reading.” I downloaded a couple of episodes and was hooked. It’s hosted by Ann and Michael, who are sales reps for Random House. I like their opinions about books because they clearly know what they’re talking about and they’ve recommended dozens and dozens of books I’m not familiar with, but would love to read. Most of the recent additions to my To Read list on Goodreads have come from BOTN and I highly recommend the podcast if you’re a bookworm like me. 1) What’s your favorite magazine? 2) What book are you currently reading? 3) What’s the worst book you ever read? 4) What makes a book perfect for you? 5) If you could buy any book right now, which one would it be? I read more books in 2009 than I had in 2008, so I have quite a few to choose from. Here are my favorites from this year:
1. What song do you play the most? 2. What song do you play the least? 30 Seconds to Mars – A Modern Myth (0 plays) 3. What’s the last song you added? Lady GaGa & Beyonce – Telephone 4. What’s your favorite playlist? I haven’t made a playlist in a really long time. I lost all my playlists when my iTunes 7 went wonky, so I haven’t really made any since then, even though I’ve since upgraded iTunes and it’s working properly again. 5. What kind of iPod (or MP3 player) do you have? I have an iPhone 3GS and an iPod Touch. Lately I’ve been using the iPhone pretty exclusively, but I need to transfer my new music purchases onto the iPod. Friday Five for 13 November 2009: http://community.livejournal.com/thefridayfive/75517.html 1. Do you believe in ghosts? 2. Do you believe in extraterrestrials? 3. Do you believe in mythical creatures (unicorns, vampires, etc.)? 4. Do you believe in a higher power (God, Allah, Buddha, Hecate, Zeus, etc.)? 5. Do you believe in the power of crystals? (Sorry if the formatting [or lack thereof] is slightly wonky; our Internet is down due to the nor’easter, and I’m posting this from the WordPress app on my iPhone. I don’t see options for inserting links or bold/italic/etc. The app is rather basic.) Another test post…just upgraded some plugins, seeing if they’re working again. |
