“What are you most looking forward to this autumn season – A particular book release? Halloween? The leaves changing color? Cooler temperatures? A vacation?” As far as books are concerned, I’ve been looking forward to the Readers Imbibing in Peril challenge, hosted by Carl at Stainless Steel Droppings, since spring. I discovered this two-month (September-October) [...]

“What’s the LONGEST book you’ve ever read?” (religious texts don’t count) Pretty sure the longest book I’ve ever read is one of the Harry Potter books–whichever is the longest is the lengthiest book I’ve read to date.

In the winter, when it gets cold out, I will sometimes drink hot chocolate instead I suppose I would drink wine while reading, but I find [...]
