From the excellent blog
Vicki welcome to Jaffareadstoo
and thanks for taking part in our
10 questions in 10 minutes....
What makes you want
to blog about books?
I love reading and always have done. My blog enables me to
reach a wider audience and share my love of books. I already have two health
blogs for my job as a health journalist, but I post on my reading blog far more
regularly!
What type of book
makes you happy?
A good psychological thriller with twist-and-turns and a
brilliant ending - it doesn't have to be a happy book, just a well-written one.
Which book have you
recommended the most?
Recently, it's between The Ice Twins (by SK Tremayne) and
The Dandelion Years (by Erica James)
Which is the best
book you received as a gift?
Years ago, when I was a teenager, my parents bought me a
whole series of American books on writing about forensics and crime, as this
was my ambition. I still have the whole series (and the ambition).
Which book has sent a
shiver down your spine?
Recently, this would be I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh.
Last year I re-read Stephen King's The Shining, which was still very creepy
second time round.
How many books do you
have, as yet unread, on your book shelves?
I have 280 books on my kindle waiting to be read, plus
another 20 or so real books. And I had better mention the 100 books sitting on
my Amazon wish list.
Tell me about a book
you’ve read more than three times?
I must have read a book more than once as a child. I
remember loving Nancy Drew, Agatha Christie and Willard Price books, and
then Stephen King, once I reached my teens. I currently have so many books
to read that I don't have time to read them more than once.
What’s your idea of
book heaven or book hell?
Book heaven would be locked in a bookshop overnight (as long
as I had some lighting, food and water).
Book hell would be if the only book
available was 50 Shades of Grey.
Where is your
favourite reading place?
In bed usually. Although I am happy to read anywhere,
including walking around the local streets with my Kindle to get some exercise.
What has been your
favourite book of the year...so far ?
I am torn between three (all of which I have already
mentioned above) - The Ice Twins, The Dandelion Years and I Let You Go.
