Book A Day

Over on twitter people have been using #bookaday (hashtag book a day) to answer a set of questions about books – there was one for each day in June. This initiative was set up by @BoroughPress.  Being something of a book loving rebel I’ve decided that I’m going to answer the prompts on my blog. And do it in July (although that’s mostly because I didn’t realise when I first looked at the image that it was meant to be a June thing).  As July goes on I will edit the list below so the prompts link to the relevant entry on my blog.

1^st Favourite book from childhood

2^nd Best bargain

3^rd One with a blue cover

4^th Least favourite book by a favourite author

5^th Doesn’t belong to me.

6^th The one I always give as a gift

7^th Forgot that I owned

8^th Have more than one copy

9^th Film or TV tie-in

10^th Reminds me of someone I love

11^th Secondhand bookshop gem

12^th I pretend to have read

13^th Makes me laugh

14^th An old favourite

15^th Favourite fictional father

16^th Can’t believe more people haven’t read

17^th Future classic

18^th Bought on a recommendation

19^th Still can’t stop talking about it

20^th Favourite cover

21^st Summer read

22^nd Out of print

23^rd Made to read at school

24^th Hooked me in to reading

25^th Never finished it

26^th Should have sold more copies

27^th Want to be one of the characters

28^th Bought at one of my fave independent bookshops

29^th The one I have reread most often

30^th Would save if my house burned down

Looking at the list some of those prompts are going to be really easy for me. One or two completely stump me but hopefully by the time I get to them and give them some thought I might come up with something. And there are a few books which I could use for more than one of the prompts.

I think this should be interesting.
