Follow Friday and Book Blogger Hop

I haven't yet finished any book this week, I wonder why. Why am I reading so slow? Well, enough for that, let's get the drum to roll.

FOLLOW FRIDAY Feature & Follow Friday is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee that expands your blog following by a joint effort between bloggers. First you leave your name here and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them hi in their comments. You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win.

Q. How many books do you read in a week? And in what format do you read them, or listen to them?

I probably be - 1 book a week. I read so slow and I procrastinate very often. I mostly read paperbacks - you know that Hardbounds are expensive. Here in the Philippines, a hardbound average prize is Php 800. The paperbacks are Php 300. So, if I will decide to buy one hardbound, I can buy two instead by choosing the paperbacks version of them. So I saved money! 

BOOK BLOGGER HOP

"What book-to-movie adaption have you most liked?  Which have you disliked?"

For me, it's Harry Potter. Mostly because it didn't disappointed me. Some book-to-movie adaption are juts so lame and not as good as the books. One of those that I despise, is the movie version of The Lightning Thief. The book was so ruined by the movie. The plot was changed and the excitement ceased.

Follow Friday and Book Blogger Hop

Hello there! It's been a long time since I participated in Follow Friday and Book Blogger Hop. And what cool is,  I was picked again for the second time in the Blogger Hop. I really like asking you guys and hearing your wonderful answers. So let's get started.

FOLLOW FRIDAY Feature & Follow Friday is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee that expands your blog following by a joint effort between bloggers. First you leave your name here and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them hi in their comments. You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win.

Q. It's circle time. Time for us to open up and share. Can you tell us FIVE quirky habits or things about you? We all have them...

1. I always have a mug and a tumbler in my desk. I'm obsess with water 

and coffee. My tumbler holds the water and the mug's the coffee - but today I ran out of coffee. 

2.  Are you familiar with those HUGE size Toblerones? Yes, I can finish one bar in a day. 

3. Even how hot it is, I always keep my windows close at night. Who knew if some zombie may want to kill me?

4. I sleep at midnight and woke up exactly 12:00nn. Mostly

5. I like rainy days - average rain not the thunderous one.

BOOK BLOGGER HOP 

"If you were given the chance to spend one day in a fictional world (from a book), which book would it be from and what would that place be?"

I would like to be in the world of The Hunger Games. You might say, "because it's the hype today" No. I'm the kind of person who loves leadership (Panem) History (North America to Panem) Technology (Capitol) and a lot of things. So I might be happy to walk in their world for a day.

What are your New Year's Book Blogging Resolutions?
I'm a new book blogger and I noticed a lot of mistake I've done. So maybe it's time to change this coming year.
1. Interact more - I always read the post from the blogs I follow but I rarely comment. Depending on my mood if I want to do so. So in the coming year, I will comment more than I do usually. 
2. Review more/Read more - I'm a slow reader, but not naturally. I'm a teen boy and I got really distracted whenever their is technology, like my computer, iPod and cellphone. That slow down my reading. So I will do my best to read more so I can do a lot more reviews for my followers.
3. Giveaways? - I'm not sure if this coming year I will be able to afford a giveaway. But we do not know, I may have the budget this coming year, and that will be my first!
4. More Interviews - I'm not interactive with author actually, bot this coming year, I will do a lot more author interviews
5. Choose what I will review - Recently, I'm receiving books/e-books to review, mostly from unpopular authors. Next year, I will try to say NO to some of them.

What do you do besides reading / reviewing as a hobby??

When I'm not reading, I do science experiments, watch for the latest technology and I am also usually at the Apple Store Online looking for new gadgets. I also sometimes do handicrafts. I make things that I think I will need in my desk like pencil holder and a lot more. I do these to have a break in reading, since reading a lot is not good for our eyes. John Milton, an essayist, got blind due to excessive reading and writing. I don't want to be blind. :)

The follow friday for this week has no question included. So I just decided to share to you some of my experience this week.I'm included in class of the Top 20 students of our level and we have special classes to English, Math and Science. Yesterday, was our school's Book Week and we performed a speech choir, called The Congo. I really hate performing in front of several audience, but yesterday, I over come that. I actually enjoy what I did and asking for more. What I learned is that, as long as you can do it, do it!

This week question is:

How long have you been book blogging?

I started blogging last August 2010. I've been in wordpress and I just transfered here in blogger last week. If you'll ask how long since I fell in love with reading. It was just two years ago when I read a novel for a book report and suddenly realize that I like to read more.

Thank you for stopping by :) Have a nice day!
