Know Me Better (1)

Know Me Better is a weekly meme hosted by I Am a Reader, Not a Writer. This sounded like a really fun meme to do, with 5 new questions to answer each week.

Where is your favorite spot to read?
I have a sort of open loft space on the second floor of my house (it's a little hard to describe). My bookshelves are here, and it's where I spend most of my reading time; I love this space so much I hardly use the living room downstairs.

Are you a fast or slow reader?
I think I'm about average, but if I find a book engrossing, I'll zip through it faster than I normally would.

Fanfiction - Love it or hate it? Have your ever read/written it?
I've never tried reading or writing it because I'm not that interested in it.

Summer or Winter?
Tough question. I've always loved summer, but moving a few years ago to a fairly mild climate year-round has really made me miss traditional winters with cold temperatures and snow. I think I'll still have to go with summer, though.

Truth or Dare?
Truth. I'm not a very daring person at all.

  1. Ooh, your reading place sounds good. When I have my own place, I would like to have a room dedicated to reading.

    1. I loved the open space when I first saw the house and knew that I wanted to turn it into a kind of reading nook.

  2. Your reading place sounds awesome! Someday, I'm hoping to have a loft like that, or maybe one of those old fashioned attics that have been renovated into livable space. I'll turn it into a really cool library with cozy chairs and tons of bookshelves and nooks and crannies for people to find their own reading corner.

    1. I've always been in awe of English manor houses, like something out of a Jane Austen novel, that have their own libraries with wall-to-wall bookshelves that reach the ceiling.

  3. I prefer spring and fall and we should do something to make you more daring, Lee!

    Happy weekend!

    1. I'm thinking of getting my hair cut very soon and getting bangs for the first time in, like, over 20 years. That's probably about as daring as I'll get this year, lol.

  4. I love your reading place, I've always wanted to have a library in my house, I think I'd probably live there.

    1. I just about live in my little reading spot. It's definitely my favorite space in the house.

  5. I so want a space like that to read, I have fantasies of making myself a read room with bookshelves and comfy chairs etc!

    1. I sometimes dream of putting a mini-refrigerator and maybe a small microwave up there, but then I'd never venture downstairs again, lol.

  6. This is a really great feature! I'm not into fan-fic, either, and your reading area sounds lovely :)

    1. Fanfic has never really appealed to me. Plus there are so many books that I want to read that I'd rather spend my time reading one of them instead.
