Well, actually....I have been par...Hi, again, Kat!<br /><br />Well, actually....I have been participating in a reading challenge for a while now, and we're supposed to read at least 12 books this year. I started in February, so I want to read two instead of one this month,so that I will then have an even 12! I think my thing with numbers is just visual. I like any numbers with circles in them, my favorites being the ones I mentioned above. Although, for some reason, I do like the number 4...I like the triangle shape in it. Lol.<br /><br />As for e-books, I sure do hope they don't push out the REAL books!! I can read on the computer if it's a short selection. I start to balk when I see more than one page. But an entire book! I can't stand the thought of scrolling and scrolling endlessly on an e-reader, instead of turning the pages of a REAL book!!!! UGH. Besides, I love to hug my books, and run my hands lovingly over their covers!<br /><br />Come by and check out my most recent post, about another FAB giveaway -- YA books only!!!! <br /><br />http://anightsdreamofbooks.blogspot.com/2011/05/great-giveaway-at-lcs-adventures-in.html<br /><br />You have a GREAT weekend, too!! :)Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146807812241034464.post-25916675897005318732011-05-21T15:36:15.606-04:002011-05-21T15:36:15.606-04:00Hey Kat, just stopping by on the follow & hop ...Hey Kat, just stopping by on the follow & hop <br />I could not just give one answer to this week's questions!.<br />Come check my picks!

It is a very funny quirk. :) I like mandalas, too... I could get lost in one all day.<br /><br />I understand perfectly what you mean about e-books... I've tried and tried to read them, and I'm near the point of admitting I just can't. It's too much like being on the computer, and I constantly 'jump' around while I'm surfing the web. Have a great weekend! :)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414324160166322024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146807812241034464.post-7394188385610975062011-05-21T02:46:02.851-04:002011-05-21T02:46:02.851-04:00Hey, I LOVE your "quirks"! There's ...Hey, I LOVE your "quirks"! There's just one thing....I myself prefer odd numbers! As a matter of fact, my favorite ones are "3" and "5"! Now, this has nothing to do with quantities, really. I simply like the visual shapes of these numbers. They have circles in them, and I just LOVE anything circular! (Like mandalas, for example!) <br /><br />Of all the "quirks" you mentioned, my favorite ones, which I share with you, are the enjoyment of the smell of books, and the inability to get into e-books. I can't stand them, by the way. I don't plan on EVER owning a Kindle, or a Nook, or any other e-reader!<br /><br />Interesting post! :)Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146807812241034464.post-87313258555580540662011-05-21T00:32:11.659-04:002011-05-21T00:32:11.659-04:00Hey again Kat!

I've read a couple (The Uglies series for example) and just didn't love the endings.

Do you WANT to die?') but hopefully she's learned to confine her reading to stoplights like all these other addicts. :)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414324160166322024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146807812241034464.post-73438494424614755332011-05-20T11:03:14.099-04:002011-05-20T11:03:14.099-04:00I read A LOT while computer pages load -- mostly a...I read A LOT while computer pages load -- mostly at work.
