1. When you buy a greetings card, are the words or the picture more important to you?
If I bought, it would be funny or sweet or light. But I prefer making them myself.

2. What's your favorite kind of cake?
I love any kind but mostly with soft and creamy cakes.

3. Do you ever make gifts for people, if so what, or do you buy them?
Yes I do, I make little scrapbooks for special people on a special occasion. I make my own 3D cards and make another different type of books as gifts. I do a lot more but sometimes when I can't find the time, I would just get something from a special shop and recreate.

4. What's your favorite holiday?
Emmmm... let me see, going to a hotel, and do nothing, or just lie down on a soft beach and read books or write something.

Yep. I am constantly on holiday, short trip here and there and if everything is ok with FIL, we'll be away for about a month. My holiday is already approved. hehe

Bookworm tag

I got this tag from Cousin Cel. Thanks cuz.

Here goes :

Do you remember how you developed a love for reading?
I can't remember. It was ages ago when I was still very very young I think.

What are some books you read as a child?
I remember Archie comics books, Enid Blyton, Hardy Boys, some Chinese books and some Malay books which I cannot seem to remember.

What is your favourite genre?
It varies. I used to read mystery, crime, western and some Asian novels. Since 2004, I started collecting and reading historical romance. Now I stopped reading HR temporarily because I'm into other non-fiction books or magazines.

Do you have a favourite novel?
I have many favourite novels and it is hard to just pick one. My favourite for the most complicated plots is Daughter of Fortune by Isabel Allende. If I need a laugh, I just grabbed any of Teresa Medeiros, Julia Quinn or some other best authors books.

Where do you usually read?
It depends. I read everywhere. I always bring a book or a magazine or some articles with me wherever I go so I can read anytime. e.g. in the car/metro/train, at the park, in the middle of the city, in a cafe, at the beach, at my couch, in bed and the best is in my studyroom with the beautiful music in the background and the smell of burning candles.

When do you usually read?
On the way to work/home, when I feel like reading. When I am in the mood to read, I can finish reading a 370 pages novel in 2 days, i.e. in the evening after I finish with work.

Do you usually have more than one book you are reading at a time?
Yep, normally I do.

Do you read nonfiction in a different way or place than you read fiction?
No, not exactly. As long as it is a book, I read them as if they all are equally interesting.

Do you buy most of the books you read, or borrow them, or check them out of the library?
I don't like borrowing so I buy all my books. Wanna see my collections? Just in 3 years time of collecting. hehe..

Do you keep most of the books you buy?
Yes, in my 'sanctuary'.

If you have children, what are some of the favorite books you have shared with them? Were they some of the same ones you read as a child?
I have no children but I would just get any easy to read and some moral development for the kids. I have many collections for them in my bookshelves too.

Do you keep a TBR (to be read) list?
Hmmm... lets see... I don't have a list, I just buy and keep them in the bookshelves and wait till I pick one of them to be read.

What’s next?
Oh well, we shall see.

What books would you like to reread?
I have no idea, so many in the list. I just close my eyes and pick one I guess.

Who are your favourite authors?
Too many to mention.
