Musing Mondays #5



Musing Mondays is a meme hosted by Should be Reading.




This week’s musing asks…


Do you set goals for yourself, while reading? For example, “I want to get this book finished this weekend“, or “I will read __ pages today“, etc. Why, or why not?



No, not so much for finishing a book by a particular time but I do try and set an amount of books that I would like to read in a year.

Musing Mondays #4



Musing Mondays is a meme hosted by Should be Reading.




This week’s musing asks…




Do you think the book cover is “dead”? Do you care whether the “covers” on digital books exist or not?



I do care whether there are covers on digital books because the cover is where I get my first impression of the book.

Musing Mondays #3



Musing Mondays is a meme hosted by Should be Reading.




This week’s musing asks…




What is the longest book you have ever read? How long did it take you to read it?



The longest book I have read is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix which is 766 pages.



The first time I read it I finished it in about a day. I got it the day it came out and read without sleep until I finished it. Now when I re-read it, it usually takes me about 3 days.

Musing Mondays #2

This week’s musing asks…


Do you have a reading goal for the year, such as __ books? Why or why not?


I have a goal to read 100 books this year. I set 100 books because any less and it is too easy and anymore there is too much  pressure.

Musing Mondays #1

This week’s musing asks…




If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop and look it up right away?



I normally just ask whoever is around me at the time and if they don't know then I don't worry about it. Most of the time I can just assume what the word means based on the context in which it is used.
