thefridayfive I'm now completing a meme thatjustwontbreak posted at the end of April:
This week I'm reading: Agatha Christie: An Autobiography, Maigret's Mistake by Georges Simenon, The Truth by Terry Pratchett, and Marked for Death by R O Thorp
My favourite book of all time is: I still cannot decide
My current favourite book (read or re-read in the last 3 months) is: The Retired Assassin's Guide to Orchid Hunting by Naomi Kuttner
The last book I bought was: Stories for the Twelve Days of Christmas a pre-order from British Library Women Writers
The first book I bought with my own money was: Probably something from the St Clare's series by Enid Blyton
The first book I received as a gift was: No idea, but I frequently received books for birthdays and Christmas
The last book I received as a gift was: Cranky Ladies of History by Tansy Rayner Roberts
The last book I borrowed from the library was: Marked for Death by R O Thorp
The book physically closest to me right now is: The Life of Mammals by David Attenborough
This or that
Physical book or e-book: Physical
Used or new: Used, which includes library books, although occasionally I'm the first to borrow a book so it could be described as new
Fiction or non-fiction: Fiction
Read at a coffee shop or at the park: Home, in bed
Paperback or hardcover: Paperback generally, library books may be hardcover
Romance or Crime: Crime
Yes or no
Stream of consciousness? No
Poetry? No
Memoirs? Sometimes
Philosophy? No
Thrillers? Yes
Chronicles? Probably not
Travel logs? Maybe
