Follow Friday #4 In Which My House Is Burning Down

Welcome, everyone! It's time for the weekly fun! As always, this meme is hosted by Alison Can Read and Parajunkee.

Your house is burning down and you have time to select three books you own to take with you. What three books? - Alison Can Read.

Oh my, let's hope it will never come down to this! I love all my books equally. But, to save only three, I will pick my first childhood book (yes, I still keep it!), The Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton. I choose The Faraway Tree because it's my real first thick and hardcover book. I re-read it like 10 times already. I still read it now and then. It has saved me from reading slumps a lot of times now. So, I'm really attached to it. For my second book, does a box set count as one? I'm sure it does, right! :D So, my second will be my Harry Potter books. I can't possibly just take three from the series! It's hardcover and these things are expensive! Lastly, I will pick Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein because it's one of my favourite books of all time. For my other books left to burn in the fire, I'm sorry!

The award for ugly crying goes to...

Kidding! xD 

To make up for the ugly crying, here's a marvelously handsome cry:

A scene from Charlie St. Cloud. Breaks my heart evertime! D':

It make me thinking, for all the times we spent picking up books to be saved, we could have grabbed other more valuable things like money and suchs. Man, god bless the book lovers! xD 

Happy Friday, everyone! Have a fun (and safe) weekend!

Cheers.

Do you like fantasy or realistic books? - The Realm of Books

The book that really get me into reading addiction is of fantasy genre. I've always love fantasy. The writing style in itself are much different. Besides, why would I want to read realistic books when the reason I read in the first place is to escape reality? Also, realistic books usually handles issues that are common and I found myself reading many realistic books that doesn't really vary much from each other. On the other hand, fantasy can be about anything, be anywhere and anytime. I always crave the feeling I get when I read a fantasy. It's almost euphoric.

I prefer fantasy from Middle Grade because I think Middle Grade have a special feeling to it. I always find books of Middle Grade to be more magical, fun and much more refreshing to read. 

Happy Friday, everyone! Hope you guys have a lovely weekend!

Do you read more than one book at a time, and if so, how, like a certain amount of pages per book before moving on to the next one in the queue? -Words I Write Crazy. 

I used to not be able to read more than one book at a time and was in awe when my friend told me that she was reading two books at a time. The reason I couldn't do it before was because I was afraid I will get distracted or even forget the story of the book I was originally reading and maybe confused the two stories. However, now it has become a norm for me to read more than one book at a time. It depends on the book I am reading though. If the book is interesting and captivating, I wouldn't be able to look for another book to read in the first place. If I find a book to be slow or dragging, I will put it down for another time when I feel like reading it again. In the mean time, I will look for another book to read. I sometimes alternate between reading two books. It's always a case of slow-draggy books that make me do so.

Now, for the follow fun!

 Hard print (real thing) or Kindle/Nook, which is your favorite? - The Realm of Books

I prefer hard print as I love the feeling of holding a book. You sure can't feel the same with Kindle. I also like to smell the old pages of books (I know, it's weird!). But, looking at my bookshelves that are leaden with a lot of books (only fellow bookworms will know how exactly a LOT is. xD), I only buy hard prints that I already read in my Kindle and love it enough to want a physical copy.

Happy Friday, everyone! Have a great weekend! :)
