Pegster's 11 Questions For Me:
1. On an average week day, are you at college / at work / at home?
I sell insurance with my musical theatre degree by day. ;)
2.Do you have a favourite book genre and what is it?
I like any kind of coming-of-age novel, but I also love memoirs too.
3.Is there a genre you don't like or would you give anything a go?
I'm not a huge Sci-Fi/Fantasy person, although I did enjoy the Area 51 (Area 51 series)
by Bob Mayer.4.As you read books for review, do you take notes during reading?
As a newbie book blogger, I should probably start doing that. So far, I rely on memory and flipping back through the book when I need to research a particular section.
5.Do you have any system to keep track of books received / bought / for review etc?
Currently, I only use Netgalley, and all of my "to be read books" are listed on my shelf.
6.Anything you wish you'd known about blogging when you started?
I've been blogging steadily since 2000, so I know a thing or two about blogging. I just started book blogging, and I'm finding that the most difficult aspect is coming up with a good rating system.
7.How many books do you read on average per week?
Probably 1-2 a week at this point.
8.When you look out of your window now, describe what you see.
I just moved from a cubicle to an office with a window! Yea! I actually have a view! I see an awesome river past the busy street.
9.In a shopping mall, what would be your favourite type of shop?
I really hate trying on clothes (sorry!), but I like bookstores and shops like Hot Topic (although I don't dress goth).
10.Name your favourite meal/ dish / food.
I am not a big foodie. I can pretty much eat Japanese Hibachi at any time, though. I do like that.
11.Hardback / Paperback / Ebook?
Paperback or E-Book. Hardbacks are too hard to hold onto for me.

I've given up on a rating system for that reason… I find it really had to put my feelings etc about a book in a few stars, but obviously Amazon/GR we have to give stars. And Bookstores are my fav shops… my children only roll their eyes.
