Day 12 – A book or series of books you’ve read more than five times
If I enjoy a book, I will re-read it, over and over and over again. Watership Down gets read about once a year, so that's about 28 times so far; Imajica about once every 2 years, so that's 12 times so far; Jonathon Livingston Seagull is on a 5-year cycle, along with Illusions, so that's 6 & 5 respectively. As far as entire series go, it would be Hitchhiker's Guide, Clan of the Cave Bear & the Immortals by Piers Anthony. There's also a lot of non-fic that I will re-read - namely books on Vodou & medicinal herbology. The Vodou books are read straight through, the herb books in chunks, drips and drabs.
Day 13 – Favorite childhood book OR current favorite YA book (or both!)
Day 14 – Favorite character in a book (of any sex or gender)
Day 15 – Your “comfort” book
Day 16 – Favorite poem or collection of poetry
Day 17 – Favorite story or collection of stories (short stories, novellas, novelettes, etc.)
Day 18 – Favorite beginning scene in a book
Day 19 – Favorite book cover (bonus points for posting an image!)
Day 20 – Favorite kiss
Day 21 – Favorite romantic/sexual relationship (including asexual romantic relationships)
Day 22 – Favorite non-sexual relationship (including asexual romantic relationships)
Day 23 – Most annoying character ever
Day 24 – Best quote from a novel
Day 25 – Any five books from your “to be read” stack
Day 26 – OMG WTF? OR most irritating/awful/annoying book ending
Day 27 – If a book contains ______, you will always read it (and a book or books that contain it)!
Day 28 – First favorite book or series obsession
Day 29 – Saddest character death OR best/most satisfying character death (or both!)
Day 30 – What book are you reading right now?
