Book Blogger Hop #5

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme that was originally created and hosted by Jennifer at Crazy-for-Books in March 2010. As of February 2013, it’s hosted by Billy at Coffee Addicted Writer.
Today’s Question(s) is …

Which do you prefer to be known as: a voracious reader or a book nerd?

My Answer(s) is …

Honestly, I’m okay with either. However, I don’t read nearly as many books as most book bloggers because I’m a slow reader. Because of that, some people may not think I qualify as a voracious reader. It’s okay, though. I really like the idea of being a book nerd.

What about you? What do you prefer to be known as?

    I’m not really either although I used to be a voracious reader. I still read as much as I can but for some reason, it makes me sleepy. I would call myself a book lover.

      I understand. Reading has started to make me sleepy too, especially if I haven’t had a good night’s sleep. I like “book lover.” It’s clear and says exactly what it means. 😀

    Probably the same. 🙂 I think as book bloggers we’re probably ALL voracious readers compared to the general populace haha, but I often read a lot slower than other bloggers too (or I should say I don’t read as many books). Some bloggers that read a dozen or more a month- I am in awe. 🙂

    Glad you liked the Dune covers BTW. Man, that post is giving me fits. I posted it only to find that some of the stuff I thoguht I had saved… wasn’t. So I had to try to redo it all. Gah.

    Have a nice weekend 🙂 ..

      I’m sorry you’re having trouble with your post. That’s the worst. I’m glad I got to see the covers before it started having issues. 😀 I hope you get it fixed soon.

      I’m also in awe of the bloggers who can read dozens or more each month. I’m doing good if I can read 4-6 books each month. I normally read only 1-3 because of something or other. LOL.

    I’m a slow reader as well. It always amazes me when I see that some people read several books in one week. I have a goal to read an entire book in one day sometime by the end of this year, but I won’t do that too often because I’ll be mentally exhausted and I won’t get anything else done. I’m lucky if I finish one book in a week. But I think someone can be a slow reader and still be considered a voracious reader. 🙂

      I’ve read a book in a day once. It was THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. I was trying to get it done before my friends and I went to the movie that evening. Fortunately, it was a fast book, but I didn’t get much out of it and ended up liking the movie better. If I had taken my time with it, I think I would’ve liked it better. 😀

      I’m also always amazed when others can read more than one book a week. I rarely finish or even start a second book in the same week.
