selenak18. Bought on a recommendation.
Most recently, the Neapolitan Quartet by Elena Ferrante, review by yours truly just linked. One of my favourite bookstore people in my hometown was wild about it, and she was right to me. Also, I usually go for audio versions solely after having read it in print (or kindle, as the case may be); in this case, it was the other way around, because I had heard an excerpt of Eva Mattes reading the German translation, which she did beautifully, and since the audio version was a complete one, I went for it.
1. Favorite book from childhood
2. Best Bargain
3. One with a blue cover.
4. Least favorite book by favorite author
5. Doesn't belong to me.
6. The one I always give as a gift.
7. Forgot I owned it.
8. Have more than one copy.
9. Film or tv tie-in.
10. Reminds me of someone I love.
11. Second hand bookshop gem.
12. I pretend to have read it.
13. Makes me laugh.
14. An old favorite.
15. Favorite Fictional Father
16. Can’t believe more people haven’t read it.
17. Future classic
19. Still can't stop talking about it.
20. Favorite cover.
21. Summer read.
22. Out of print.
23. Made to read at school.
24. Hooked me into reading.
25. Never finished it.
26. Should have sold more copies.
27. Want to be one of the characters.
28. Bought at my fave independent bookshop.
29. The one I have reread most often.
30. Would save if my house burned down.
