selenak28. Bought at my fave independent bookshop.
My fave independent bookshop was sold to a bookstore chain last year, so, you kow, there's that. Among the many books I did buy there was Isabel Bodgan's novel "Der Pfau" (The Peacock in English), which is an entertaining comedy of manners type of tale about a couple of yuppies who in theory are supposed to do management training and team bonding in a Scottish retreat, while in practice things inevitably go wrong.
29. The one I have reread most often.
Good lord, just one? I honestly can't tell. Also, it depends on my age. 13 to 16 years old me reread The Mists of Avalon a lot, for example, but I don't think I have since then. As a child, I repeatedly read (and loved) The Neverending Story by Michael Ende, and then years passed and I didn't read it, and then I read it repeatedly agian in my late 20s. Plus, chances are I've reread the Grimms' Fairy Tales for different reasons in all decades of my life a lot. And so forth. I honestly reread too many books to tell you which of them I've reread most often.
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
18. Bought on a recommendation.
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.
30. Would save if my house burned down.
