7 Random Bookish Things

Stephanie over at Stephanie's Confessions of a Bookaholic tagged me for the 7 Random Bookish Things meme!

The rules are:
Link to the person who tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
Share seven random and/or weird book facts about yourself.
Tag seven random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.
Let each person know that they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Ok, so seven random bookish thing about me:

1. If I'm interested in reading a book that is part of a series, and I haven't read the series, I have to read all the previous books before reading the one book I am interested in. I just hate missing out on character development and such!
2. I try to reread The Dark Is Rising series by Susan Cooper once a year, as I have since I was a kid.
3. Not really about me...but my husband has a one-day floor policy with bookmarks. If a bookmark has been lying on the floor for more than a day, he throws it away! (sob, sob)
4. If a movie is coming out that is based on a book, I almost always have to read the book before I watch the movie.
5. I have a Sony Reader and love it for traveling, though I won't use it when I am at home because I like the feel of real books.
6. I used to never read more than one book at a time, though I have recently relaxed that policy.
7. I'm a big fan of the library, though I don't use it for non-fiction or long books because they take me awhile to read!

Whew, that was harder than I thought it would be! I'm actually going to open this one up instead of tagging specific people. If you're interested, feel free to do it, and link to your post in the comments so I can see what you said about yourself!

Yeah! Thanks for playing along!

I love your answers. Though I'd have to start hiding my bookmarks!

Yeah there is no way I could start a series in the middle, no way! And least your husband's policy is with bookmarks and not books, that would be really bad! And I'm there with you on the movies, I haven't been able to read many being made into movies lately but I prefer to do that first as well!

I LOVE the Dark is Rising series! I can remember when I first got my hands on them as a child - it was like holding magic. I'm the same way with the Wrinkle in Time series, too. Pure magic. Lovely!

I'm the same way with movies based on books. There are exceptions, of course, but generally speaking, I prefer to read the book first.
