The Moroccan Bookish #TAG

We  found some cool tags for bookworms  so we decided to do a one for all  Moroccan book lovers  worldwide . It’s kind of   a long tag but It is so much fun to do it . Let’s get started…

• Question #1 : Since when you started reading? and was someone the reason you started it?

#H : I started reading two years ago, but I wasn't reading that much of books, and yes! My mother and sister were the reason I started reading.

#S : since I was 6 years old basically, buying and reading kids books and stories got me into reading and since then I turned into a book worm as for the person who got me into reading :My Mom ..she always encouraged me to spend my money on books and I got hooked haha !

• Question #2 : Favourite writer / author ?

#H: Each author have it own style, it is really difficult to decide which one is my favourite! 

#S: I don't have just one favorite writer or author ..mentioning a name without another would not do the unmentioned justice and if i reaaaally have to mention one I would say Gibran khalil Gibran .

• Question #3 : Best book you've read so far ?

#H : So far my two cup of tea books are : The Fault in our stars by John Green and Please look after mom by Kyung Sook Shin .

#S : Again, I don't have one favorite book so I will mention the 3 books that came to my mind as typing this answer : the prophet by Gibran Khalil Gibran, Paper towns by John green and the Alchemist by Paulo coelho 

• Question #4 : A book you didn't like ?

#H : I didn't like those books we had to read in High school and specially : La boîte à merveilles - Ahmed sefrioui .

#S: Emm actually I hadn't really disliked a book before ..maybe because i'm a bit picky when it comes to my readings that it saved me from disappointments haha !

• Question #5 : How many times you buy books ?

#S & # H : Whenever we have money basically haha ..we just head to the nearest library looking for the latest books or books we wanted to have !

• Question #6 : New books or old & used books ?  

#H: Both , It's doesn't really matter as long as I am getting a BOOK haha.

#S : I prefer new books but I  like the old used ones  if the previous owner of that book  marked his/her favorite parts or wrote his/her thoughts on the edge of the pages..it feels somehow like i'm reading their thoughts or sharing the same thoughts with them sometimes !

• Question #7 :  Bookmark or a random piece of paper ?

#H: A DIY bookmark, and sometimes I use just a random piece of paper.

#S: Definitely bookmarks ..beautiful and cute ones haha !

• Question #8 :Do you have a certain place at home for reading ?

#H: Actually no, but I do prefer reading in bed.

#S: No actually ...Anywhere quite basically would be nice ...if not am still okay !

• Question #9 : Can you stop reading anytime you want to or do you have to stop any a certain chapter, page or part etc.. ?

#H: I can stop reading anytime, but when the story is catchy or getting more interesting I can't stop till I reach the end, at least of the chapter.

#S: I stop when I really have to ..not when I want to haha since  it's quite hard for me to stop reading and put a book down especially if it's an interesting one ...and when I do it I just stop at whatever page/ part/ chapter ...

• Question #10 : Do you eat or drink while reading ?

#H: I like eating sweets or cereals while reading lol

#S: I only drink tea often while reading ...never ate while reading before !

• Question #11 : Can you read while listening to music or watching TV ?

#H: It really depends on my mood and the book I am reading, sometimes I like to read while listening to some calm indie songs. 

#S : I can but I don't ...whenever I do so I end up rereading certain lines or sometimes even pages because I lose my focus a bit singing along with songs LOL !

• Question #12 : One book at a time or several at once ?

#H : I read several books at once, it feels like living more than one life everyday.

#S : Both ....sometimes I'm reading several at once ..but mostly I'm reading and focusing on One book ^^

• Question  #13 : Reading out loud or silently in your head ?

#H :  when I am alone, sometimes I read out loud in a British accent haha I don't why but I just do it, otherwise I like reading silently in my head.

#S: Silently ..but sometimes I read certain lines out loud when they seem weird or impressive somehow to me !

• Question #14 : Reading at home or everywhere ?

#H: Everywhere.

#S: E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E !

• Question #15 : Do you write in books ?

#H : No I just mark my favourite lines.

#S: No ..I just mark my favorite lines as well using a highlighter pen (Usually a PINK one haha ) and I write my thoughts on my personal notebook ^^
