Follow Friday (#11)

Follow Friday is a fun way for bloggers to find new blogger friends!  It's hosted by Rachel at Parajunkee's View, and it's such an awesome idea! 

Our Feature blog this week is...
Ninja Girl @ Ninja Girl Reads
And our question is...
"Can You Tell Us Five Quirky Habits Or Things About You?"
Quirky...  Um, ok, here I go:
  1. I like to read four or five books at once: two on the kindle (one often a classic), a newly-released book, and an older book that's been on the shelf for a while.  I sometimes add books I'm rereading, like the Harry Potter I'm reading at the moment.
  2. I have an unusual habit of talking too much, about random things.  I talked for like half an hour about angel/devil mythology, before going right into talking about a CSI show.  I also ask too many questions.  Hence, lots of 'you're mad' looks.  ;)
  3. I believe in the whole world of paranormal.  Yes, that earns mad looks too, but I do.  I think the world's too big for there not to be something out there, unseen...
  4. I put notes or blank bits of paper into the chapters of my books.  It started as a way of reminding myself of something.  Now, it's just my Quirk that I can't seem to stop...
  5. I'm very protective of my books.  I make sure they have nice homes, that they aren't hurt (bent) and that they're safe from the elements.  And if someone says something mean about a book I'm reading, I stroke it so that its feelings aren't hurt.  Yep, I am mad.  But all the best people are a little bonkers.  (:
Well, there are a few of my many quirks.  My aunt often jokes that I'm 'special in the head'.  I'm not sure if I should be offended or what by that comparision...

If you've found my through FF, drop me a link so I can follow back.  If not, why not tell us a few of your quirks.

Have a good weekend, all!

    Hey Megan :)
    I just stopped by to say hi - and yes, I stroke books too :D
    More of a "don't worry, I still love you" feeling right?

    Hi!
    Jessica: Oh, so glad I'm not the only one that does that. My brain just goes faster than my mouth. ;)
    Deepali: Precisely! That's a better way to put it. Doesn't make me sound quite so mad. ;) Will do!

    Thanks for the comments!

    I will talk extensively about very random things (mythology, Harry Potter, whatever), too. It does earn you some rather odd stares. :)

    New follower from FF! Love your blog, and looking forward to reading what you think of Scorpia Rising!

    I can rarely read more than one book at a time and always envy those who can!

    I used to read about 10 books at a time! But then I stopped and realised I could get through a book quicker by only reading the one! I ask too many questions too :D I talk too much too, in fact, I never shut up! I am protective of my books too - I went through a phase a while ago when I COULD NOT break the spin of my books. I just thought it looked terrible! And I hate lending them to people who don't mind books properly. This one girl gave one of my favourite books and she bent back half the cover! I had to force myself not to get angry at her!!! Have a great weekend too!

    Hiyah,
    I just read your post, and I'm so happy you love Jane, too :) He's got looks, smarts and acting skills, a great combo. Plus, I saw your comment over at Jessica's blog. You simply must read Perfect You! (dials it back a bit) Didn't mean to come off all demanding lol. But really, that book is one of my absolute favorites, and I hope you'll enjoy it.

    Hi, I'm a new follower! I can completely talk about random things too, and my brain is usually thinking about 20 things at once. And... I'm mad too cause I totally take care of my books and stroke them too :).

    This is a fun question. I’m learning so much about everybody and I don’t think most of us are as quirky as we think we are.

    My quirks seem normal enough. As I wrote them I woke up to the fact a lot of my quirks create inner conflicts. I’ve got a lot to think about!

    Follow me Back to my blog and see what quirks I’ve got – http://www.howardsherman.net

    Haha, I always read multiple books at a time. The only problem is that sometimes I forget about a book I was reading. A bad habit that I'm trying to break, but oh well :) I am obsessed about keeping my books in perfect condition! I think most avid reader's are. Haha, and it always irks me whenever I have a series that has a mix of paperback and hardcover, I only like one or the other. I think we all have some weird quirks :) Happy Friday!

    LOL, I tend to get weird looks for my ramblings as well. ;) I kinda like it though. Being the rambling one that is! Hahah, how fund would it be not to talk about anything and everything, when it suits you? Haha!

    Old follower! My quirky list can be found here!

    Cliona: Eek, hate people like that! Never trust one who does not take care of a book. I think that's the quote. Thanks! ;)
    Ninja Girl: Jane definately has it all! Love him. (: I'm going to: it looks amazing. And I sound like that all the time. ;) Thanks for the follow!
    Jen: Thanks for the follow! I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that!
    Howard: Hmm, curious. Most of my quirks are just 'cause I'm mad. ;)
    Tessa: I'm not quite as fussed about series: if I love the series, I buy the first copy available! Literally. Thanks!
    Bex: I like being the rambling one too. It's more fun than being the one who says nothing. :)
    Alison: Love reading more than one at once! ;o)
