The question for this week: How did you come up with your blog name?
Let's see. Before book blogging I was addicted to all things Japanese, so when I was trying to think of a name for my blog, I was thinking of something that would immediately make people think that I like Japanese stuff AND reading. So I picked a Japanese Deity/Goddess' name and put the word "reads" next to it. Silly, right? I do think Amaterasu is a very interesting Goddess. And hey, the Japanese Imperial Family claims they're a descendant of this Goddess too. Cool, huh?
The question for this week: Do you read only one book at a time, or do you have several going at once?I read several at once! I know a lot of people thinks it's confusing, but it works for me. Usually when I can't get into one book (which I really need to read) I tend to switch books/genre so I can take a break, and then shift back, whichever I can finish first. It's rare for me to drop everything else I'm reading for one book, I usually do that when the book I've picked up is really good and I don't want to be distracted by another book.
I promise to reply to every comment I'll get! :) Happy Friday, everyone!
I really love the meaning behind your blog's name! It's so cool! I read two or more books at once too. At first, it caused me a headache but now I'm getting used to it ;)
ReplyDeleteHehe... You really have a cool blog name! And I do myself reading two or more book at once.. Similar to Mia here. lol! :]
ReplyDeleteHopping by!! I really need to try reading another book when I get bored with a book. That might help, instead of trying to push through it, which seems like it takes forever to finish!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
My Hop!

Just hopping by,very nice blog name, stop and see mine.
ReplyDeleteNot everyone can multi-task and nobody should. When it comes to book sure, I can't read four books simultaneously (or even two, for that matter!) but there are times I'll juggle as many as four books at a time depending on the subject matter, the urgency or more often both.
ReplyDeleteThe real trick to this is what KINDS of books to juggle. Hop on over to my blog and learn the method behind my madness - http://www.howardshermannet

Hopping through. I've never heard of Amaterasu the goddess. Very cool.

I read a lot of books at a time, too and switch between them because I start too many at a time and have to balance them out.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
