I don't keep track. It really depends on the kind of year I'm having.

Yeah I don’t keep track either. It would be interesting to see how many I buy. I may start tracking.

Well the $60 I spent on the two Julia Child cookbooks was probably the most. Now I have bought 35 used books in one day. LOL
I've spent about $200 on books (possibly more) in one day. I'd say $70-$80 is the most at one store.
The most I've spent at one time was probably around $100-$150.

Year(s). It takes me forever to get to books I buy.
It takes me forever to get to books that I buy too. Glad I am not the only one.

..
1. Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky (second book in series, the first one was excellent)
2. Dracula by Bram Stoker (reread)
3. The Wendy by Erin Michelle Sky (young adult, outside my normal reading range, but looks fun)

Behind Her Eyes by Sarah PinboroughCome Closer by Sara Gran
I couldn't choose which one I hated more. I think Come Closer comes in 1st place, but Behind Her Eyes is a CLOSE second.

Krystyna wrote: "127. What book(s) can you not live without?"Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader - the author just has a way with words. The book makes you use your brain.
Dracula - all around good story
Night - such tragedy

It is an awful book. I cannot understand why anyone likes it, much less read the rest of them. And a movie was made! ....just keep saying No Way.

I rarely get in reading slumps. It might be once a year, at most.
Krystyna wrote: "129. Do you get in reading slumps often? How many times a year?"I think I get into one large reading slump a year. It will take about a month to really get out of it.
I might have little ones here and there but nothing quite as bad after that.

All I can think of right now. (Not entirely sure what buzz words are.)
Adventure, travel, and food are big buzz words for me.
Krystyna wrote: "131. What is the longest book you’ve read?"Probably IT by Stephen King, but I’m currently reading Les Misérables so it’ll be the longest when I’m done.
Krystyna wrote: "129. Do you get in reading slumps often? How many times a year?"Yes I do. It happens to me a few times a year. Not because of books, but because of interruptions and stress.

Book buzzwords are basically descriptors (words or phrases) that when you see it in a blurb or synopsis you immediately want to pick the book up and read it. So, for me, an example would be gothic. If I see that a book has gothic in the description or a blurb then it immediately has my attention.

I'm reading a funny book about a taxi driver going insane.
The Last Taxi Driver by Lee Durkee
Krystyna wrote: "133. What do you do to get through a reading slump?"
I will pick up books from different genres to see if that does anything for me. If that doesn't work, then I'll take a break and get back into it when I'm in the mood.
