Sharing Beyond Books #109 Comment Giveaway July 20, 2013

Hello again on Saturday night and Welcome to SBB, Sharing Beyond Books.

For some reason I am very tired tonight so I am getting this post up and then heading to dreamland. (I'll post winners of book giveaways tomorrow or Monday.)

Thank you to all who shared last week.

Many of us, 8, like to read both Cowboy and Highlander; 7 prefer Highlanders and 5 prefer cowboys. And one doesn't read either. :-)
 
Only three of us have actually gone geo-caching. Many had never heard of it so I am glad I could tell you of a fun activity to try. Apparently the majority of the locations are in US but there are a couple in UK.

WEEK #109 Questions

Q1. Nikki asks: Do you read Japanese/Korean manga (comic books)??
A: A few years ago I would not have known what 'manga' was but thanks to blogging I do know. However - I haven't read any. 
This is credited as the first manga magazine.

Q2. My non-bookish Question to go along with Q1: Do you watch anime movies??
A: I have seen some anime movies -- thanks to my son! I guess the one that comes to mind is Princess Monoke,  a 1997 Japanese animated epic historical fantasy.

At the end of each month I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a book choice or GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! We can always use fresh questions. I do have a group of questions from the same submitters so if you have a question don't be afraid to ask!

  7. 1. Yes, I love manga! I mainly read shojo and yaoi, but I will give anything a try.

    2. I used to watch anime series, but I stopped. My friends have an anime viewing night once a month, so I might start again.

  10. 1 - No I've never read a manga comic, but I've seen some depictions online - I'll have to see if I can find one to check out
    2 - haven't seen a anime movie but I used to watch something years ago that I think would be classified as anime - I can't remember what it was called. Do they show anime on cable?

  15. I read manga from time to time. I really enjoyed Descendants of Darkness several years ago. I started reading Gundam, but that is a very long series.

    Same thing with anime - I watch it from time to time. Princess Mononoke is a favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  16. No to both. Never been interested.

  17. 1. No, I don't read comic books.

    2. I don't think I've seen any anime movies.

  18. 1) I read a lot of manga in High School! I loved to read and they were the newest thing so I really for into them. I liked how you read them backwards and they had images. It was different!

    2) I have never really watched anime movies or shows. My brother does, he loves them, so once in a while I'll catch several minutes of some, but I have never watched it fully.

  19. I used to read Sakura Card Captors but I had a headache so I prefer just to watch the anime series.

    I do watch a lot of anime movies, Princess Mononoke is one of my favorite. But the one I truly love is Howl's Moving Castle, if you haven't watch it I recommend it to you. I love another ones, like Spirited Away, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, Final Fantasy: Advent Children and Grave of the Fireflies (This one is really sad)

  20. Thanks for using my question Martha!

    Q1. OF COURSE! Since I asked the question. I love and collect a few manga series. The only bad thing about collecting mangas is that I have less time and money for English books. But luckily they take a really short time to get through.

    Q2. Yup. Movies and series! Love them. Howl's Moving Castle is really good!! Am loving a swimming anime series right now called Free! It just started so there's just a few episodes for now. Very light watching. Although you might laugh your head off or get a few nosebleeds.
