Thanks to everyone who commented last week.
Many of us had a hard time to think of a 'weird' place that we visited although there were many unusual places mentioned. The two weirdest I thought that were mentioned were the Winchester Mystery house in San Jose mentioned by Booklady and the huge human nose at a science fair mentioned by Nikki.

The Winner from SBB #145 comments is: #7 scottsgal who can make a GC choice if international or book choice from the ARC/Review titles, Christmas titles or Love titles - all linked near the end of the post. Please let me know your choice by completing the (new) WINNER FORM.
WEEK #146 (One Question.)
Q1. Becky asks: Do you make a picture in your mind while reading??
A: I wish I could say I see the stories I read and listen to, but I don't. I feel like I have limited mental imagery talent. I don't know if it is related to my generally poor eyesight (legally blind without correction). I usually only get blurry images of a story. Rarely do I get a clear picture except when it is something I might relate to like an orange glowing sunset or pink sunrise over water.Thanks to those who are sending in Questions. DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask. Input suggestions in this Suggested Question Form. 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 still have a supply of questions but from the same people so hopefully others will send more in -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify to use.
Your turn to share:

Not really.
ReplyDeleteOnce in a while I make a picture in my mind while reading, but for the most part I don't.
ReplyDeleteNo, I've a terrible imagination which is probably why I like to read so much.
ReplyDeleteI mostly have a picture or image as I read. Sometimes the story will unfold like a movie would.
ReplyDeleteI don't know where my comment went so I'll try again.
ReplyDeleteI have a very creative menatl picture whenever I read a book. It's so embedded in my mind that whenever a book is made into a movie I can't get used to whoever they cast. :)

I always visualise what I read. This is particularly true of settings in Asia.
ReplyDeletenot always but that happens especially if i really love the book then i can even dream of it
ReplyDeleteI would say what I picture is more abstract.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do try to get a picture in my mind. It satisfies me and I guess I will never know if I'm wrong!!

Great question, I feel like I am watching a movie in my mind when I am reading, I call it the great escape.
ReplyDeleteYes I do, it's like watching a movie.
ReplyDeleteYes, I tend to create a picture in my mind while reading, but it depends on the book.
ReplyDeleteI imagine the entire book in pictures in my mind---that's why I hate to see any movie based on a book I read since nothing is the same as I imagined,

I try to. And mostly succeed. Unless it's some huge structure or building with multiple arches or something, then I get lost.
ReplyDeletenot really
ReplyDeleteYes - I often do, but faces are usually fuzzy.
ReplyDeleteIf it's a book that really descriptive then I can see it - otherwise I don't pay much attention
ReplyDeleteYes, I do! They even have different voices so it's pretty much like watching a movie.
ReplyDeleteYes, I often have full movie style scenes playing in my head. If I can't picture it, then I often enjoy the story less.
ReplyDeleteI always "See what I read" :)
