Sharing Beyond Books #146 Comment Giveaway April 12, 2014

Hello again on Saturday night and Welcome to Sharing Beyond Books, SBB!
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.
Image found at FStoppers.

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:

Q1. Becky asks: Do you make a picture in your mind while reading??

    Once in a while I make a picture in my mind while reading, but for the most part I don't.

    I mostly have a picture or image as I read. Sometimes the story will unfold like a movie would.

    I don't know where my comment went so I'll try again.
    I 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.

    I would say what I picture is more abstract.

    Yes, 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.

    Yes I do, it's like watching a movie.

    Yes, I tend to create a picture in my mind while reading, but it depends on the book.

    I 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.

    Yes - I often do, but faces are usually fuzzy.

    If it's a book that really descriptive then I can see it - otherwise I don't pay much attention

    Yes, I do! They even have different voices so it's pretty much like watching a movie.

  19. UnknownApril 16, 2014 at 7:50 PM

    Yes, I often have full movie style scenes playing in my head. If I can't picture it, then I often enjoy the story less.
