THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION:  Which would you rather live without? Books or chocolate.

I’m currently reading… The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater (again)!

I have been wanting to reread these for a while and in my current barely post-slump state I thought now was a good time to reread something I know I like. I’m trying to pace myself a bit so I don’t get back into a slump, but I love the way these books are written so that’s hard to do!
On a slightly odd note:  A friend of mine who isn’t as big a reader has had me reading these to them, which has actually been weirdly fun.

Which would you rather live without? Books or chocolate.
Normally my response to anything like this would be that you won’t get me giving up chocolate till you pry it from my cold dead hands! But of course you had to bring books into it… I can’t even imagine life without books. In fact, the only time I don’t read incessantly is when I’m struggling more than usual with my depression (see recent months). So as much as it hurts me to say, it would have to be chocolate I gave up.
But I’m not giving up either, no one can make me!
