I’m stealing this from Bewitched By Books and if you “steal” it from me, leave a comment here so I can come and read your answers. I love seeing what other people are reading, their favorite author and books.

Science Fiction, Fantasy or Horror?

***When I was reviewing at RRT I did some Science Fiction, didn't care for it but that is strange because I love Star Trek. Fantasy, not so much but last week I was reading blurbs on Ellora's Cave Romantica about a heroine that turns into a dragon, hummm might have to check this out . Horror, never! Don't even watch horror movies.

Hardback or Trade Paperback or Mass Market Paperback?

***I love paperbacks....hardbacks are hard to read when you're curled up.

Amazon or Brick and Mortar?

***I wish brick and mortar....I live in a small town with Hastings as our bookstore. Have you ever seen a romance section at Hastings??? Older published books and full retail.

Barnes & Noble or Borders?

***To far to drive.

Hitchhiker or Discworld?

***I’ve never read Douglas Adams and I have no freakin’ clue what Discworld is. Ditto - I take Bewitched answer.

Bookmark or Dogear?

***Bookmark!

Asimov’s Science Fiction or Fantasy & Science Fiction? *** Neither.

Alphabetize by author, Alphabetize by title, or random?

***Again, Bewitched and I have the same answer. Alphabetize by author, then by title among the same author. But if it’s a series then it is in order of the series.

Keep, Throw Away or Sell?

***I have a keeper shelf of about 300, only toss if the book is damaged, don't sell anymore but I trade them for credits at PBS.

Keep dust-jacket or toss it?

***I don't usually read HBs but why would anyone toss a dust jacket?

Read with dustjacket or remove it?

*** I leave it on.

Short story or novel?

***I love the novels but holiday themes I like to read short and fast.

Harry Potter or Lemony Snicket? *** Neither.

Stop reading when tired or at chapter breaks?

***Chapter break unless I have to get up and can't get back to finish the chapter.

“It was a dark and stormy night” or “Once upon a time?” *** Both!

Buy or Borrow?

***I hate to borrow so I buy or trade.

Buying choice: Book Reviews, Recommendation or Browse?

***I read mostly readers Blogs, Yahoo lists and cyber friends who rave about a wonderful book they've read.

Lewis or Tolkien? *** Tolkien

Collection (short stories by the same author) or Anthology (short stories by different authors)?

***Both, Mary Balogh has some get short stories and anthology.

Tidy ending or Cliffhanger?

Favorite book of which nobody else has heard?

***WHEN THERE IS HOPE by Jane Goodger - 6/1996 - Rom/TT/R-Victorian
