dawnebethGrabbed this from exbex. ;-)
1. Hardback or paperback? Whatever I can get my hands on, baby. Admittedly, hardbacks are heavier to carry around.
2. Borrow or buy? Both--libraries draw me in like a fly to honey, and so do bookstores, although I tend to get most books from used book sales, and people giving them to me.
3. Fantasy or sci-fi? Probably Fantasy, but I read both.
4. Love-triangle or love at first sight? Hmm, romance as a main theme is my least favorite, but I'd say I do like the love at first sight when it's in the context of the story and doesn't get in the way of the plot.
5. Wall shelves or bookcases? I have bookcases.
6. Bad plot with good characters or good plot with bad characters? If the book doesn't grab me in a few pages, I'd bail on any story.
7. Harry Potter or Percy Jackson? I’ve read Harry Potter, but did see a Percy Jackson movie.
8. Booklr or bookstagram? I don't know what those are.
9. Contemporaries or fantasy? Probably fantasy, still.
10. English books or books in your native language? English. I probably could limp through a children's book in French but not a novel.
11. Buy in a bookshop or buy online? Both. I love wandering through a bookstore.
12. Amazon or Book Depository? Amazon. don't know Book Depository.
13. Buy because of the cover or because of the description? I'll admit to having bought a book for the cover.
14. Alphabetical shelves or colour coordinated? Uh--shoved in, mostly, any old way, although I do have series and same authors grouped together.
15. different sized books or matching sizes? all different sizes.
16. Wait to marathon a series or read as they’re released? As they’re released.
17. Movie or tv adaptations? Well, I generally prefer the book, although in the case of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, I have to say that since the books really needed editing badly, the movies did trim the fat and stick to the main story line better.
18. Zombies or vampires? Neither. Zombies--ick. I do read Patricia Briggs books which feature werewolves and the odd vampire, but really that's my exception.
19. Reading indoors or outdoors? Indoors.
20. Coffee or tea? Tea, always
21. Bookmarks or random objects to mark your page? Bookmarks--I have a zillion of them.
22. Dog-earing or bookmarks? I do dog-ear paperbacks because the bookmarks always slide right out.
23. Be your favourite character or be their best friend? I never put myself in books (or TV shows)--which is why I write fanfiction. I want to continue their adventures, not my own.
24. Physical or e-book? Real books all the way.
25. Read in bed or on a chair? Chair.
26. Audiobook or ebook? I don't have an ebook reader and have only done a handful of audiobooks, although they are nice for a long car ride.
27. Series or stand-alones? I love series!
28. Reading in the winter or reading in the summer? Every season!
