As a result of being tagged by Ms. Cece Stuart (since I’d never do this on my own because I’m a pretty boring person):

Contemporary, Historical, or Paranormal?
Paranormal, Contemporary, Historical, in that order.

Hardback or Trade Paperback or Mass Market Paperback?
MM Paperback or Trade. I have to really love something to come off the money for a Hardback.

Heyer or Austen?
Austen.

Amazon or Brick and Mortar?
I love a real bookstore. I can spend hours and hours there, much like a really good library. But I find myself using Amazon more lately. No problem finding what I want there.

Barnes & Noble or Borders?
Borders, but only because there’s no B&N close to where I live.

Woodiwiss or Lindsay?
Haven’t read Woodiwiss, so it’s Lindsay.

First romance novel you ever remember reading?
Depends on your definition of romance. :yesyesyes:
I read Wuthering Heights at a very young age, but I’m not sure that would qualify by current definitions. I suppose, then, it would have to be Jane Eyre. (yup, loved the Bronte sisters). :grin:

Alphabetize by author Alphabetize by title or random?
More by genre, I suppose. I have a lot of books on a lot of different subjects. Love books!

Keep, Throw Away or Sell?
Keep. Although I have given some away.
Throwing a book away is an atrocity in my eyes. Had to do it once when my mom’s basement flooded, and it actually made me weep.
Must confess, though—last year I tossed a contemporary erotica. I simply refused to have it in my house, and didn’t want to unleash it upon the world to give the genre an even worse reputation… :nonono:

Read with dustjacket or remove it?
With dustjacket, carefully preserved.

Sookie Stackhouse or Anita Blake?
Haven’t read either.

Stop reading when tired or at chapter breaks?
When tired. That’s what bookmarks are for!

“It was a dark and stormy night” or “Once upon a time”?
It was a dark and stormy night. DEFINITELY. Any night. Any time. All night. :razz:

Crusie or SEP?
Toss-up.

Buy or Borrow?
There are lots of small libraries here, but the only large one is a good 20-mile drive. And I don’t like to borrow them from friends, since I like to take my time. So it’s buy.

Buying choice: Book Reviews, Recommendation or Browse?
All of the above will get me to look—but I still need to peruse them myself before I buy.

Tidy ending or Cliffhanger?
Whichever suits the mood and momentum of the book.

Morning reading, Afternoon reading or Nighttime reading?
Nighttime.

Series or standalone?
Standalone with romance, although there have been exceptions. But I do like a good mystery series.

Favorite book of which nobody else has heard?
Hard for me to say what other people have or have not heard of…
But one I know for sure is called, “Looking for Mr. Pinky.”
