Tag, I'm it…

So, I totally poached this from several people’s blogs. *grin*

Contemporary, Historical, or Paranormal?
Hm, er, uh… I guess if I had to pick, I’d say contemporary, but there are a lot of paranormal authors who are giving contemps a huge run for their money.

Hardback or Trade Paperback or Mass Market Paperback?
Definitely the mass market… I find it hard to curl up with the other two and they don’t fit as well in the smaller purses I tend to carry. Of course, I’ve been moving into a lot of e-books, which fit *very* neatly on my Life Drive, which is the most awesomest PDA ever.

Heyer or Austen?
Is it bad I’ve never read either? And I even took a Victorian Fiction class in Uni. *sigh*

Amazon or Brick and Mortar?
Hmm… I gotta go with Amazon for prices and availability. But brick and mortar fuels my passions.

Barnes & Noble or Borders?
Er, neither? We don’t have those in Canada. And here all our brick and mortar stores are owned by the same company…

Woodiwiss or Lindsay?
oh. oh, that’s not fair. I started in romance with both of these. But since Lindsay created James Mallory, my favouritest hero, I gotta go with her.

First romance novel you ever remember reading?
Romancing the Stone… let’s just say the book version of the movie was *way* steamier.

Alphabetize by author, Alphabetize by title, or random?
Er, by author, but also by genre.

Keep, Throw Away or Sell?
Keep. Definitely keep. Just look at the pile of about 400 books sitting on my office floor that I’m *supposed* to take to the UBS.

Read with dustjacket or remove it?
I usually remove it. I’m a klutz and I always rip it when it stays on.

Sookie Stackhouse or Anita Blake?
I guess Anita, if only cuz I haven’t read Sookie. Um, who is Sookie?

Bridget Jones or Becky Bloomwood?
Well… Becky pisses me off and has since half-way through the first book. Bridget didn’t piss me off til the end of the second book, so I guess Bridget. But I like Sophie’s writing better.

Stop reading when tired or at chapter breaks?
I don’t stop until I’m either done or I fall asleep while I’m reading.

“It was a dark and stormy night” or “Once upon a time”?
Both. Sorry.

Crusie or SEP?
Definitely Crusie. Love me the Crusie.

Buy or Borrow?
Buy. I want it when I want it.

Buying choice: Book Reviews, Recommendation or Browse?
Hm… mostly browse, but I do remember who’s been recommended to me when I get to the store. I rarely read reviews. I never agree with them.

Tidy ending or Cliffhanger?
Tidy ending. Definitely. I’m still very bitter at certain authors who left me hanging. (Mariann Mancusi, I’m looking at you…)

Morning reading, Afternoon reading or Nighttime reading?
How about all day reading?

Series or standalone?
As much as I hate the cliffhanger, I love revisiting old friends in a series…

Favorite book of which nobody else has heard?
Wow. I’m stumped. I don’t know if anyone’s heard of any of the books I read…. So I’ll just plug a friend, Michelle Rowen‘s Angel with Attitude.

I guess I’m supposed to tag more people with this, but I don’t actually know if anyone visits me yet. *grin* So, I’ll name Rene, Michelle and Bonnie, on the slim hope they hang out, and a “you’re it” to anyone else who wants to poach…
