Here's another reader interview.
I'm Lorraine, woman, mummy, avid reader and superhero at times. Because I have to be serious at work I tend to let myself go at home and am always up for a good laugh, especially if it's on me. I stopped reading due to lack of time, but I'm really making up for it now that I have my kindle. Everybody loves me and I love everybody !
1.What genre do you prefer to read?It keeps changing. Sometimes I'm on a gore kick, sometimes Iwant a bit of romance. Sometimes I like to read something "in between". I guessthe common point to most of the books I read is a certain level of suspense.Give me boring and I'll put the book down at the first occasion.
2.Is there a favourite book you've read more than a few times because you foundthe story so engrossing?No. There's not enough time in life to read all the books Iwant to read, so I don't tend to re-read books. I did once though, aromance-type book, because I guess I wasn't feeling loved enough and I just hadto make up for it somehow !
3.Do you read paperbacks or ebooks more?I'm afraid it's ebooks every time… I'm a bit of a kindlefreak and it's much more convenient to read the kindle when walking, cooking,eating etc than a paper book.
4.If you have an ereader has your reading increased or changed in any way?Yes, it totally got me reading again.
5.Have you ever thought of penning a book yourself?No, I have the imagination of a lobster.
6.What makes a book an absolute must read in your eyes? Is it characterisationor plot that's more important?If I had a choice, it would be plot. But what makes a bookan absolute must read is the number of recommendations and the fact that it's abook that I show an interest in.
7.In the ebook world what do you consider is the best way to grab a reader'sattention?I don't think I have experience enough of the ebook world toanswer, but I guess a good title and good blurb is probably the most important.Personally, I'd also say the level of interaction of thewriter in the forum. I'm trying to go round all the authors on here, and I'mmore likely to pick up a book from someone who I've been having chats with thansomeone who's just put a thread in the author section and done nothing else.
8.Name 6 authors you'd invite to dinner.Can I invite all the authors from the forum? And all theother members? And have a big party ?
9.If you were stranded on a desert island what three items would you take withyou?My kindle, my hubby, and my little boy… oooh just realisedthat makeup doesn't make it on my list of priorities… there must be somethingwrong…
