Haha Erin, I know! I always order from the Barnes & Noble online website, but I still enjoy browsing through the store because I just like being there with the books xD
Okay, that sounds kind of weird.

I don't have a particular preference, as I've read and loved books with both.
However, when there are several prominent, interesting main characters, I like third person because typically the author will let you see different characters' thoughts. Third person also makes it seem like you're right there watching what's going on, instead of listening to someone else's tale.
That being said, first person has its advantages. You get to read more about their inner thoughts and feelings, which builds a connection with the reader.

When I write, I always feel bad because I compare my writing to books I've read or my friends' writing. I'd think about how my protagonist is not nearly as awesome as Isabelle Lightwood, or how the romance isn't as cute and amazing as Chaolaena, haha. And then I get frutrated and don't feel like writing anymore... Does anyone have any advice?

Nice picks! ;) Tell me how you like Say What You Will, I saw it at Barnes & Noble the other day and it looked interesting. Unfortunately, I only have so much money to spend on books xD
