Great! Thanks.
Can graphic novels count? I just finished Teen Titans: Prime of Life and it was 200 pages long. They fought demons in Pakistan.
My Best of 2011 (in no particular order):
1. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack? Yes, I do like to nibble often while reading, nothing special.
2. What is your favorite drink while reading?
Don't really have a favorite, often it's lemonade or soda pop.
3. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?
I detest writing in a book, but I have made special exceptions for specific nonfiction resources I have.
4. How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ear? Laying the book flat open?
Bookmarks is my prefered method, but if I am going to be right back I might lay a book flat open if I don't have a bookmark close at hand.
5. Fiction, Non-Fiction, or Both?
Fiction a bit more than non-fiction
6. Are you a person who tends to read to the end of a chapter, or can you stop anywhere?
I can stop anywhere but I prefer to read to the end of a chapter.
7. Are you a person to throw a book across the room or on the floor if the author irritates you?
Nah.
8. If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop and look it up right away?
I stop and look it up right away. I like to keep a dictionary near by just in case.
9. What are you currently reading?
Just finished First Drop of Crimson by Jeaniene Frost
10. What is the last book you bought?
Disappearing Nightly by Laura Resnick
11. Are you a person that reads one book at a time, or can you read more than one?
I can read more than one but I prefer not to.
12. Do you have a favorite time/place to read?
Not really.
13. Do you prefer series books or stand-alones?
I like both.
14. Is there a specific book or author you find yourself recommending over and over?
No, I recommend SO many different ones.
15. How do you organize your books? By genre, title, author's last name, etc?
By genre, then author, then series order, then single titles.
I've only been to three countries outside the U.S.: England, Spain, and the Bahamas. I have seen quite a bit of the U.S. by going on birdwatching trips: IL, IN, IA, MI, WI, CA, FL, AZ, CO, and I just got back the other day from a short trip to Las Vegas, NV.
40% Classic, 30% Romance, 10% Humor, 10% Fantasy, and %10 Horror.To be honest, kind of surprising, I thought I'd be a bit more fantasy and not so much romance. :-)
