Hmmm, a favorite character or hero...I don't have only one in books. I like so many different characters, like the ones in a Dr. Seuss book, or any book that draws me into it.In movies, this is going to sound strange, but it's the Predator aliens. Anytime there's a new movie made with them in it, I jump and get all excited. I admire them:)
I only have one hero--my late grandmother.
Good for you, Christine.

Hi guys!I'm brand new to the group so please pardon me if this isn't the best topic for my comment.
I've been enjoying buying used books lately. Does anyone do the same? Which websites would you suggest?
I'm in Europe and I'm currently buying on Awsome books and World of books (if I can mention them here).
