I thought I'd never like ebooks, but now I'm 100% converted and will choose my ereader over a paper book any day.<br /><br />2. I don't care if it's a novel or novella, as long as the story is good. :)<br /><br />3. My mom never took us to the library, so I grew up with buying books and I still do that. I did use the school library, but always hated having to turn in favorites. <br /><br />4. Started in mystery with Hardy Boys and Black Stallion Series, moved to romance, went through a spy/thriller phase with Jack Higgins, back to romance for years, where I stuck with any sub-genre I could find at rummage sales. Since publishing my own books, I've read the books of friends of mine and enjoyed sci-fi, horror, YA, thriller and fantasy. It's been fun branching out, but Romance is still my first choice.<br /><br />5. I read mostly in bed at night, sometimes on the couch, or in the car while waiting for kids.<br />Stacey Joy Netzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13908548379784017162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333196763177183737.post-42422233097344649942013-03-15T15:55:59.209-05:002013-03-15T15:55:59.209-05:00I learned something new about you, Donna.

Thanks for telling me more about you, even after all our GNOs. :-)mommustwritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343374657981709016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333196763177183737.post-53111920913449106262013-03-14T23:20:40.654-05:002013-03-14T23:20:40.654-05:00Sorry I'm, late to the party, Jamie! Great pos...Sorry I'm, late to the party, Jamie! Great post! :-)<br /><br />1. I prefer paperbacks. I like my Kindle, but I still prefer the feel of a regular ol' book in my hands.<br /><br />2. I prefer noverls as well, though I appreciate novellas much more now that I write them. ;-)<br /><br />3. I used to go to the library once a week back when I first started reading. I was in my early twenties, I didn't have any kids yet, so I could read all day & night if I wanted. Boy, sometimes I miss those days...LOL Thank God for GNO.<br /><br />4. I'm with you, Jamie, I'm a romance reader. I rarely stray from the genre, and there are only a few sub-genres I don't care for as much, like Christian, fantasy, sci-fi.<br /><br />5. Honestly...I read every time I use the ladies' room. LOL My favorite place to read is in a hot bath (hence my author tagline), though sometime I sit at my desk, kick my feet up on the bed, and read for a bit. :-)<br /><br />Thanks for the fun post, Jamie!!Donna Marie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642269808104367931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333196763177183737.post-42407591729352084602013-03-13T08:16:00.935-05:002013-03-13T08:16:00.935-05:00Hi Casey.

Thanks for stopping by to tell me a little more about you. mommustwritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343374657981709016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333196763177183737.post-26832021356216719142013-03-12T20:51:24.629-05:002013-03-12T20:51:24.629-05:00Jamie,

If I want an autographed copy and know I will be able to get one from the author, I also buy a book but it stays pristine.<br />2. I love novels and novellas, especially if the characters in the latter continue like a TV program. I don't read short stories--too short.<br />3. I mostly buy books I read now though I used to use the library and often traded books with reader friends. Now I don't want to remember who the book belongs to and I can't depend I will read the book in time to get it back to the library. <br />4. I tend to read romantic suspense, historicals sometimes, but I'm picky with those. And WF/ST with a love story, friends, family etc. Once in a while I deviate and love it, but more often than not I'm interested. It's personal preference not a condemnation of other genres.<br />5. When I had more time to read, I read whenever I could and often several books a week. Now I read at lunch if I'm eating alone, and sometimes at night for a while. <br />Now you know a little about me and the grumpy reader that I am. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333196763177183737.post-4630490484376731322013-03-12T20:30:29.336-05:002013-03-12T20:30:29.336-05:00I love the variety of books that you read, Delia. ...I love the variety of books that you read, Delia.

I don't have an e-reader and don't like reading on my computer. Also, which segues into your 3rd question, I get most of my books from the library or thrift store. I read so voraciously that I'd go bankrupt if I bought all my books, so I don't own nearly as many books as most people and the ones I do own are the 5/$1 thrift store variety. <br /><br />I prefer full-length books, once again, because I read so fast I'd have to spend waaaay too much time looking for something new to read. Plus, novellas tend to leave me hungry for more, full length are more satisfying.<br /><br />I read anything. Presently, my to be read pile consists of a story of a man training a service dog, a YA spy book, a Get Fuzzy comic book, a political thriller, etc etc, you get the picture. 99.99% of my reading gets done in my La-Z-Boy recliner in the living room, though I have been known to occasionally read in bed when things get to crazy in the main part of my house.<br /><br />Whew, that's a lot of question answering!Delia DeLeesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01606725675389245436noreply@blogger.com
