I found this book meme over at Rocks in My Dryer. I love to read, so I thought I'd participate!
Hardback or trade paperback or mass market paperback?
Hardback, but nice paperbacks are good too.
Amazon or brick and mortar?
Lately, Amazon.
Barnes & Noble or Borders?
No Borders around here till we cross the Michigan border. ;-)
Bookmark or dogear?
I *never* used bookmarks until the last few years. My mom always wondered how on earth I could find my place in my book without marking it. But now (is it age??? *gasp*) I'm finding that a bookmark is the easiest way to go.
Alphabetize by author or alphabetize by title or random?
Alphabetize? OCD for sure. LOL I group my titles by general category.
Keep, throw away, or sell?
Keep.
Keep dust jacket or toss it?
Keep.
Read with dust jacket or remove it?
AGH! I hate reading a book with a dust jacket on it!!! I always remove it!
Short story or novel?
Both are good, but I prefer novels.
Collection (short stories by same author) or anthology (short stories by different authors)?
Again, both are good.
Harry Potter or Lemony Snicket?
I haven't read either.
Stop reading when tired or at chapter breaks?
Chapter breaks, but preferably the end of the book. LOL When I start reading a good book, I'm in it for the long haul!
“It was a dark and stormy night” or “Once upon a time”?
Once upon a time.
Buy or Borrow?
Most always borrow from the library.
New or used?
New, but used is a good option if it is available.
Buying choice: book reviews, recommendation or browse?
Recommendation and browsing.
Tidy ending or cliffhanger?
Tidy ending!
Morning reading, afternoon reading or nighttime reading?
Nighttime all the way, and sometimes nighttime till morning!
Stand-alone or series?
Both are fine.
Favorite series?
Anne of Green Gables.
Favorite children's book?
All of a Kind Family series.
Favorite book of which nobody else has heard?
Books by Francena Arnold. I can't guarantee that no one has heard of them, but they are hard to find.

Favorite books of all time?

Every Perfect Gift - Julie Nye

Tammy, what a great meme! I am so excited to see Papa's Wife mentioned! Oh my goodness it has been years since I read Bjorn's books! My memory is that they were an excellent read! Hope you enjoy. :o)
Oo, I stole this meme.
I haven't read Papa's Wife in some years! Isn't that the one where in one chapter her husband is too sick to preach, so she goes to church and does it for him? Something about his salary being too low. :) That was funny. Good memory, I'll have to see where that book is hiding around here. Not like I don't have lots of books to search through to find it. :Op
Anne, yes, the book is the one you're thinking of! =)
Oh! I love this meme!
And, I am thrilled to know that Thyra Ferre Bjorn is still being read!
I love picturing the winter's worth of laundry laid out on the lawn to dry.
Judy, thank you for stopping by! I have read Papa's Wife in the past, and am thoroughly enjoying rereading it!
