Book Tag 

1.Hardback or trade paperback or mass market paperback? Typically I prefer Hardback... But really doesn't matter as long as it is a good book :) I especially love old, 1960's or older, books on American History.

2.Barnes & Nobels or Borders?  It really doesn't matter YET.. So far I am getting good, old used books & loving them :)  I'll eventually have to get brand new books for certain things though

3.Bookmark or dogear?   Well, I am guilty of dog earring a page or two in my life  But bookmarks definatly!!!

4.Alphabetize by author or alphabetize by title or random? Actually neither, I organize by subject & contents. Like my books on the American Revolution are in one spot & my books about Thomas Jefferson in their own spot.. ect.   

5.Keep, throw away, or sell? Well If it is a book I Loe I tend to keep it.. (I get sentimental )  But if it is a very good one that I no longer have use for..., I would either give it to someone who could & would definatly use it, or sell it. Books that are totally pointless & evil  I would add to the camp fire

6.Keep dust jacket or toss it? I keep them, unless it is in very, very, very bad shape then I'd have to painfully toss it. But more than likely I would neatly fold it & place it in the back of the book or use it for a book marker for that book  

7.Short story or novel? Hmmm, Well I like them both, It all depends on what it is about for me... As long as it can capture my mind.. I have no preferance. 

8.Collection (short stories by same author) or anthology (short stories by different authors)? Collection tends to suit me. But I have read a few books that had little short storys/lessons from various Christian people that were Excellent! 

9.Harry Potter or Lemony Snicket? Never in my life heard of "Lemony Snicket"! & don't like Harry Potter, soooo.. NEITHER! 

10.Stop reading when tired or at chapter breaks.  When I feel myself getting sleepy, I read until the end of that chapter, unless...I there is ALOT of reading left to do, then I'll just stop where I am.

11."It was a dark and stormy night..."  or "Once upon a time..." Typically we don't read either type of book... We definaltly don't  like scarry books n' stuff.. So I'd say "once upon a time"  

12.Buy or borrow? Borrow more often than buy. Actually I have a daughter that usually says “Mom you HAVE to read this!” Buy! Only because when I borrow a book to read. I never get totally done reading it before the "owner" wants it back. Usually it is because..something comes up & I get side tracked for a while & totally forgot where I was in the book when I pick it back up a month later!!! . So I'd have to start ALL over from the beginning!!!

13New or used? Actually I prefer used! Especially for historic learning type of books. The older the better! I need to find library book sales this summer!  

14Buying choice: book reviews, recommendation or browse?
Any of them works fine, I always do my own "investigating"  anyways before I BUY... Typically it is by recommendation or my own browsing though.

15Tidy ending or cliffhanger?  That is a tough one!!! I sorta like tidy endings. It all depends on what kind of book it is though.

16Morning reading, afternoon reading or nighttime reading?
Evening for my own personal reading time. .. The rest of the day (especially the mornings) are too busy/chaotic. To sit down & soak up a book. 

17.Stand-alone or series? Definatly a series! I love the Leftbehind books! When I was a kid, I loved Walter Farley's Black Stallion series of books... they were great!

18. Favorite series?  Left Behind

19. Favorite children's book? Not quite sure about that one!.. hmmm.... The mouse & the motorcycle is really cute

20.  Favorite book of which nobody else has heard? Sorry I must pick 1 book from each of my 4 favorite reading topics... 
Christian (world view): "Be Intolerant..because some things are just stupid" By Ryan Dobson.
History: "1776:Journals of American Independence" By: George Sanderlin. (older book)
Politics: " Liberalism is a Mental Disorder" By: Michael Savage
Christian (Marriage/Family): "Created to be his helpmeet" by:Debbie Pearl

21. Favorite book(s) read last year?  "Created to be his Helpmeet" by: Debbie Pearl

22. Favorite books of all time? The Bible of course! & all the ones I listed above in the "nobody heard of section"

23. Least favorite book you finished last year? To be quite honest, I NEVER finished a book that I didn't like. If it didn't "get me" in the first 2 or 3 chapters.. I got tooo bord & never picked it back up .  I haven't had that happen in many, many years! So I can't answer this question.

24. What are you reading right now? Nothing at this present moment.. Between dr. appts &  other stuff...I've been busy trying to get organizing & cleaning done for homeschooling this  coming summer & so on...which is a pain due to my back & I'm "not allowed" to lift barely anything!  

25. What are you reading next? I'm planning on reading "Founding Mothers... women of America in the Revolutionary Era" by: Linda Grant De Pauw"
