Jay's Book meme...

Last week I said I would attempt this, but didn't get to do it before the Thanksgiving holiday. My DH was home for 5 straight days, I was thrilled when he went back to work yesterday. Finally, today I'm back on a normal schedule. I hadn't blog hopped in 6 days, just popped in an out of a couple of blogs when I had time. It took my 7 days to finish 2 books.

Okay, here goes, Jay's book meme:

1. 99% of what I read is romance, it's what I like, it's what I read. If that makes me a girly girl so be it.
2. I pay little or no attention to character description and rarely visualize the hero and heroine.
3. I love dialogue with the exception of Catherine Coulter's overly witty converstations, I perpetually feel somehow out of the loop.
4. I don't crack or crease the spines of my books if I can help it.
5. I could care less abou the size of a book, paperback, trade, hardback, I read them all.
6. Nothing keeps me from buying books, not even food, if I really want it I buy it--though I am getting more and more from the library, which makes my husband happy as he likes to eat.
7. I rarely buy a book by it's cover.
8. I've gotten to the point cover art doesn't bother me, except those really bad ebook covers--those are just creepy.
9. I'd take a good medieval over any other romance sub-genre.
10. I still read Nora Roberts even though her trilogies are faithful to the Nora formula--comfort read, what can I say.
11. I don't read NR's alter ego, JD Robb any more, though I love Rourke, Eve was starting to annoy me.
12. I don't read Jayne Ann Krentz for the same reason I read NR--formula, I can't explain it.
13. Linda Howard will be an auto buy until she retires, though I'm not buying her in hardback anymore.
14. I have a love/hate relationships with series, either I love them...Julia Quinn, Liz Carlyle, Eloise James or hate them...Feehan, Kenyon.
15. Give me an alpha hero over a beta any day of the week.
16. As long as the heroine isn't TSTL, I don't care what type of personality she is.
17. I don't leave the house without a book, you never know when you'll be stuck in traffic, though I refuse to read and drive at the same time.
18. I reread keepers on a regular basis.
19. I usually use whatever is at hand as a bookmark, even though I have a great cat and mouse bookmark, and if I can't find anything I'll remember the last page.
20. When riding in the car with my husband, I'll sit in the back seat and read so I can ignore his lousy driving (though he claims to be the world's best driver--LOL--hopefully he wont read this.)
21. It took me years to give up reading the last few pages of a book first.
22. I love Susan Johnson's historical footnotes.
23. I love book dedications.
24. I always read the "coming soon" sections.
25. I read in bed with a flashlight, just like when I was a kid.

If I think about it I could probably come up with a few more, but 25 sounds like a nice round number.

Have a great day and happy reading.
