    1) New, Used, Either, Hardback, Paperback, Ebook...Preferences? Nookbook is my preference. I'm not a huge used book fan (I'm a bit of a germaphobe and I worry about snuggling in bed with a book someone else had in their bathroom) but if I have enough wine I can get past that.

    2) What do you usually read? Fiction. I was on a YA kick last year and still enjoy it. Right now I'm reading historical fiction (Fall of Giants) and liking it much more than I thought I would. I've religiously used goodreads for a few years now. I'm Jliongrrrl there too.

    3) Is there a genre you haven't read much of, but would like to try? Not really, I don't limit myself to one genre.

    4) Favorite candy or treat? Dark chocolate or anything with carmel. I love pumpkin scented/flavored stuff (but not the new pumpkin spice m&m's, they were just weird).

    5) Genres you are not a fan of? I don't enjoy a biography. I've tried, I fall asleep and it takes me a month to read it. I'm also a scardy cat so no horror please (unless you want me to call you when I wake up with nightmares).

    6) Allergies? Food items/treats/candy you hate? NKA- I don't like coconut or Reeses pb cups (used to live right by the Reeses factory in Hershey and now the smell still bothers me).

    7) Anything else relevant you'd like to share with your elf? I love the fall/Halloween exchange! I am a fan of both fall and Halloween so whatever you choose is great. Something local to you is always fun. Thanks in advance!

    Sorry...been on bed rest and have been too scatterbrained to respond till now....


    1) New, Used, Either, Hardback, Paperback, Ebook...Preferences?  Prefer physical book over ebooks.  I do have a Kindle but I use it mostly for free books.  New, Used, Either, Hardback, Paper...doesn't matter to me.  Most of my books are used.

    2) What do you usually read?  YA, fantasy, scifi, historical, historical romance with some time travel built in

    3) Is there a genre you haven't read much of, but would like to try? Chick Lit is one that I have never really tried much of.

    4) Favorite candy or treat?  I love fruity stuff.  And marshmallows!
     
    5) Genres you are not a fan of? Not a fan of horror or suspense.

    6) Allergies? Food items/treats/candy you hate? Celiac, so can't have gluten.  And I'm soy sensitive too.  I'm really not picky though, anything I get I'll probably end up sharing with others if I can't have it.

    7) Anything else relevant you'd like to share with your elf?  I love surprises, getting and giving!  Thanks elf!
