New or Used is fine but I prefer paperback but I also love ebooks especially for the longer books.

Savanna111911 · September 2013

1) New, Used, Either, Hardback, Paperback, Ebook...Preferences?

I tend to mostly read on my kindle (when I buy books I usually buy kindle), but I'm perfectly fine with hardback, paperback, gently used, new, whatever. I don't have a strong preference. I usually don't buy hardbacks for myself but thats just because paperbacks are cheaper.

2) What do you usually read? A lot of YA, YA Dystopian, Chick Lit, some historical fiction, etc. I don't do a whole lot of SciFi and not a whole lot of fantasy.

3) Is there a genre you haven't read much of, but would like to try?

Not really

4) Favorite candy or treat? I don't really like milk chocolate, other than Reese's and milk duds. I'm really not picky, otherwise. I tend to go for fruity candies (runts, starbursts, etc.) over chocolate candy, but dark chocolate and white chocolate are OK as well.

5) Genres you are not a fan of? I don't hate anything, but I am really not that into Sci-Fi.

6) Allergies? Food items/treats/candy you hate? Again, not a huge fan of milk chocolate, but otherwise there's not much I hate. No allergies. Edit: Actually I do hate candy corn. And those peanut butter things that are in the orange and black wrappers. Otherwise not much I hate.

7) Anything else relevant you'd like to share with your elf? I believe my wish list is pretty up to date. But if you have questions, feel free to ask.

ewill7911 · September 2013

1) I mainly read on my kindle, but I love having books too, so any format of book is great! If its a paperback or hardcover, I do not mind used books - I usually get most of mine from garage sales.

2) Epic-Fantasy, young adult books, sci-fi and mystery (I read just about any genre but those are my usual picks)

4) I love three musketeers. They are my favorite. I like candy really and if it has chocolate, that is a bonus!
5) I think horror would be a genre I am not fond of, I tend to not enjoy horror movies because I think they do not have much of a story and I like a good story, so I judge books the same way.
