    Probably Shakespeare and Co. in Paris...mostly because I really want to go to France!

    What is your favorite book format (Hardcover, trade, paperback, electronic...)?
    I really do love reading e-books. I tend to curl up in bizzare positions when reading and with a real book I always to have re-situate for each side of the page.

    What the best book you've read so far this year?
    Ooo..I've read lots of good ones (thanks to NBC) but I think my favorite has still been the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Series for this year.

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • Bookshops: Any and all of them. My sister and I specifically plan to visit bookshops when we travel. We went to 3 of them while we were in Seattle this weekend. We also bought 13 books  and had to try to get them all into our carry-ons on the way back. Our bags were very heavy. Heh. And yes, we could have bought those books anywhere, but it's just not the same. 

    Book formats: I love each for different reasons. Hardcovers are my favorite on my shelves, but they can be heavy. Sometimes trade paperbacks can be such a pleasant tactile experience and sometimes I just love the way the pages move and bend and flop. E-books can be so convenient when traveling. Regular paperbacks are probably my least favorite.

    Best Book I've read this year so far: Brain on Fire and More Than This

    If you could go to any bookstore in the world, which one would you visit? Powell's in Portland is high on my list.

    What the best book you've read so far this year? Dreams of Gods and Monsters

  • If you could go to any bookstore in the world, which one would you visit?  The Amazon shipping center.  There's literally a gazillion books and zero salespeople to bother me.  Also, no other customers.  :)

    What is your favorite book format (Hardcover, trade, paperback, electronic...)?  Depends.  I like my library books electronic, but other books it depends.  I need to have sets of things, so if I have one in a MMP they all have to be MMPs.

    What the best book you've read so far this year?  That's a tough one.  Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas and Winger by Andrew Smith are two books I've read this year that I've HAD to talk about to somebody.

  • If you could go to any bookstore in the world, which one would you visit? All of them. But especially one that is gorgeous and in a foreign country.

    What is your favorite book format (Hardcover, trade, paperback, electronic...)? Hmm. If I'm travelling I like to use my Kindle but I prefer to read a hardcover overall.

    What the best book you've read so far this year? Bed of Roses (Bride Quartet #2) by Nora Roberts, surprisingly. For some reason it just got to me and had me tearing up, which is a first for an NR book.
