Feature and Follow Friday
Q: What is your preferred reading format? Hardcover, eBooks, paperback etc?My answer: Definitely a physical book. I haven't done the e-book thing yet. I prefer trade paperbacks as I love the feel of good quality paper. Hardbacks are nice on the shelf but I find those silly hard corners annoy me.
Book Blogger Hop
I just realized something really funny. The question we're answering for this week is MY question which I submitted ages ago (when I was still very much into the Friday hop thing). What goes around comes around! :)Q: So would you read a book just because of the hype?
My answer: OF COURSE! Where there is smoke there is fire. At the least is you get in on what the hype is all about -- which makes you less duh-sounding during lunchtime conversations (besides you don't have to read the whole thing, you can pretend to).
And, at the most, you get a really, really good read. I remember this happened with Harry Potter. The hype was just beginning in the book blogging community with the very first book (no movie to speak of at the time and the book blogging community was pretty small at the time). I picked a copy up in the bookstore and devoured it. I never posted about it. Well, today ... as they say ... the rest is history. I've read all the books and watched all the movies and even have a daughter who practically grew up on Harry Potter.
