▪️SF. No question
▪️Anywhere, anywhen
▪️Cola
▪️Science!
▪️Meh. I want a plot. Just give me some plot.
▪️Neither.
▪️Urban fantasy, when not a setting for romance. Dystopia, when done right (no clichés, please)
▪️Either (no clichés, please)
▪️Yes, please.
▪️ Don't care
▪️ Anything and everything is called YA these days. What counts is that the authors don't take their audience for dim witted fools. Most do.

▪️Meh. Of the two, fantasy.
▪️Paper cover. Same content, less space, lesser cost.
▪️BOOKSHOP. They are all mine!
▪️Of the two, HP. But meh.
▪️One of these two was well written and has influenced the entire planet. Perhaps not The Notebook. Now, were the choice *a* notebook, then that.
▪️I'd prefer a physical book. I read ebooks.
▪️New to me littens, not including the creator of this quiz: @dalma_st_paul @neelranawat

#thisorthat? @rheareads

dalma_st_paul Fantasy for most days, thriller for hard days (I like vent my aggression out through reading). Hard covers (they are preeeetty;). Bookshop (want to own one, one day). HP. R&J (sicker for the Bard). Depends on the genre (classics I think mostly printed YA mostly ebook, poetry 50/50). 6y
dalma_st_paul @tournevis 🙏 for the questions. What a great way to connect! 6y

Yeah, I said I would be MIA. I'm waiting for my bus and there is no way I could resist based on the first two questions!
1. Pirates (I think that's a given)
2. Thor. ALWAYS THOR
3. Ramen. I dislike rice. I know.
4. I have tried to be multilingual with the following: French, Latin, German, Anglo-Saxon, Irish. None have stuck long beyond the time I studied them
5. both

CrowCAH I know me too! Usually I don‘t do the daily “question” posts, but I‘m gona have to since PIRATES are on it!!! ☠️⚓️⚔️ 7y
mcipher I so with you on the ramen. Not a ride girl. Also Thor over Loki all the way. Plus he was super hot in the movie. 😉 7y
PirateJenny @mcipher Thor is always super hot! 😊 7y

1. Ice cream all the way. I've never been a big fro-yo fan.
2. Lime! I love lime anything! Although a lemon tart or lemon pound cake is yummy.
3. I love hot wings! I also love good fried chicken. Drums are always what I go for. I want both now. So hungry...
4. Sandwich with a small Caeser salad.
5. Salty buttery popcorn at the theater, and sweet kettle corn at the fair.
6. If it is in good shape, then either.
Now I want all of these foods!

1. Summer!
2. Mostly fiction but will read both
3. Two book clubs
4. Both

SilversReviews Two book clubs...Is it difficult to keep up? I was in four at one time and am down to ONE. This book club is not a traditional book club. We read what we want and then tell the other members what we have read for the month. No stress. Thanks for playing. 7y
Susanita @SilversReviews It‘s not hard to keep up with them. They meet different nights with different purposes, and they‘re both pretty informal. We also usually know the books a few months in advance so we can read ahead. 7y
SilversReviews @Susanita GREAT....sounds perfect. 7y

2 both
3 no to book clubs
4 both only because I can't possibly buy every book I want to read, so I borrow ebooks or get them really cheap

What fun, @SilversReviews !

1. Winter - I can‘t stand the heat #sorrynotsorry .
2. Both fiction and nonfiction
3. I host two Book clubs at my library - they are both so much fun, I‘ve even had the assistant director and the director of my library system peek their heads in to see why we were laughing so much!
4. I do both, but really, really, really prefer print

SilversReviews LOL on your answer to WINTER.....it‘s ok if you hate the heat. Your book clubs sound so fun. Thanks for playing. This was my first attempt at it, and I think folks are enjoying the questions. Thanks for the comment about it being fun. (edited) 7y

Librarybelle @Blaire Thank you! My car registered 84 at one point yesterday afternoon. Give me cold air, so I can bundle up in layers 🙂 7y
SilversReviews @TK-421 :) I LOVE SUMMER!! It‘s so wonderful we are all different yet the same. Thanks for commenting. 7y

Librarybelle @SilversReviews Lol! I have been known to wear hoodies with the hood up indoors in winter. 7y
danibolahood @TK421 @Librarybelle @blaire You guys!!! I have so much winter here I can send you! It's refusing to leave. I will even PAY you to take it away! 7y
SilversReviews @danibolahood @TK421 @Librarybelle @Blaire Me too on having winter to share....we had enough snow and cold weather to last a life time. It is 80 today and going to snow next week. CRAZY!! 7y
SilversReviews @Librarybelle Oh....I do that too. I even wear a hat to bed in the winter. 7y
MicheleinPhilly Add me to the “it was too hot yesterday” club. I enjoy 75 and below. It‘s already 71 here. I‘m not looking forward to this afternoon. 7y
Librarybelle @danibolahood Love it! If only we could swap temperatures... 7y
Librarybelle @MicheleinPhilly I agree about 75 and below. Temps in the 80s in PA in April is just too much! 7y
MicheleinPhilly Well tomorrow it will be back to the 40s and I‘m sure I will be complaining about that too. ☺️ 7y
Lovesbooks87 I don't like the heat either! 7y

1. Fall but okay to really answer I‘ll say summer.
2. Well I love both equally and couldn‘t give either up.
3. I‘m giving a book club a try again. So far, my review is mixed.
4. Both but probably more digital overall, especially if I count audio in the digital numbers.

1. Of the two, I would say summer, but I prefer spring.
2. Both. More nonfiction usually.
3. Not in a book club.
4. Both. Usually depends on the situation/place. I love audio, too.

Used books

Library! Not that I've managed to get there since winter returned 😭

Exercise! Though again, it's been hard since the cold swept back in. I do most of mine outside.

Watch a play

Road trip, unless I get to take my sea cruise on an awesome tall ship. I always did want to sail the high seas, and never you mind my deep water phobia.

BiblioLitten Awesome tall ship sounds cool. I'd totally go for that 🙋 7y

📙New or used doesn't matter to me 😊
📚 I prefer to pick up books that will stay on my shelves for years before reading them. The library doesn't accomodate that
🛋 I'm so lazy 😂
📺 I do enjoy reading them, but a play is meant to be seen
🚃 Ok so I have this crazy fear of hitting very large sea creatures in boats, sinking, being picked up by evil dolphins and then drowning slowly so....yeah

#thisandthat @BiblioLitten

Kaye I think the sharks would be more of a worry than an evil dolphin 🐬Have you seen Flipper ? He was a Good a Guy Dolphin. 7y
BiblioLitten ❤ your answers. Thanks for playing 😊 7y
FantasyChick I don't know what is is about them @Kaye but give me a shark over a dolphin any day. They terrify me lol 7y
Kaye We all have our fears. I wouldn‘t ride on an airplane if I won a free trip to anyplace on earth. I‘d take my chances with dolphins and sharks first. 7y
Jabberwocky I feel you so much about books that need to sit in the shelves for a while before the time is right. My partner thinks I‘m crazy!! 7y

MicheleinPhilly 😔 Muhammed Ali, Jr. was detained and questioned for 2 hours after returning from Jamaica. He was born in Philadelphia. His mother was also detained but was released after she showed the agents a picture of her and her late husband. I'm so ashamed of my country. 8y
Soubhiville It's scary. I'm going overseas in April and a little afraid of our return trip... My husband and I both have very unusual names, and we live in Texas. Need I say more... 8y
shawnmooney @joanne1 @saresmoore @Suet624 @Hooked_on_books @MicheleinPhilly @Soubhiville It is scary. The sad truth is that the ethos of the American border agents has long tended towards the fascistic. I love and miss Obama so much, but he failed us all in not tackling that problem more forthrightly. The NPR program 'On The Media' has at least one incredibly chilling documentary on the topic. I myself will not enter America while Trump's in charge. :( 8y
Suet624 @shawnmooney Completely understandable that people would not come to our country while he is in office. To think it's only been a month. The havoc, hatred and fear he's created and inflamed is unprecedented. 8y
MicheleinPhilly Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to LEAVE while he's in charge. My wife is a green card holder from Sweden but I don't trust ANY of these MOFOs. So I think we'll be seeing a lot of the good 'ol US of A in the next 4 years. 8y
