Fun little exercise this week!
Sometimes my preferences change. Here is mine
ReplyDeleteGreat answers! The name of my blog is "Well-Mannered Frivolity" - can you guess what my answer to number 1 was? It was hard to choose between some of the answers this week though...
ReplyDeleteI find it difficult to capture my reading behavior in multiple choices!
ReplyDeleteI prefer a plot-driven novel that slowly unfolds in fruity and lush prose, with multiple layers and allusion that indulge my mind long after I turn the last page like the lingering aftertaste of a good glass of wine.
Bluestocking, mine change too. Or, it could be that I just like everything.
