      I went gaga over Throne of Glass. I stayed up all night just to finish reading it. It probably took 12 hours to read the entire book when you include meals and toddler wrangling. :-P

      Yes, I do. I save up gift cards and apply them to my preorders as I go. It really helps keep the cost subsidized, which is better for my budget.

      I would read Twilight over Fifty Shades any day, though are other things I'd rather read.

      I just recently started using half ratings. Full worked well for me for a while, but eventually I began encountering books that I felt came in between two ratings.

      I enjoy ghost stories the most. They make for the most spooky atmospheres in books and I just love a spooky book.

      I prefer to read a series. I tend to get attached to characters or settings, so it's great to have more than one chance to read about them.

      If it's a book I've been anticipating and didn't have the chance to review beforehand, I'll buy it without having read it. If it's not something I enjoy after all, I know that there's someone who will like it.

      Usually Amazon. We don't have an indie book store where I live and our used book stores never have what I'm looking for.

      The plot description makes or breaks the interest I have in a book. A badly-written description = less interest from me.

      I usually see new books on other blogs and then add them to my Goodreads TBR shelf.

      I really enjoy multiple POV. Some of my favorite books are written that way & I think they're a lot of fun.
