Edited to Add: There are a few questions I wanted to say "Both" (in asterisk) but I choose one (just for fun!) after much consideration!
A BIG Thank You to Keri from Books with Swords for passing on the Kreativ Award to me. The rules are that I must list seven favorite things and nominate seven bloggers for the award.
Here goes:
1. Books (of course!)
2. A necklace/bracelet my best friend gave me
3. Chocolates
4. Fruits
5. Tulips
6. Bookmarks
7. Hard Rock T-shirts (I'm collecting them!)
Finally, I would like to pass this award on to some of the book blogs I have discovered recently: Bermudaonion's Weblog, Giving...Reading - A Chance and Half Deserted Streets.
An easy one for me, this. To most, 'yes'.
Books I Like
Impossible for me to choose!
God! mostly my answers are BOTH :) just like yours :)
THANK you for the award! I will be writing a post on that !
I mostly answered mine with "both". Because honestly I like both *grin*...But I can see why you prefer stand-alones books *grin* :)
Happy BTTs! Have a good Thursday
I'm impressed with your self-control in keeping your answers short.
This has been a great challenge for getting to know other book bloggers better. Happy BTT!
Melody you are far more disciplined than me, I couldn't decide between a lot of them! My answers are quite similar though! Happy BTT!
I love one word answers!
Booking through preferences
Well done for just picking one answer. I rambled a bit and mostly said both or it depends...!
You choose one for fun? It would have been torture for me to choose just one :)
congrats on the award, love the 7 things.
I would have a hard time choosing just one answer as well! Some I do know for sure--definitely owned and definitely paperback. Congrats on the award--tuplips are such a beautiful flower.
Congrats on your award!!!
Yay yay yay! Thank you! And congrats on YOUR award :)
I agree with pretty much all of your survey answers, by the way :)
Congrats on the award, and thanks for sharing a little more about yourself with us! This is a nice BTT.
Congratulations on your award! It was difficult for me to choose. Happy BTT!
I needed the quick answers today. Low om coffee. Happy BTT!
I agree, some were very tough to pick!
I choose almost the same answers as you! I am not into stream-of-consciousness. It's nice for the great language sometimes, but I need a plot.
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...
This one is not as easy as it seems. I find it difficult to capture my reading behavior in multiple choices!
I 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.
I'd have to say both to some of those...no way I can pick!
Also, congrats on your award, Mel :D
Hello, everyone! Thank you for your comments. I really appreciate them all. Please accept my apologies for replying this one to all.
This week's meme is fun; I think it's a challenge answering some of the questions considering they are simple questions. :P
You're very welcome, Melody! Aside from your book reviews, I look forward to Wordless Wednesday each week. :)
Except for autobiographies, I would have said exactly the same thing...even on the ones where you wanted to answer both!
I answered them at Julia's blog. :D
Keri - Thank you again! :)
Jill - Glad we share the same thoughts!
Alice - I read your answers, Alice. :) It sure is hard to choose only one, isn't it? :P
I don't think I could have stood up to challenge of answering all of those like you did, Melody. Some I just don't think I could ever choose.
Congrats on the award, Melody!
And, I think I just learned something new about you... hard rock t-shirts? :)
For some reason bloglines isn't picking up your blog posts for me so I'm a bit behind reading your blog. I hate it when bloglines acts up like that. Anyway, hoping you are spending a great time with your family this weekend.
It's hard to choose without putting in caveats, isn't it? I had trouble answering some of them!
this was such a fun BTT :O)
and congrats on your award, it is well deserved!

Kim - Exactly!
Naida - Thank you! :)
