This week’s question:
All other things being equal–do you prefer used books? Or new books? (The physical speciman, that is, not the title.) Does your preference differentiate between a standard kind of used book, and a pristine, leather-bound copy?
My Answer:
Definitely new books.  I love the smell of opening a new book for the first time with the spine of the book not bent and turning a crisp page to the very end of the book.  And I will only purchase a used book if it is in good condition.

From Lori’s site:
It struck me recently how much time I spend on this computer every day, blogging, chatting or playing games on Facebook, emailing friends and relatives, making cards and calendars, etc. etc. etc.
We depend on each other for book reviews, giveaways, encouragement, friendship, but how well do we really know each other?
So that is what this meme is all about, getting to know each other.
1. Do you wear perfume, body spray, etc. If yes what are you favorite scents/brands?

     Tresor
2. How many pillows are on your bed?

3. If you could be any character in a fairy tail, who would you be?
     A princess with ladies in waiting lol

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
*Grab your current read
*Open to a random page
*Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
*Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

I was already running for my car.  I wanted in on this capture in the worst way.  I had never investigated a crime as daring and unspeakable as this one.

This week’s question:
In honor of the Canadian “Family Day” holiday, today, I’m curious… What was the last book (or, what was your favorite book) that dealt with family? What did you like / dislike about it?
My answer:
The first book that came to mind was Beachcombers by Nancy Thayer.  I read it this past year and it was the type of story where I got so involved with the characters, in this case 3 sisters, that I didn’t want to see the story end.  The sisters who are all facing trouble in their own lives have come home to the small island of Nantucket to face their past and begin their future.
And to all my Canadian blogging friends…Happy Family Day!

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of The Printed Page and is now on tour.

According to Marcia, “Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.”
This hasn’t happened in a while, no books this week, but then maybe it’s a good thing because I am so far behind.  But I will be visiting and seeing what everyone else received so that my tbr bucket list will grow.
