Interview at Kate's Tales of Books and Bands

Katelyn over at Books and Bands started a new feature on her page -This or That. I was honored to be the first interviewee . I thought incase you missed it, I would post it here, so you, my readers could see what goes on in that little head of mine at times! Check out Kate's new weekly feature and get to know the people behind the blogs you read!!

Do you like reading e-books or physical copies of books?
I have an e-reader and I still have to force myself to read on it..tho it is great for WWF and Angry Birds! I love real books. I love the smell of them, the feel of them in my hand and the sound of the pages being turned. I would never trade them for a e-reader.
Do you prefer paperback or hardcover books?
I actually love Trade Paper backs. I can’t tell you why but I do, maybe because the size is close to a hardback but you don’t have the dust cover to worry about and they are not as heavy to carry around.
If you HAD to choose would you pick music or books?
You know this is a hard question for me and I will probably disappoint some people but I am going to have to go with music. I love reading, but I am happy reading the back of a cereal box so I know I could find something to read no matter what, but music, I can’t live without. Books take you to a place you never have been, as does music, but with music you can re-listen and be transported right back to that place over and over again. Unless you re-read a book you don’t get this. I have always said, there is a song for every moment of my life and I believe this strongly!
Would you rather read outside or inside?
Depends on the season..I am not a summer person..I don’t like to be hot so in the summer I like being under the AC..in the fall I love being outside.
Do you like your favorite books turned into movies or TV shows?
I am not a TV watcher so..I guess if I had to see the book I would pick a movie. This is tricky tho cause I have seen both good and bad when it comes to books to movies. It’s a hard call. I never go in expecting much.
Speaking of books turned into shows: Damon Salvatore or Stephen Salvatore?
I hate to admit this but I have never watched nor read Vampire Diaries..so I don’t know!
Do you prefer full albums or mixed CD’s?
I am addicted to making mix CD’s for every road trip I go on..so I guess mix CD’s. Plus a friend of mine who lives in Australia..we are always sending each other mixed CD’s of new music we are listening to. But ..if it comes to the Arctic Monkeys..I take the whole album!
You have to marry one or the other: Cricket Bell from Lola and the Boy Next Door or Alex Turner from The Arctic Monkeys?
YOU DID JUST NOT GO THERE!!!!! You know I love Cricket..but really? Do you really have to ask this question??? Alex David Turner hands down
Would you rather have a fictional boyfriend or fictional best friend?
Fictional Boyfriend…I have many already!
When marking the pages in your books do you use a bookmark or dog-ear your pages?
I am a horrid dog ear person. They are my books so it doesn’t matter, plus I dog ear pages I want to remember. I lose bookmarks. I also use the dust cover flaps if it’s a hard back.
Dessert time: cookies or cupcakes?
Cupcake frosting..I throw the cake part away…..
Breakfast time: muffins or bagels?
Diet coke
Death by Zombies or Demons?
How does a Demon kill you? I don’t really want to be eaten by a Zombie, they are messy..I will take Demons
Let’s talk Stephanie Meyer: The Host or Twilight?
Psht..Twilight..I tried to read the Host..I thought it was boring
When it comes to your favorite authors do you fan-girl/guy over them or do you quietly sit back and stalk them (non-creepily of course!)?
a bit of both I think..I usually fan girl over Stephanie Perkins and Jeri Smith Ready..the rest I just kinda stalk quietly
Do you prefer books that are laugh-out-loud funny or ones that put you into deep, intense thoughts?
I like funny books..I read to escape…I don’t want to have to think to hard. Tho I have read many great books that were on the intense side.
Would you rather have a decent main character with an AWESOME set of supporting characters or an AWESOME main character with a decent set of supporting characters?
I think both are important, but I can overlook a decent main character if the supporting characters keep my interest
Do you prefer your concerts in small clubs or large venues?
SMALL..We have a venue here in Tulsa called Cains Ballroom, I would much rather pay to see a band there. I hate arena’s and such, the concert seems impersonal. I rarely will go to one in a big venue..unless like last month Alex Turner forced it on me….
Which do you use more: Facebook or Twitter?
Twitter….I’m a twitter whore..I am rarely on Facebook
Do you like your books to be a part of a series or stand alone?
I miss stand alones, there are not enough of them. I have a short attention span and get bored easy. I have so many series that I haven’t finished it is rather embarrassing
Are you one to sing along or dance along?
I am the Queen of car dancing!
Would you want to be turned into a vampire or werewolf?
Mmmm..vampire…I have always found them to be so sexy..long before Edward Cullen there was LeStat!!
Let’s talk angels: Guardian Angels (the goody-two-shoes) or Fallen Angels (the bad boys)?
EASY! I love them BAD. Goody Two Shoes bore me
Would you rather listen to one band for all of eternity or listen to as many bands as possible but only for a week?
You mean after a week I could no longer listen to music again? My husband will tell you I pretty much listen to Arctic Monkeys constantly anyway so I could be happy with Humbug and Suck it and See for the rest of my life!
Where do you get your books from: the library or the bookstore?
I have to own them. If some one tells me I have X amount of days to read…I fail…
Do you like your shows from ABC Family or The CW?
Seriously I don’t watch TV
Do you prefer your swag to include bookmarks or buttons?
I love Bookmarks, even tho I don’t use them
Favorite genre: contemporary or paranormal?
A year ago I would never have believed I would say this but… contemporary
Do you like your music live or recorded?
Nothing better than standing in the audience and drinking in the music
Would you rather be stranded alone on an island with endless amounts of books or surrounded by people with only one book?
To be honest…I am not a friendly person..I’d take the endless amount of books…
