Hello my lovelies! I've never participated in a book tag but I came across this one when I took my nosiness to the internet. This particular challenge comes from what I found on the blog, Tomes with Tea. I encourage you to do this too!

Ok, so here are the questions:

1. eBook or physical books?
I've always been interested in collecting hard copies of anything I plan to or have read. But with the popularity of eBooks on the rise, I find that I usually purchase a copy before deciding on which book to add to my physical book shelves.

2. Paperback or hardcover?
I used to prefer hardcovers, simply because I thought that they would last longer. However, now I'm not such a stickler because not only are paperbacks lighter, they're also smaller so I can fit more onto my shelves ;)

3. Online or in-store book shopping?
I buy most of my books online, but nothing beats wandering through a bookstore and browsing and touching the options.

4. Trilogies or series?
I love series! The more books the merrier, especially when the series is about the same characters. I find it allows for further character development, for the plot to be well-rounded, and for the story to reach a satisfying conclusion.

5. Heroes or villains?
Is it bad that I love both? 🙈 Even my heroes have to have a good dose of assholeism to make me happy.

6. A book you want everyone to read?
Anything from Sister Souljah. If you want some realism, you'll enjoy her books.

7. Recommend an underrated book?
Although Outlander by Diana Gabaldon is now a successful TV show, when I first started the series, NO ONE I knew had ever read it. Even now, many people who love the show still haven't read the series. Go figure!

8. The last book you finished?
This changes every day as I tend to read a book a day. The last one was A Cowboy For Christmas by Celia Aaron.

9. The last book you bought?
I actually bought several in one shot. One of them was Gun Shy by Lili St. Germain. You can check out the others when I get my book haul section up and running.

2016 on Goodreads by Various
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read a lot of books in 2016. I think I read more that year than any other. To try to sum it up would be almost impossible. Not completely impossible, but the probability of me doing that is next to nil. It's not only laziness that deters me from this attempt. It's the fact that I read over 600 books!! Who is willing to weed through that list with me? For me? No one??? Exactly. If you don't wanna, why would I?

I will say that it was a great year in books. That from what I've seen in peeks (and through my stealthy stalking) 2017 is looking to be a promising year as well. I'm looking forward to Preppy 2 and 3 from TM Frazier. I'm looking to finish the Bellator Saga from Cecilia London. I want to get the rest of the books that Pepper Winters has promised. I can't wait to read from new authors. Those reads are my fave! :D

I think that I'm going to keep a running tally of favorites for 2017 so I don't run into this problem again for 2017 on Goodreads. Maybe then I too will have an interesting graphic or two to display my love and appreciation. For those I've disappointed, don't be too upset. I bought over 600 books (and many paperbacks on top of that because I had to add my faves to my bookshelves). So that's money in people's pockets. I'm sure they love that more than any platitudes I could possibly share ;)

Until next year! xoxo
