Book Blogger Hop and Follow Friday

This is the Book Blogger Hop, hosted at Crazy For Books.

This week's question is:

"Tell us about one of your posts from this week and give us a link so we can read it (review or otherwise)!"

Well, last Monday I posted a review of True Grit, comparing the book to the new movie. I love reading, but I'd like to also post about the occasional movie or other media, etc. What do you all think of that idea? Do you only read book blogs for the book recommendations?




This is Follow Friday, hosted by Parajunkee's View

This week's question is from Ruby's Reads:

What is your favorite romance hero-type? Stereotype wise. Do you like the strong silent type or the brute macho man?

This seems like an odd question to me, but I read very little romance. Do you mean favorite romance hero to read about, or favorite type to be attracted to?

When I do read romance, I care much more about whether he's the heroine's type. It's her relationship after all, and if she's a cipher, then I'm not interested in the story. In general, though, I'll always take option three: smart as a whip.
