Probably better than 10. Hard to tell since some of them were re-reads of ones I really liked.<br /><br />2) What sub-genres were they?<br />___ Contemporary<br />___ Paranormal<br />___ Historical<br /><br />My favorite sub-genre is: Historical<br /><br />3) How many were were ebooks?

Two or three<br /><br />6) Where did you find out about authors you had never read before? -- None of your choices really apply. I "like" a couple of cheap/free pages on Facebook that post links for Nook books.<br /><br />7) How many of the romances you read in the last 3 months did you then recommend to other people? -- Not sure.<br /><br />8) Are you an author yourself?<br />___no<br /><br />9) On romance covers, which do you pick up most often: -- I don't judge a book by it's cover (HA!). No really, I don't necessarily choose because of the cover. I prefer more subdued covers (it's a little awkward, for me, to carry around a book with "heaving bosoms" at a high school).Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17202409993611484392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-11388060598337197622012-01-26T20:07:14.118-05:002012-01-26T20:07:14.118-05:001) How many romance novels have you read in the la...1) How many romance novels have you read in the last 3 months?<br />(who counts) --- Probably 25<br /><br />2) What sub-genres were they?<br />Contemporary and/or Historical <br /><br />My favorite sub-genre is:<br />Probably Family Sagas both Historical and Mordern <br />(which would technically be called women's fiction; I guess)<br /><br />3) How many were ebooks?<br />about half (12 to 15)<br /><br /><br />How many were print books? <br />About Half (12 to 15)<br /><br />Of how many did you get BOTH the ebook and the print book? ___<br />None.

I love to see a sample before I buy. <br /><br />Thanks for asking!<br /> DragonStar1974 (AT) aol.comStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02550939635943882301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-69487974111075166922012-01-26T17:07:45.660-05:002012-01-26T17:07:45.660-05:001) How many romance novels have you read in the la...1) How many romance novels have you read in the last 3 months? 4<br /><br />2) What sub-genres were they?<br />_X__ Contemporary<br />___ Paranormal<br />_X__ Romantic Suspense<br />__X_ Historical<br />___ Erotic Romance<br />___ Other (please specify)<br /><br />My favorite sub-genre is:historical<br /><br />3) How many were were ebooks? _4__<br />How many were print books? _0__<br />Of how many did you get BOTH the ebook and the print book? ___<br /><br />4) Where did you buy them?
