This week's question is:
"What do you consider the most important in a story: the plot or the characters?"
For me, plot is everything. There needs to be a compelling story that draws me in, captures my attention, and keeps me wanting more. Strong characters are a must, but they can't carry a story alone..

This week's question is:
Carmel is studying web design... What did you study in college, or are currently studying and did it lead to your current 9 to 5 or are you doing something totally different?
Much to nobody's surprise, I was an English Language & Literature major. My 9-to-5 job is related (P.R. and communications), but not what I expected to be doing when I graduated..

What's your favorite feature of online book blogging?
I'm going to go with just being exposed to so many new authors (and fellow readers). I've been introduced to books I never would have come across in the bookstore, and I've thoroughly enjoyed many of them.
As always, I urge you to hop around to some new blogs, tag along with some new friends, and find some great new reviews to follow. I always find something new to delight me!

ReplyDeleteMy Follow Friday/Book Blogger Hop
Hey Sally, thanks for swinging by. It's so hard to say whether character or plot is more important, because they really go hand in hand. It's hard to have one without the other.
ReplyDeleteThis might be the best Book Blogger Hop question I've seen to date.
ReplyDeleteSo what's the answer? Plot! Hop over to my blog and let me tell you how a good plot rescued bad characters from bad book oblivion.

I'm hopping by from the Book Blog Hop. I'm going to stay and have a look around, since this looks like a very interesting blog. For me, characters are more important than plot.
