This was originally a 15 question fantasy/scifi/horror meme as seen here, but I decided to make it a general book meme instead.
What was the last book you finished reading?
Live Right & Find Happiness by Dave Barry
What was the last book you did not finish reading?
Just the Sex, Ma'am by Tina Folsom. It was getting repetitive.
What was the last book you read that you liked but most people didn’t?
Not sure, to be honest.
What was the last book you read that you disliked?
Handling the Undead by John Ajvide Lindqvist
How long do your 1-sitting reading sessions usually last?
If I'm at home, a couple of hours.
What are you currently reading?
The Dark Side of the Road by Simon R Green
Do you like it so far?
I only just started it, but yes.
How long ago did you buy the book you are currently reading?
About 2 weeks ago via Amazon.
What was the last physical sf/f/h book you bought?
Jinn & Juice by Nicole Peeler
What is the genre/sub-genre you like to read the most?
My tastes are kind of all over the place. I like cozy mysteries, especially the ones featuring food and/or books. I like Regency era romances. Humorous fantasy/sci-fi.
What is the sf/f/h sub-genre you dislike the most and why?
anything with Zombies. Just don't like them.
What is your favorite electronic reading device?
I have a Kindle Keyboard and I like it much more than I thought I would. It was a gift from a former friend. I never thought I'd want an e-reader, but it IS great for traveling. The poor thing is developing problems now due to it's advanced (in computer terms) age & heavy use, so I'm debating upgrading to a Paperwhite.
What was the last sf/f/h eBook you bought?
Boundary Crossed by Melissa Olson (not my cousin, but I got a huge laugh at the coincidence)
Do you read books exclusively in 1 format (physical/electronic)?
Nope. I'm a reading slut- any format is fine!
Do you read eBooks exclusively on a single device?
Mostly yes. I have my Kindle as mentioned above, but my tablet also has the Kindle app. I use it more for games, but have read a book or two on it while waiting for the Kindle to recharge.

10 Random Interview Questions
The divine Gail Carriger posted a list of interview questions on her page, and I thought it would be fun to try to answer them myself. Here goes:
1. If someone were to write your biography, what would be the title and subtitle?
This Is NOT What I Planned: A Look At The Life Of A Broken Biracial Amazon
2. Have you ever made a literary pilgrimage?
Not exactly. I do tend to plan trips around bookstore visits. I looked up stores in Toronto & London before I went to both. And the only reason I want to go to New York City is to go to the Strand bookstore.
3. Describe the best breakfast of your life.
One of the best ones was the breakfast we had on the day we went to Stonehenge. I discovered the joy of British bacon, sausage, and ham, fried bread, and sauteed mushrooms for breakfast. All washed down with strong hot tea. I loved it!
4. What is your idea of absolute happiness?
Ideally, waking up in the arms of Tom Hiddleston or Michael Fassbender. More realistically, it would be sleeping in as late as I want, waking up to a breakfast of bacon and pastries, lounging around reading and sipping tea or iced coffee with my silly cat in my lap, napping, Chinese for lunch, going book shopping and then coming home to a steak dinner, before going back to bed and reading until I fall asleep.
5. What is your favorite indulgence, either wicked or benign?
Butter Almond Ice cream. Fleischkele (old family dish, basically a fried meat turnover), my 500 count lavender sheets.
6. Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin?
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme...
7. Who are your favorite characters in history? Have any of them influenced your writing?
This is as close to writing as I get anymore, so no real influence that I'm aware of. I'm blanking on the characters.
8. Aside from other writers, name some artists from whom you draw inspiration and talk a little about their work.
no answer for this.
9. Dogs, cats, budgies, or turtles?
All of the above!
10. In the For-All-Eternity category, what will be your final thought?
Well, damn....
