Here are my answers
1. What’s your favorite genre?
Hmm...is there a "drama" genre? I'd say I lean towards Romance more often than not, but I'm not overly particular as long as its good.

2. What books won’t you touch?
Horror, Murder Mysteries, True crimes, anything that involves extreme violence or crimes against children.

3. Did you read series books as a child/YA? If so, what was your favorite?
I loved ALL Judy Blume books. I also liked Anne of Green Gables Books, and the Mandie Mystery books. But my "favorite" book was The Secret Garden.

Since you are already at MY blog, I'll direct you to a couple of places I tend to "hang out" - Book Blogs and Here Be Reviews

5. Is there a favorite character that you identify with or would love to meet? Do tell!
Bella Swan. Just because as of right now I'm still a die hard Twilighter. Clare and Henry DeTamble from The Time Traveler's Wife...because I just LOVE them. :)

I really love the Dresden File books by Jim Butcher. I would love to meet Harry Dresden. Hr just sounds like a fun person to meet, plus he sounds hot.

Favorite genre: can't claim just one.

Won't touch: well, I'm disinclined to like bodice-rippers. though I have read a few tongue-in-cheek reomances that I found hilarious and delightful--but that was in college, and I don't remember who wrote them. Catherine Coulter? does that sound right?

Series I read as a kid: Nancy Drew, American Girls, a few nonfiction series from the library; as a teen, I was an huge fan of the trilogies of LJ Smith.

Favorite blog: I think I'd have to say The Literate Housewife. We have similar tastes in books, and I like how she thinks/writes about them.

Character I'd love to meet: Hermione Granger. I think.

Favorite Genre? Literary Fiction
Books I Won't Touch? Romance Series
Series Books as a Child? Loved the Baby Sitters' Club and Sweet Valley High
Favorite Book Blog? (Other than my own) is probably the Boston Bibliophile or The Reader's Quill (both on blogger)
Favorite Character? I don't know that they're my favorite, but I'd like to meet all of the cast of the asteroid in The Sparrow--four priests, an engineer, an astonomer, a computer programmer, and a doctor.
