1. How did you come across your favorite author(s)? Recommended by a friend? Stumbled across at a bookstore? A book given to you as a gift?
By accident at the library. Most of the books I borrow at the library are found on the shelves semi-randomly.
2. Was it love at first sight? Or did the love affair evolve over a long acquaintance?
I have to really like the first book I read by that author. And like the subsequent books as well. If I only like some of the books, I would only say that those are my favorite books but that the author isn't necessarily my favorite author.
Onesome: Kidney--beans? Lima Beans? Pinto beans? Which legumes do you like to cook with? Hmmm... A hot pot of chili sounds good this week!
I like lima beans. Although saying that is probably blasphemous since I live in lentil country.
Twosome: Stones?-- Monoliths? Pebbles? Do you use any of these in decorating? Heck, we'll even count marbles in vases!
No. Although I do pick up an odd rock or two if I'm out hiking somewhere interesting.
Threesome: and herbal remedies-- Hey, there's a good one: do you have any herbal remedies for us to try? Anything? I'm betting this bunch will have a trick or two to work with!
Not really. I'm of the opinion that if there's anything wrong, go see a medical doctor.
I normally borrow books from library if it "new authors to me" when I discover it on shelf. One good thing about that is that when it books that I don't like, I don't feel like I have wasted my money on it :)
But I base my buying from word to mouth or recommendation :)
Happy BTTs - I hope you have a good days/weekend ahead!
