AAAAND SHE'S BACK.

[minviendha]

Yes, it's me again. Not much has happened. We moved, Karla's having sex with Gringoire, and I joined as Jaenelle. *cringe*

Anyway, internets back up. Currently typing at school, but we'll fix that. I need more werewolf fiction. *bitchwhine* And less asterdisks of doom.

But that's beside the point.

Will be catching up on commenting, hopefully soon!

And to celebrate my return, a meme!

Stoled from ofdreamsnbones.

Mass market. Cheaper, smaller, easier to carry. Plus, most fantasy comes that way.

Barnes & Noble or Borders?
Rarely been to Borders, so Barnes and Noble through lack of experience.

Bookmark or dog-ear?
Bookmark if it's mine. Dog-ear if it's a library book. *wince*

Amazon or brick and mortar?
Amazon!
