Sharing Beyond Books #143 Comment Giveaway March 22, 2014

Hello again on Saturday night and Welcome to Sharing Beyond Books, SBB!
Thanks to everyone who commented last week.

There were five "possible" responses to using character names with one definite from Books of the Bible and a signer. There were six people who acknowledged using family names or the inclination to do so. Two responders have unique country traditions - Sri Lanka (Mystica) and saints (Miki).

The Winner from SBB #142 comments is: #6 Becky who can make a GC choice if international or book choice from the ARC/Review titles, Christmas titles or Love titles - all linked near the end of the post.  Please let me know your choice by completing the (new) WINNER FORM.

WEEK #143 (One Question.)

Q1. Elizabeth asks: Do you tend to read more fiction or non-fiction books??
A:  Clearly I read more fiction than non-fiction. I do read non-fiction but only occasionally. Most of my reading is for entertainment purposes.

Thanks to those who are sending in Questions. DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask. Input suggestions in this Suggested Question Form. At the end of each month I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a book choice or GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! We still have a supply of questions but from the same people so hopefully others will send more in -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify to use. 

Your turn to share:

Q1. Elizabeth asks: Do you tend to read more fiction or non-fiction books??

SBB Comment Winners can choose a selection from the Valentine and "Love" books, the Christmas Giveaway Books (this is the new link), or the June 2013 Newly Updated ARC/Review List.

SBB Rules:
a) Must be a follower.
b) Share a comment on either of the two questions above.
Open internationally and an international winner may get a smaller book or a $5.00 GC if I decide the mailing is too much.

I will pick a Comment winner from all comments made through Saturday March 29, 2014 at 5 PM  central.

  1. I read more fiction than non-fiction, but I do read a lot of non fiction too. I read at least two non-fiction a month and normally at least 3 to 5 fiction depending on if I'm not busy at work.

  2. currently more fiction - but it's as a distraction mostly from heavy life issues as I advocate for justice for elderly experiencing abuse and my own recent grief at the loss of my mother..

  4. i do read more fiction because i want to read for escape, non fictions tend to be too sad or dark in my opinion so i avoid them at teh moment ( i did read more of those at a time but it's definitively not what i prefer)

  19. Definitely more fiction. I live for fiction. To escape life. But I do read non-fictions from time to time.

  20. Like everyone else, I'm more of a fiction reader. I love reading YA fiction and adult horror (a weird combination, I know!) but occasionally I will read non-fiction. I have a particular interest in reading the autobiographies of certain celebrities, professional athletes and comedians and tying into the adult horror I love, I'm fascinated by the psyche of serial killers as well as cases that haven't been solved.
