Book Blog Follow Friday is hosted by ParaJunkee.com and Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Crazy for Books
The question is what did you study in College?
I studied Swedish as my major, and English as a minor subject. I also read history of religion as a short minor. Got my MA in Swedish 2 years ago. Later I studied and got teaching credentials, so, minor in education too. And now I am getting minor in library science. This outside my MA, lol, and I who don't like school.
This weeks question is: What do you consider the most important about a book: the plot or the characters?Tricky one, because a plot I do not care about, well wont read, but characters I hate then I will certainly not read. So in the end I will say characters.
If you are new to my blog then say hi :) if you have been here before then nice to see you again.

HI stopping by to wish you a Happy Holiday. I say both , such a hard choice this time around.
ReplyDeleteMy Follow Friday/Book Blogger Hop
I have to think again. You have got me confused now!
ReplyDeleteBLH
ReplyDeleteI know, I struggled, did not want to choose either really.
Mystica
What, oh now you made me confused, lol
So did you download a lot of Jane Austen books? I had a look but couldn't work it out. I have enough waiting to be read so I didn't persist.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Hi, hon - new follower stopping by on the blog hop. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteStopping by to say Hi! I agree that this was a difficult decision. In the end I choose plot, but went back and forth about twenty-seven times. By the end of the hop I might change my mind again… Stop by and say hi when you get a chance!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! Why did you decide to study Swedish? Do you want to be a librarian? My husband majored in English and was a librarian for many years before changing careers. He thinks I should go back to college and learn library science too. It does sound like something I'd love!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Judith
ReplyDeleteWell it didn't work since I am from Europe :(

Lol, yes I have sure changed my mind throughout the day
Diana
Well..it's my mothertongue ;) So I went deeper into my own language. And now it fits great with my new studies, so yay
I'm totally with plot. :) The most solid answer to this question but it's still on someone's preference. Anyway, read my answer in Clandestine Sanctuary.
ReplyDeleteI'm an new follower. Have a great weekend.

This might be the best Book Blogger Hop question I've seen to date.
ReplyDeleteSo what's the answer? Plot! Hop over to my blog and let me tell you how a good plot rescued bad characters from bad book oblivion.

I'm back in school doing Library Science. I have a masters in critical studies (film) also. I prefer characters over plot. But both are important. Happy Blog Hop.
ReplyDeleteHoward
ReplyDeleteTough question indeed, in the end I think I might choose one answer with one genre and another answer with another genre
Naida
So true, the George RR Martin fantasy books has an awesome plot but I hate all the characters and can't read the books
Shelley
I hope you get them, they look so good and I do love Austen books
Danielle

New follower! Your blog is really cute :)
ReplyDeleteThanks you all for hopping by :)
ReplyDeleteI love your site! I've become a follower, and really look forward to your future content.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, I agree about characters being important to enjoyment of a book. I find I get attached to characters, and continue reading in a series for that reason.
