Ha! I think I may have answered the opposite for almost every question. Of course, it some of them were a tough call.

Thanks for visiting my blog! You were stricter than me, I couldn't choose between the two for some of them! Happy BTT!

Holly said...

This is such a great BTT question. Short answers are good! I haven't done it, but I think mine would be the word "both" in nearly every category!

Great answers! The name of my blog is "Well-Mannered Frivolity" - can you guess what my answer to number 1 was? It was hard to choose between some of the answers this week though...

Biographies tend to not always be truthful, whereas autobiographies are straight from the source! I like series, but there are so many - its hard to get in on the beginning of them! Our answers are very similar!

I like "Long if good" - nothing worse than a long, badly-written book! I had a much harder time sticking with short answers on this one.

Fun quiz, but hard as I like all like all types of books.

Melody said...

This week's meme is sure challenging considering they're simple questions, isn't it? :P

JoAnn said...

Good job keeping your answers short and sweet! I had a hard time doing that - lol!

You have some really precise answers, I wish I could choose just one for all of them.
