This weeks question: "What do you consider the most important in a story: the plot or the characters?"
My answer:
While both are important, I'm going to have to go with characters. If I'm reading a book with a really good plot, but I hate the characters, most likely I'm not going to like the book as a whole. For the most part, books are mostly about the characters. I love connecting with characters. I actually get a little weird about that and truly end up caring what happens to them in the books. Then I get all sad and depressed when the book either ends or the series does. I'm the same way about movies as well.

This weeks question:
Carmel is studying web design... What did you study in college, or are currently studying and did it lead to your current 9 to 5 or are you doing something totally different?
My answer:
Ughhhh I'm actually still in college. I'm in my 4th year. I've been to three different colleges now cause I couldn't make up my mind which one I liked. I've switched my major a few times, but I'm currently majoring in English lit and minoring in studio art. I want to own a bookstore some day, so we'll see if my degree actually becomes useful or not.

Hey there, new follower coming through from the hop!
ReplyDeleteCharacters are definitely the most important part of a story for me as well, and I completely understand about getting emotional when a series ends. It's an overwhelming feeling!
I just noticed in your sidebar that you have a cute little 'Team Ash' badge. I just finished the first book and I'm pretty sure I'm on board that team as well...at least I hope it doesn't change, haha. I should be starting the sequel tonight.

You're brave to want to open your own bookstore in this world where p-books (paper) are in danger of being rubbed out by e-books. I've been working in the bookworld for over a decade. Mostly as a bookseller but I took a detour to work for a small publisher for a year. Let me know if you ever want to chat about the state of the book & publishing & bookstores.
ReplyDeleteI'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.

Hi! I found you through Follow my Book Blog Friday and am now a follower. I was an English major in college, too, and know how much reading that requires. I hope you enjoy the holiday break!

Hello my dear,
ReplyDeleteI think that characters are very important. I love seeing what happen to them and I love to swoon over a few fictional boyfriends more then I should. ;)
I recently finished a Biological Degree. Now I am working on a degree in History, Humanities, and Religious studies. I think I might never stop, Yes, the Mad Scientist thinks that she will be a lifer student. LOL!
I'm also the creater of Morbid Romantica Challenge 2011 which I'm trying to get off the ground. It should be a very fun challenge. AND it wont seem like homework. *smirk*
Today was the start of a Hardcover giveaway for Beautiful Creatures and Beautiful Darkness @ Ridley's Giveaway
