Yay! I'm first. Excellent list.
My all time favorite book is Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen.
I mostly read mysteries and drama or plays.
Right now the only time I have to read is while I'm waiting to pick my daughter up from school, which is only about 20mins worth, but how relaxing to get into a good book!
I usually for my T13, have a theme in mind first.
Have a great Thursday and Happy TT!

LOL! To your bonus question--see my TT. :)
1. Harry Dresden, Susan Sto Helit, Lymond, ARGH. too many to name.
2. See above.
3. It all depends on my mood, but even then, I couldn't pick just one.
4. I showed you that last week. :)
5. Ask how they liked it.
6. No clue. I don't have a special affinity for any particular time period.
7. Romance and fantasy.
8. Research--I always go read the Amazon reviews before writing my own.
9. Recommendation. My TBR pile and my must-buy lists are too big to take chances.
10. LOL--I'll take those last two.
11. The events in Narcissus in Chains would all be a dream. LOL
12. A spy/assassin. Definitely. I always wanted to be one.
13. I think for me, it's all about the writing. If it's written well, I connect with the characters, and the plot logically flows from the characters, as does the dialogue and humor or emotion.
those are fantastic questions but sad to say, I am not into ready books...tsk tsk tsk!Happy TT!
oops! wrong link! my TT is here:

I have so many favourites it's not even funny. I love Mary Balough's Slightly series. I could read all these books over and over.
If I saw someone reading my book? I'd freak out. I'd probably go over an ask them what they thought of it, but I don't know if I'd tell them I wrote it.
I love to read in the bathtub. It's my ME time. :)

Hi Christine - Thanks for stopping by :) I may have to try Mary Balough's series books sometime. I'm big fan of series book :) And I think it always a good ideas that everyone get a "ME" time. I suggested it to friend all the time :)
Happy T13! Again thanks for stopping by. Have a good day!
Aack! I can't even BEGIN to answer all of this before the kids rip each other's heads off...
BUT when I see someone reading a book I read and loved, I'll stop to ask them how they're doing with it and if they like it as much as I did. Especially if I have a funny story, like the woman at dance who was reading a JA Konrath book; I met him last summer. Always fun to connect with other readers.
Happy TT! Thanks for visiting West of Mars.
I'll answer some: :)
1. Holden Caulfied of Catcher in the Rye, Little Prince of Little Prince, the leading men in Haruki Murakami's books.
2. Alice in Wonderland comes to mind right now. Just to ask how exciting really are her adventures.
3. All Haruki Murakami books.
4. On the sofa.
5. Smile and ask how's the reading so far.
6. 1500, 1600 those times, I dunno why.
7. Chicklit, literary fiction, mystery
8. Research outline/plot. I need to know where to start and how it will flow.
9. I tend to go and see books reviewed by credible writers but I buy based on my browsing. :)
10. Howard Roark (The Fountainhead) meets Veronika (Veronika Decides to Die).
11. The Wind-up Bird Chronicle of H. Murakami, a happy reunion for Toru and Kumiko.

6. I'd travel back to 1993, when I lived in Japan :)

10. Professor Dumbledore meets Gandalf...that would be interesting!
11. HA, can I answer this after the last Harry Potter book comes out?
12. I'd like to be a photographer who happens to also be a vampire

Bonus Question: the list!
GREAT list of questions!! Hmmm....to answer a few though:
My favorite book of all time is To Kill a Mockingbird.
I'd love to meet Joe Morelli from the Stephanie Plum books because he's so sexy on paper, he'd have to be better in real life!
I love to read Blogger reviews of books...that is the biggest help for buying books!!
Happy TT!
My favourite book of all times is Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. The movies are good too, but nothing beats the books.
I love to read in nature on a quiet place and... on the toilet!
I never disturb anyone reading a book, because I hate it if someone disturbs me when I'm reading!
I'd like to travel back to a lot of times. I love history, so seeing it for real would be great!
I find books in all kinds of ways: internet (TT gave me a lot of new writers!), recommendations from people I know have a similar taste, etc.
If an author was going to make me into a character for a book, I'd love to be the witch I am. :-)
When writing draft for your Thursday Thirteen, the theme comes first.
