Every so often I interview readers and reviewers about the books they love to read and why. This time it’s Buda’s turn to be filleted and roasted on the grill. 🙂 He always has a lot to say, he’s never at a loss for words and his views, while funny, are strong and varied.
Currently Buda is away from his unpaid job as guest reviewer on the site but he did agree to this interview before he took off for who knows where. 🙂 Please help me to give Buda his comeuppance due by leaving your questions in the comments on this post.
The interview will be posted sometime towards mid to late September so we don’t have a lot of time.
Have you ever read a hot scene in a book and thought, “Wow, that looks totally fun!” If so, did you try it? And on the flip side, have you ever read a scene in a book and thought, “Wow, I don’t think that’s supposed to go there!” And if so, did you try it?
What kinds of books will you read no matter what? And are their any books you refuse to read (like, I totally will not read books about were-snails, because that’s just weird)?
And finally, how do you feel about poaching peoples’ stalkers? Not that you would ever do that, I’m sure.
Which character from which book does he think would be perfect for him? 😕
Can I ask a few? 🙂
1. When did he start reading M/M fiction, and does he remember what the first book was?
2. Is there a storyline/topic that he thinks is underutilized or untapped by authors? On the opposite side, what does he feel needs to be put to pasture topic wise?
3. Is he really a hockey fan, or is that just an avatar thing?
4. Is there a character from a book that he relates to, and if so, which one?
I’d like to know, do you have an all-time favourite book? (not necessarily m/m)
And if you need a comfort read, what would you turn to?
(and, since I’m nosy like one of the hot-tub boys and on a diet to booth: what about comfort food? Nothing as telling about a man as his favorite food…. 😉 )
Dallas, Dynasty or Knot’s Landing?
E-Book or Paper?
Boxers or Briefs? 😮
– Men reading romance novels, is like me willingly mowing the yard(just not gonna happen). Do you have a RL friend to talk to about these books?
-Do you have an author that is an autobuy for you?
-As a reviewer on this site do you find yourself critiquing a book first vs. reading for the pure joy of reading?
-How many books do you read a month of the m/m genre?
-Are you curious why so many women like/read m/m romances?
In m/m, do you have a favorite genre (contemporary, historical, etc)?
Do you prefer HEA OR HFN?
Do you have a huge TBR list, and if not, how do you keep up since there are so many m/m books being released?
Other than m/m what types of books and what authors do you read?
Do you read any fanfic?
Is a bestseller even now taking shape on your hard drive?
Describe your ideal protagonist(s). What type of characters really excite you?
What type of story might you pass on just from reading the blurb?
Would you rather by Indiana Jones or Han Solo?
If you were a character in one of the books you read, which character of what book?
Quick shot or Long shot?
If you were reincarnated who or what would you like to come back as
Apart from the most obvious one, which other two areas of your body are the most sensitive and responsive?
