I’ve always been a lover of all things spooky and scary. I made a Ouija board as a teenager (against my parents wishes) and scared the crap out of not only myself, but my friends as well. Once we even believed we contacted my deceased grandmother and a best friend’s father–which was very emotional for us both at the time.

Living in Australia, Halloween has never been a big tradition. As a teenager I went trick-or-treating three or four times and had mixed responses from people on the other side of the door. Some were happy to play along, while others didn’t appreciate Aussie’s copying American traditions. My best experiences with Halloween though, have been as an adult.

Not for the candy, not for the spooky stories, but for the awesomely sexy costumes!
In my short story in the Etopia Press Halloween Heat anthology, Emma has arrived at a costume party, dressed in an outfit her husband Tim had secretly organised.

Not only has Tim organised her outfit, but he’s  also planned a night of treats that she may not be able to handle.

So today I want you to leave a comment about your favourite costume. Mine was a dark angel costume. Black wings, black beaded corset, short skirt, fishnet stockings, knee-high boots *sigh* That was a damn good night.

I have been a long time fan of print books.  There is nothing like walking into a book store and seeing all of the wonderful colors and the smell of printed pages.  I could lose myself for hours in a book store and not even realize that I have spent that long in there.

With the cost of living and everything else on the rise, I have noticed that books have pretty much stayed the same in cost.  It is a luxury that few partake in and they are seriously missing out.  My children will spend hours just sitting in their rooms reading and it has been a cheap and fulfilling hobby for them.  Even when we are low on funds, we make trips to the library just so we can have our hobby still for free.

I have a home library full of print books.  There is nothing like showing guests our own personal library.  For book enthusiasts, it is exciting to have our own room — or just a shelf — full of something we love.

Recently though, I won a Kindle Touch in a contest and decided to take the plunge into E-Books.  They are easily accessible and cheaper than a print book most of the time.  You can have hundreds of books stored on the e-reader or even a computer hard drive without the clutter of print books. Some book bloggers even prefer having e-copies of books instead of print copies.

I am slowly trying to convert my way of thinking and embracing the e-reader.  I am still not completely converted to it, but it is a slow process.  I enjoy being able to just click and buy a book and have it right then. Instant gratification is a plus.  I also like being able to access the books earlier at times as well. Sometimes the books that we are waiting for release in e-copy weeks before the print book and helps with the having-to-have-it-now mentality.  Having an e-reader also helps in the mystery of what a reader is reading at the moment.  If I wanted to read an erotica while waiting to pick my daughter up from school, the other people wouldn’t have a clue. (Not that I would care)

Switching from print books to the e-reader world will be an ongoing process for me.  I am stuck in the age of old and can’t seem to completely switch over.  I see pro’s and con’s to both worlds and I am still figuring them out.

My question to you is what type of reader are you? Do you prefer print copies or are you on the e-reader bandwagon?  Are you somewhere in the middle like me?
