Reader’s Questionnaire
Thank you for participating in the DBC reader questionnaire.  Basically, we want to know what, as a reader, makes you decide to “one click” for your Kindle, drive to a bookstore for your favorite paperback.
 
1. Do you have a set budget for your book purchases? Yes  If you do, how much?  Depends on our budget that week lol
2. Do you ever browse Amazon and buy impulsively? Rarely
3. How do you find your new books? Facebook parties and friend reccomendations. Do you search the category section or are you brought to Amazon by a specific promotion or advertisement? Sometimes author pages have an advertisement that takes me right to the book
4. How important to you, are covers? Paperbacks: important Ebooks: Not so much  Blurbs? Very important That first chapter sample? Only important if I’m on the fence about buying the book 
5. Please list in order, what you feel as a reader is the most important thing an author can have to make you want to buy a book. Great writing, good price 
6. Do you leave reviews? Sure do 
7. Do you think the market will end up permanently shelving paper and hardback books?  Not anytime soon, wouldn’t be a smart business decision. Too many people like paperbooks.
8. What is your favorite genres to read? Romance (surprise!) 
9.Which genre do you seem to purchase the most? Contemporary Romance but I love a good paranormal or historical too! 
10.  Lastly, please recommend your favorite books and or authors to our viewers. That’s a tuffie. My all-time favorite to read is Eloisa James (historical) but for a contemporary author I would be hard pressed to pick just one. I love many Harlequin girls. Including Jules Bennett, Lori Foster, Kathie DeNoskie and many
