Musing Mondays (Aug.22)
Do you prefer character-driven stories, or plot-driven stories?
I prefer character-driven stories. If the characters aren’t realistic, or if I can’t relate to them in any way, I will probably rate the book lower than if I was drawn to the characters in some way.
Plot-driven stories are okay, but the book has to have characters that appeal, too, or else it just won’t move me the same way.

I prefer both. Check out my answer for this week’s musing at Escape Between The Pages.
Both, but if I had to choose one: http://peskypiksipesternomi.blogspot.com/2011/08/characters-or-plot.html

This is a great question, I never really thought about until now.
Here’s my answer

Characters, if only because I can’t stand a book without them! http://wp.me/p1t7Ho-nt
Doesn’t really matter as long as the book is a good read.
My answer is posted.

Oops wrong spot. LOL
I definitely prefer character-driven stories. They can elevate a so-so plot, but if the characters aren’t good, no plot in the world can save a story in my opinion.
Here’s my Tuesday Teaser – from Grave Witch – I’ve been meaning to read the second one, so I figured I’d better get going on the first.

Well gee, I just went ahead and answered. Mom always said I never followed directions very well.
Mine’s up … just a bit late this week.
