Perfect!

Could you explain question #12? I'm having trouble with it. What do you mean by researching? Deciding to read it or not? Finding out more about it? Understanding elements in a book that weren't clear (like new vocabulary words)? I don't "research" books, really, so I'm not sure exactly what the question is asking for.

I took it to mean any site I use when deciding what I want to read, so hopefully that'll be ok. For the most part, I use GoodReads, but I also use some other sites to keep track of when something is coming out, or to look at the order of a book in a series without the extras (such as reviews) that GR has.

12 would mean where if anywhere do you go to look up a book and find out a bit about it. For example I go to amazon and search the book. I read the comments and research the author. Hope this helps.

Now I understand. Thank you both for the clarification :-)
