Question of the Week: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?
My first thought was Romance (it's fine as an element of a story, but holds no interest to me as a story itself), but I can't say I avoid it at all costs. After all, if my wife really insisted on it, I would give one a read, even if just to have something new to discuss over dinner. Having slept on it, I realized the obvious answer is a genre I originally missed because I do avoid it at all costs - Faith-Based Fiction. Personally, I have no interest in religious dogma, and no absolutely patience for being spoon-fed an author's spirituality. I am quite content to stay out of the shack, and to allow myself to be left behind. :)
Parajunkee also hosts a Social Hop for Facebook and Twitter, which I've taken part in the past two weeks. So, if you're one of those people who aren't on Blogger, or who just don't like Google Friend Connect, it's a great way to keep in touch and follow one another.
TGIF is another blog hop designed to provide much-appreciated exposure to the bloggers participating, and to expand their following. Hosted by GReads, it's an interesting way to recap the week, pose a question, and find some exposure with a different audience.

Question of the Week: Where do your books that you read come from? The bookstore? The library? Do you prefer to own a book, or have it on loan?
I tend to be a bit of a pack-rat and a hoarder when it comes to books - I definitely prefer to own them. I also tend to be a bit obsessive compulsive when I discover a really good book, and feel immediately compelled to add everything he or she has ever written to my library, just in case I want to read them again some day. As a result, libraries and borrowed books don't really work for me, especially when I get that middle-of-the-night urge to read a certain book.
