Follow My Hop Recap 2.11.11

Today I'm participating in two memes — the Book Bloggers Hop, hosted by Jennifer at Crazy for Books & Follow My Book Blog Friday, hosted at Parajunkee's View. I am also putting up my weekly recap... get it? "Follow My Hop Recap?"
If you're a new follower, please leave me a link to your blog in the comments below so that I can return the hello!
This week's question from the Hop:
"Tell us about one of your posts from this week and give us a link so we can read it (review or otherwise)!

This week I started a feature called "Back to the Basics" where I answer any questions blogger may have (that I am able to answer). This week we talked about the Follow Me Friday and the Blog Hop and how to appropriately comment while making it easier for people to find your blog and return the blog and comment love. Read the post to find out more.
This week's question from Follow Me Friday:

What is your favorite romance hero-type? Stereotype wise. Do you like the strong silent type or the brute macho man?


I'm definitely drawn to the witty, intelligent, strong, and silent type rather than the brute macho man. Fictional men like Clark Kent and Mr. Darcy are intoxicating to me. Men who can be stubborn and infuriating, but caring and even bookish (gasp!) totally win me over. But at the same time I am a complete sucker for the hilarious side kick (Ron Weasley all the way). I guess I'm multi-faceted?
In real life, my fiance D is definitely not infuriating (good thing) and, of the two of us, I'm definitely the stubborn one. D definitely fits the funny, care-free character who provides endless conversation and partakes in witty banter when I feel the need. He also feeds me... which is a big deal (yes, I'm marrying a very good cook).
