Ionic Well it is at least partially covalent (H-C). However, according to my OChem book it's 100% covalent but the C-Li bond is strongly polar. Apparently a bond is generally ionic if the electronegative difference between the two atoms is greater than 1.9 C =2.5 LI=1.0 2.5-1.0<1.9 therefore the bond is covalent.
