I haven't been able to read as much as I used to ever since school started back up. I've missed reading for fun (as I like to call it), and just talking about books in general. So when I came across this book tag, you bet I just had to share...let's get to it.
E-Book or Physical Book?
Physical. E-books make it difficult to re-read, especially your favorite parts.
Paperback or Hardback?
To read? Paperback. To sit on my bookshelf and look pretty? Hardback.
Online or In-Store Book Shopping?
In-store. Monthly Half-Price Books rounds are the best.
Trilogies or Series?
Series.
Heroes or Villains?
Heroes, but I can appreciate a great villain.
A book you want everyone to read?
The Martian, by Andy Weir, because Mark Watney's humor is one of the best things ever. Also, space.
Recommend an underrated book?
Things We Know By Heart, by Jessi Kirby. "Perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen, this unique and emotional story about an unexpected bond between two strangers will leave no heart untouched."
The last book you finished?
For school or for fun? For school, Evelina, by Frances Burney (3/5 but would not pick up 'for fun') and for fun, Famous Last Words, by Katie Alender (also 3/5).
The Last Book You Bought?
Kill The Boy Band, by Goldy Moldavsky. "From thrilling new talent Goldy Moldavsky comes a pitch-black, hilarious take on fandom and the badass girls who have the power to make—or break—the people we call 'celebrities.' "
Weirdest Thing You've Used as a Bookmark?
A hairbrush.
Used Books: Yes or No?
Yes.
Top Three Favorite Genres?
Contemporary, Fantasy/Sci-fi, and Young Adult/New Adult Friction.
Borrow or Buy?
Buy.
Characters or Plot?
Characters. I'm not going to enjoy the story if I don't like the characters.
Long or Short Books?
Long, duh.
Long or Short Chapters?
Short. It feels like your reading a lot quicker. Plus, long chapters tend to drag.
Name The First Three Books You Think Of...
Red Rising (Pierce Brown), Slammed (Colleen Hoover), and Me Before You (Jojo Moyes).
Books That Makes You Laugh or Cry?
LAUGH.
Our World or Fictional Worlds?
Fictional, again duh.
Audiobooks: Yes or No?
No. Honestly, they weird me out, and I zone out while listening.
Do You Ever Judge a Book by its Cover?
Heck yeah I do. I own lots of pretty books that I hated.
Book to Movie or Book to TV Adaptations?
Movie.
A Movie or TV-Show You Preferred to its Book?
The Hunger Games Trilogy.
Series or Standalone's?
Having more of the characters I love is great, but when it comes down to it, a lot of the times the first book is usually the best. But, I guess, like Jesse, from jessethereader, says, it does depend on the genre. (See video below.)
