Finally! My first tag! Thank you to my friend Ross over at The Royal Bookshelf! and I tag my other good friend Sarah at YA bookaholic Go check both of these out, they are incredible as is their blogs!
Question 1: E-Book or Physical book? Nothing can top a physical book in your hands! I am reading more ebooks now thanks to Netgalley and they are alright and I guess convenient but I went through a phase where I hated audiobooks. Got a kindle when they first came our and I never used it. Physical all the way! Question 2: Hardback or paperback? I have a sweet spot in my heart for hardcovers. They are beautiful and sturdy and look good on my shelf and I like how they feel but here in Ireland, they are hard to come by. Paperbacks are convenient for carrying around - and I always have a book with me! Then again, I did carry around Tales from the Shadowhunters Acadamy in Hardcover by Cassandra Clare, to college when I was reading it! Question 3: Online or in store shopping? I love Bookdepository. I use it a lot but I have to go with shopping in store. The atmosphere, the peace, it brings me joy to go to a bookstore, Question 4: Trilogies or series? Most of my favourite books are from series! Harry Potter, The Mortal Instruments and so many more but triliogies are amazing also. I think that if I truly fall in love with the world and the characters like I have with the series mentioned then I will not want to part with them and appreciate more books. Given that the author is able to do a good and creative job and not drag out and ruin the original story. Question 5: Heroes or Villains? You got to love a good villain. There is a typical stereotype that travels around of the villain with the tragic backstory and sometimes it can be overused and cliche but no one does it better than Cassndra Clare with Sebastian Morganstern. That boy I got issues. Question 6: A book you want everyone to read? History is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera, definitely! Question 7: Recommed an underrated book? Hmmm. This is a tough question. I dont know why, but Othello came to my mind. Which I don't know if it's underrated or not. I don't have a proper answer. Question 8: The last book you finished? I finished The Lost Hero - Rick Riordan (the audiobook) two days ago. I am thirteen minutes away from finishing Scarlet - Marissa Meyer (audiobook) too! Question 9: The last book you bought? I bought A Darker Shade Of Magic yesterday and I am so excited about it. I cant wait to jump into this world Question 10: Weirdest thing you have used as a bookmark? I often use my student card or my rail tickets as my bookmarks but they aren't very strange, pens, my phone, probably my dogs ear at some point! Question 11: Used books, yes or no? Yes! Depending on the condition they are in. I always buy used books. Question 12: Top 3 genres? Fantasy, contemporary, historical fiction! Question 13: Borrow or buy? Buy, buy, buy. There is so much pressure and responsibility that comes along with borrowing books from people!! Question 14: Characters or plot? Character. I love character driven books and I am a firm believer that well written character driven books, the plot will fall into place to a certain extent. Too optimistic?? Maybe? Question 15: Long or short books? As much as long books intimidate me, I have to choose long books. If I love a book so much, then I will not want it to end for a very long time. Short books are nice though, to give yourself a break when you need it. Question 16: Long or short chapters? Short, by far. I feel as though I am powering through a book so much faster, long chapters take me so long to read!! Question 17: The first three books you think of? Scarlet - Marissa Meyer, A Court of Mist and Fury - Sarah J Maas, Lady Midnight - Cassandra Clare. Question 18: Books that make you laugh or cry? I love a book that makes me laugh and cry. I have to say though, I love a book that gives me a good cry. Question 19: Our worlds or fictional worlds? Fictional worlds. I love being able to escape our world and jump straight into a ficitional world! Question 20: Audiobooks yes or no? Yes, I love audiobooks! Right now, I am swimming in them. I have 4 at the moment that I have to read. I use both audible and borrow box! The latter is free where you get free audiobooks. Like a library, you have them for 3 weeks. (For Ireland only) Question 21: Do you ever judge a book by its cover? Doesn't everyone? I am such a hypocrite when it comes to this. I always tell my friends not to do this if they don't kike a cover of my favourite book that I want them to read but I do not practice what I preach. Question 22: Book to movie or book to TV adaptations? This is a tough one, I'm going to say 50/50. They have to be done really well. Both have potential and it depends on how long the book can be cut down or dragged out and the pacing they are going at. Question 23: A movie or TV adaptation you preferred to the book? This is a another tough question!!! I don't know of movies or TV shows I enjoyed MORE but I can think of a few that were on par (or thereabouts) The Harry Potter movies were fantastic. (Slightly love the books more though), The Hunger games movies were really good. I really liked the Maze runner movies and also, A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. Question 24: Series or standalones? I have to say series. I love staying in the one world for as long as I can, if I love the world enough. People say Cassandra Clare is milking too many books out of the one world and she should stop, I say that I can't get enough and keep them rolling!! Thanks for reading guys! Don't forget to leave a comment and comment your answers to some of these questions!! I would love to hear your answers. Have a great day. Much love x
