Rapid Fire Book Tag

A book tag that has been doing the rounds on YouTube is the Rapid Fire Book Tag which was created by Kate at GirlReading and it is one that I really enjoy watching so wanted to answer the questions myself. Without further ado, let's get started...


- E-Book or Physical Book? 

Physical Book. But I like E-Books because I tend to read them quicker than paperbacks. 


- Paperback or Hardback?


Paperback because they are just easier to read than a hardback. 


- Online or In-Store Book Shopping?


Both because you can get cheap books online and in store. 


- Trilogies or Series?


Trilogies because I am really terrible at completing series in general so series are just too long. 


- Heroes or Villains?


Heroes because I have never been a fan of villains they are evil for a reason.


- A book you want everyone to read?


The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and StoriesThe Opposite of Loneliness by Marina Keegan because it is a great book but not many people have read it. 














- Recommend an underrated book?

Radio SilenceRadio Silence by Alice Oseman. Just a great diverse book.















- The last book you finished?


The Memory BookThe Memory Book by Lara Avery which is a really good but heartbreaking book already out in America but not in the UK until 2017.












- The Last Book You Bought? 

BlameBlame by Simon Mayo? I don't know it has been a while since I brought a book as I have been on a book buying ban. 














- Weirdest Thing You've Used as a Bookmark?

I often use my own arm as a bookmark so probably that.



- Used Books: Yes or No?


YES! Not all of us can buy books full price. 


- Top Three Favourite Genres?


Contemporary, Fantasy, Dystopia 


- Borrow or Buy?


Buy. I used to have a great library near me but I tried to go to my local library and it is not that good...


- Characters or Plot?

I often feel like characters make a bad plot better so characters.


- Long or Short Books?

Short books because they are fast to read and often get you out of a book slump. 

- Long or Short Chapters?

Short Chapters because they make me feel like I am reading faster and I just like them. 

- Name The First Three Books You Think Of...

The Maze Runner, Am I Normal Yet?, Twilight

- Books That Makes You Laugh or Cry?

Books That Make Me Laugh as a book has never made me cry.

- Our World or Fictional Worlds?

Books with fictional worlds set in our world.

- Audiobooks: Yes or No?

I have not really tried to listen to audiobooks so No I guess. 

- Do You Ever Judge a Book by its Cover?

I want to say No but I guess we all do from time to time!

- Book to Movie or Book to TV Adaptations? 

Book To Movie because out of the two they just tend to be better.

- A Movie or TV-Show You Preferred to its Book? 

The Spectacular Now

- Series or Standalone's? 

Standalones as like previously said I am terrible at series.

So that was the Rapid Fire Book Tag. If you want to do this tag, then I tag you to do. 

See you soon, 

Amy

My Reading Tastes Are Changing

For the last couple of years, I feel like this has become a reoccurring blog post but I want to talk about it now because I think something is actually happening in my reading life. My reading tastes are changing. I've felt it for a while. I haven't really been drawn to YA titles that much anymore especially contemporary. Being busy in my time, I have been really selective in the books that I pick up so for me: the shorter, the better. And when picking up shorter books, the less likely they are to be YA. The more I am exposed to more books, the more I get to read books that I connect to Some of the books that I have picked up have really surprised me because of how much I ended up enjoying them. I think as I grow older, I am looking for different stories, different experiences and different perspectives. These don't just fit the YA mould. I also have been really into different genres like horror and the occasional thriller which have not read from before and I'm interes

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

   * I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. * Title: The Great Godden  Author: Meg Rossoff Publisher: Bloomsbury  Source: NetGalley ( Bookshop UK |  Hive |  Goodreads  |  Storygraph ) Book Summary: Everyone talks about falling in love like it’s the most miraculous, life-changing thing in the world. Something happens, they say, and you know … That’s what happened when I met Kit Godden. I looked into his eyes and I knew. Only everyone else knew too. Everyone else felt exactly the same way. This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer – the summer when everything changes.

Enter two brothers – irresistible, charming, languidly sexy Kit and surly, silent Hugo. Suddenly there’s

Over the course of the last year, I would like to think that I have done this and looking at did a good job considering I have been so busy over the last year.
