Hey, guys! I'm thinking of trying to make this a new thing I do. Every Tuesday I will try and do a book tag I've seen. Like my T5W, I'm probably going to miss weeks. I'm back at uni at the moment and that's why my posts have slowed down a bit so I'm trying to think of ways to give this place a bit more life, so here we go.
For the first week, I'm going to be doing the 'Bookish Would You Rather' tag which has been going around Booktube a lot recently. The tag originated on the Youtube channel RayKayBooks, and you can check out the original video here. Anyway, let's get going!
#1: Would you rather read only trilogies or only stand alones?
Definitely trilogies. Recently I have been reading a lot of stand alones and I do adore them a hell of a lot, but I just enjoy getting to have a bit more of the characters and seeing the depth that a story can be given when allowed more than one book to tell it in.
#2: Would you rather read only female authors or only male authors?
Ahh, this is difficult! I have a lot of favourite authors from both genres. But I think just on principle I'm going to have to go with female authors. I think I'd be fine with that for the most part. Particularly with YA, as majority of the authors in that genre are female.
#3: Would you rather shop for books at Barnes and Noble or Amazon?
As an Australian, this question isn't exactly that relevant to me. I'm going to say Amazon only because I do shop at their Kindle store every now and then but neither of these stores are my go-to bookstores to begin with so I could just as easily say neither.
#4: Would you rather all books become movies or TV shows?
Definitely TV shows! While there has been some amazing book-to-movie adaptations (LOTR is my favourite adaptation of a book ever), I do prefer TV adaptations as they allow the story to not be so condensed. Often in movies, a lot of what's in the books gets cut but that doesn't happen as much in TV and thus, the story remains more faithful. (Side note: this is also why I want someone to make Eragon into a TV series).
#5: Would you rather read 5 pages a day or 5 books a week?
Assuming this in the perfect world where I have the time to read 5 books a week, I would for sure do that one! I'm not a person who enjoys reading books slowly. When I find the time to read, I always try and read a few chapters at least. So, only being able to read 5 pages (thus, only 35 pages a week), I would actually die.
#6: Would you rather be a professional reviewer or professional author?
As much as I enjoy reviewing books, becoming a professional author has and always will be one of my dreams. I'd have to go with that one.
#7: Would you rather only re-read 20 of your favourite books or read only different books once?
Option 2, without a doubt. I'm a big fan of re-reading books, ngl. But the thought of being restricted to only having 20 books to read for the rest of my life is painful. I could not do it. Even if they were my favourites.
#8: Would you rather be a librarian or a book seller?
Hmm. This is difficult. I do like the thought of being a librarian and I don't like the idea of all the business-y stuff behind being a book seller but I still find it appealing. I'm just going to go with librarian because that's what my gut is saying. But I do often fancy the thought of owning my own bookstore/coffee shop.
#9: Would you rather read only your favourite genre or every genre but your favourite?
Okay, this was really hard so I just found a loophole. I'm going to say only read favourite genre because my favourite fantasy and tbh, fantasy has so many branches of it that I can sort of make so many books fit to it. You may be thinking I'm just wussing out of answering this properly and you would be right.
#10: Would you rather only read physical books and e-books?
Physical books. In the past year, I have started reading a lot more e-books, mainly because of convenience. But nothing will replace the enjoyment of reading a physical book and feeling the pages.
So, anyway that's the Bookish Would You Rather book tag. What would your choices be? Let me know in the comments!
Until next time!
