Welcome to today’s Tag Thursday, featuring the This or That Book Tag. Also known as the tag where I give lots of vague answers because I’m terrible at choosing things.
Not sure who originally created this tag, so if you know comment below!
Physical Copy Or E-book?
Great, an easy one to start with! Definitely physical copy. I love everything about actual books: the feeling, the smell, the actual reading. I would only go with e-books if I go on holiday and have a weight limit for my luggage (and even then I might take a few less clothes so I can take an extra book. You just never know!)
Audiobook Or Book In Hand?
Again, easy! Definitely book in hand! Though I would like to try some more audiobooks.
Paperback Or Hardcover?
Hardcover! They’re so pretty and you don’t have to worry about breaking the spine while reading .
Adult Or Young Adult?
Eh, depends on the mood. I’m currently reading a lot of young adult, but honestly I like both equally so don’t make me choose.
Series Or Standalone?
Series! I love binge-reading series. Though sometimes I feel like a series could have just been one big standalone…
Dog-Ears Or Bookmarks?
Bookmarks! Who dog-ears their books? What kind of monster are you?
Borrow Or Buy?
Buy. I like having a selection of books to choose from and I like just having a little library to look at. Also borrowing books puts me under time pressure because I want to be able to return the book quickly and because I’m a big mood reader I may not always be able to.
Bookstore Or Online?
Um. Both? Bookstore for the feeling of browsing, online for the actual book buying (because most books I want I don’t find in our Belgian bookstores).
Fiction Or Non-Fiction?
Fiction all the way!
Fantasy World Or Real Life Issues?
Fantasy world. I can have real life issues in real life, so I want fantasy in my books!
Monster Read Or Short + Sweet?
Depending on the mood. Monster read when I want to get really immersed in another world, short and sweet for summer reads or book hangover cures.
Starry-Eyed Romance Or Full Of Action?
I need both in perfect balance in my books! I’m a romance girl but I can’t take too much of it either – I need it tempered with some fast-paced action scenes.
Curl Up With A Blanket Or Bathe In The Sun?
Curl up with a blanket, unless the sun is shining. I don’t often have the chance in Belgium to sit and read outside so when I have the opportunity I will take it. But I love the comfiness of curling up with a blanket and a good book.
Read The Review Or Decide For Yourself?
Both, if that’s possible? I love reading reviews, but if the synopsis speaks to me I will read the book anyway, even if the reviews are not that good.
Zombies Or Unicorns?
Unicorns! Magic and fantasy beat horror and fear any time.
With you on the bookstore/online thing. I love going to them, but they never have anything I want in my town so I’m so grateful for the online shopping world, haha. I feel the same way about reviews! I love them reading them, but I rarely let them influence my decision (especially to not read, a lot of reviews help convince me to read)!
Also, I don’t think I’ve been getting notifications of your replies to my comments on your posts so I’m really sorry if I’ve been accidentally ignoring you!!
Yes, I love reading all these books so much and my life would be so different if I wouldn’t be able to read them thanks to online shopping 🙂
No worries, you haven’t been ignoring me, thank you for commenting! 🙂 I’m still figuring out all this WordPress stuff so maybe I need to check some option somewhere so people get notifications when I reply… or maybe it depends on the theme… I don’t know but I’ll figure it out 🙂
Getting book mail is also super fun and I get way too excited, haha!
Ah, that’s okay!! I realised that if I subscribe to the posts I’ll get notifications, so I can just do that 🙂
