Q&A

  • Reading on the couch or reading in bed?

Reading in bed. I rarely ever read on the couch. It’s usually my bed or outside in the sun if it’s warm. Well, and now with Netgalley at my computer, so at my desk.

  • Main character: Male or Female? 

I honestly can’t say I have a preference there. Both are perfectly fine with me.

  • Sweet or salty snacks while reading?

As I usually read in bed, often before I go to sleep, I don’t usually eat while reading. I recently did enjoy some salty snacks while reading eARCs from Netgalley on my computer though.

  • Trilogies or quartets? 

I don’t read a lot of series, but if it’s something I’m really interested in, it doesn’t matter how many books there are.

  • First Person or Third person POV? 

There’s no particular reason for this, but I tend to prefer when stories are told from a third person pov.

  • Night or morning reader? 

Oh no. I’m definitely not a morning person. I can hardly keep my eyes open in the morning, so definitely no reading then for me 😀 As I mentioned previously, I often read before sleeping, but any time of the day besides morning is good for me.

  • Libraries or bookstores? 

Libraries! The old, luxurious ones full of antique books. Paradise.

  • Books that make you laugh or books that make you cry? 

It’s very hard to get me to actually laugh out loud for a book. It’s much easier to make me cry. Which I actually find hilarious now that I said it 😀 But okay. I guess since books that make me laugh, really laugh, are relatively rare, I’m going with those.

  • Black or white book covers? 

Fascinating. I’m really obsessed with book covers (as most of us bookworms I guess), but I don’t have a preference on this one.

  • Character driven or plot driven stories? 

Some of my favorite books are character driven – a well-written character is everything! I don’t mind plot driven stories either though.

 
And I tag…

  6. I had to think about that POV question for a moment, myself… I also prefer third-person, but I think that’s because I don’t often read first person POV. I’m just *used* to third-person… That might be a cop-out answer, but .
    I like this tag. It’s bookish, and I learned something about you. 🙂 Thanks for sharing, M!

    • You’re right, that might be part of the reason. Third person POVs are just much more common. However, I rarely find myself annoyed or feeling that a POV is weird with third person POVs. It does happen a lot more easily with first person POVs that something doesn’t sit right with me about the perspective.

  8. I don’t know how people are able to read during the mornings either…*shakes head*. Also, I guess this means you won’t be at the Book Fair in the early hours of the morning either eh? 😉
