- E-Book or Physical Book? Physical, I like the feel & smell of an actual book. Though I like the convenience of a Kindle when it's bedtime & it's lights out.
- Paperback or Hardback? Has to be hardback, more robust especially when in my rucksack or when my 2 children decide to purge my bookcases lol.
- Online or In-Store Book Shopping? Online. I like going into bookstores for the smell & to look at the books if I'm passing, but love the convenience of getting my books delivered & being able to shop in my pyjamas late at night.
- Trilogies or Series? Series as long as it's relevant & their not just drawing the story out. Like series that have 20+ books are a big turn off for me, unless it can then be split down to different seasons if you know what I mean?
- Heroes or Villains? I'd say anti-hero I don't necessarily like the good or the bad guys but the characters that are in that grey area in-between.
- A book you want everyone to read? Wonder by R J Palacio. Everyone needs to read & take something away from it, mainly not to judge people by their looks.
- Recommend an underrated book? Empress of a Thousand Skies by Rhoda Belleza.
- The last book you finished? Outlander by Diana Gabaldon.
- The Last Book You Bought? The Elite by Kiera Cass.
- Weirdest Thing You've Used as a Bookmark? Haven't a clue only thing I can think of the now is my over the head headphones but could have used something weirder that I just can't remember.
- Used Books: Yes or No? Yes, as long as there's no pages missing.
- Top Three Favourite Genres? Fantasy, Thriller & Sci-fi.
- Borrow or Buy? I buy my books, mainly from subscription boxes & charity shops. But if anyone recommends me a book & lets me borrow them then I borrow them.
- Characters or Plot? If the characters are really good but there's no plot or vice versa then I can deal with that. However if the characters are not the greatest & there's no plot then I'm struggling.
- Long or Short Books? Somewhere in between? Most of the books I read average from 300 - 500 pages.
- Long or Short Chapters? Either.
- Name The First Three Books You Think Of... Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, Sleeping Beauties & Wonder
- Books That Makes You Laugh or Cry? Would rather laugh than cry.
- Our World or Fictional Worlds? Fictional please I like the escapism
- Audiobooks: Yes or No? I would have to say no for now. Tried them a couple of times & end up spacing out after a couple of minutes.
- Do You Ever Judge a Book by its Cover? I try not to but sometimes the covers are just that bad...
- Book to Movie or Book to TV Adaptations? After the adaptations I've personally seen would have to be book to TV.
- A Movie or TV-Show You Preferred to its Book? Pass.
- Series or Standalones? Standalones.
I tag whoever wants to do it!
I prefer physical books too. And I love hardcovers because I keep books forever. My paperbacks tend to fall apart with repeated readings. I’m getting better with audiobooks. I still space out, but not as often as I used to.

Yeah I'm like that with the audiobooks, I will keep trying though, hopefully one day I'll find one that will break that barrier of spacing out.
