Kategorie: Challenges and Tags

A cool book tag I saw from Inspired by Literature’s blog. You just have to think of a book (books) which you can connect to the following social media websites. I have an account in all of these websites except Myspace (well I used to have one) and you can also follow or add me if you want. Just check out my About Me page. So, let’s start.

Twitter – your favorite shortest book.

It’s Six Earlier Days by David Levithan. It’s the prequel of Levithan’s Every Day and it’s only available in ebook. I’ve read Every Day first before Six Earlier Days. A short read with so much emotions.

Facebook – a book everyone pressured you into reading.

I can’t think of any. My friends recommend books to me but they don’t pressure me (or something like that) to read them. For example, I’m currently reading Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma because most of my friends recommended this book.

Tumblr – a book you read before it was cool.

Uhmm. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher and The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. I’ve read both back in 2012. Can you blame me if I sometimes feel irritated because TFIOS became overated specially before and after the movie was released?

Myspace – a book you don’t remember if you liked or not.

It’s probably the Matched Trilogy by Ally Condie. As far as I can remember I got hooked on the first book and then I can’t remember anymore how I felt with the second and the final book.

Instagram – a book so beautiful you had to instagram it.

This is quite hard. I’m choosing Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and Hollow City by Ransom Riggs. Not just the cover but also the photos inside and the story as well.

Youtube – a book you wish would be turned into a movie.

I think it’s Wonder by RJ Palacio. It may have a simple plot but it will definitely move you.

Goodreads- a book you recommend to everyone.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I’ve read this recently and watched the movie as well. It’s really one of the must reads, either you’re into historical book or not.

I had fun even this tag is short. Feel free to do this and don’t forget to comment your link. 🙂

I was on Inspiredbyliterature’s page and I saw this. It looks fun so might as well try it. No need to explain how it works because it’s simple and obvious. 🙂

Physical book or E-book?
Both. I have a lot of ebooks than physical because, let’s be honest, e-books are more cheaper and you can bring them all everywhere. But of course nothing beats the physical.

Audio or Book in hand?
Book in hand. I’ve never tried audio books. I prefer to read stories than listening or watching them. You will see me reading with earphones on because I mostly read while listening to music.

Paperback or Hardcover?
Paperback. The only hardcover I’ve read is TFIOS because I don’t have a paperback of it. Though hardcovers look pretty on shelf.

Adult or Young Adult?
Mostly Young Adult books. I think and feel that I’m still young. Haha! I’m trying to read some Adult books from time to time.

Series or standalone?
Both, i think. What i love with stand-alone is i don’t have to wait for the next book to know what will happen next. With series, it sometimes takes years for the release of the next book and I have the tendency to forget what happened with the first. I’m most of the time always the „last person“ to read a series because I wait for all the books to be released before I will start reading them.

Dog ears or bookmarks?
Bookmarks! I can’t do dog ears to my books.

Breaking the spine or barely opening the book?
Barely opening the book! I can’t also do that to my books.

Borrow or buy?
I usually buy books because I can do anything I want to them. I can put cover or highlight some lines. Sometimes I borrow from the library.

Bookstore or online?
Both. I enjoy being in a bookstore and discover new books but sometimes they don’t have the books I want so i end up ordering them online. It’s more cheaper sometimes.

Fiction or non-fiction?
Both, depending on my mood.

Fantasy world or real life issues?
Both. Real life issues where I can relate much and Fantasy so I can use my imagination more.

Kindle, iPad, or other?
I have both but I read more with my Kindle than my iPad.

Monster read or short & sweet?
Both. Well it really depends because I read slow.

Starry-eyed romance or full of action?
A combination of the two or sometimes more with starry-eyed romance.

Curl up in a Snuggie or bathe in the sun?
I don’t like staying under the sun. I prefer more reading on the balcony with a nice view than wearing a snuggie.

Read the review or decide for yourself?
Decide by myself. I barely read the review even the synopsis of a book. I sometimes judge the book by it’s cover.

Zombies or unicorns?
Unicorns! I’m okay with zombies but i love unicorns.

🙂 There! Feel free to make this book tag.
