Would you Rather? Book Edition

1) Read only trilogies or stand-alones? 

This one is not that hard for me...I love the trilogies because then the books have enough time to say everything they need to but I would totally pick stand-alones because then I don't have to wait for the new ones to come out or worry about reading 3 books when I can know the whole story in one. 

  

2) Read only female or male authors?

I don't know if I can answer this because it doesn't matter who the author is. Honestly half the time I am reading the book I don't even know if it's a man or a woman until the end and I see their picture. 

3) Shop at Barnes & Nobel or Amazon?

This is such an easy question for me. I will go and shop at Barnes & Nobel any day! I would rather go and be able to look around and find so much then have to look up what I want. Yes it can be easier to shop on amazon because it would be in your own home but you would miss out on the experence of going into the store. 

4) All books to become movies or tv shows?

This one is really hard!! I love both tv shows and movies and I can see the positive side to both because movies are always amazing but then tv shows go on for months so I would have these amazing shows for a long time. If I had to pick one I would have to pick movies because it seems like the movies come out so much better than the shows. 

5) Read 5 pages a day or 5 books a week?

Even though I would love to be able to read 5 books a week I would totally rather only read 5 pages a day so that I could actually retain some of what I'm reading. 

6) Be a professional reviewer or an author?

I would rather be a reviewer because I love having conversations with other people about books. I know I could being an author but I wouldn't be out there as much as I would if I was a reviewer. It makes me happy to be able to read a book and talk to people about it. 

7) Only read your top 20 books over and over again or only read books you have never read before?

OMG another horrible question that I cannot answer. Even thought I wouldn't be a reader without some of my favorites I would have to say I'd read only new books because I feel like I would get annoyed with only having those 20 books to read. 

8) Be a librarian or a bookseller? 

Well, I am going back to school to become a librarian so I guess I would have to pick that. But it would be amazing to be a bookseller. I have visions of being Ellen on The Ellen Show because her shop was so cute. 

9) Only read your favorite genre or the opposite?

This one is super easy! Of course I would read my favorite genre. If I got the choice why would I ever read something I hate over something I love. 

10) Only read hardbacks or only e-readers?

I hate hardbacks....but I hate e-readers so much more. I would totally take hardbacks because then at least it would be a physical book in my hands that won't die like an e-reader.

Biggest Book Terms!

Hey Everyone!!
I thought I would do a fun topic today! 

When I started getting into the book world – blogs and booktube channels there were so many different things that I didn’t know. Most of these terms you have to just come across and figure them out for yourself. I thought it would be nice to make a post for you all just in case there is a term or two that you don’t know and wish you did!

Epic Reads is a great company/website that can tell you anything and everything about most books that are coming out or have come out recently. They also have quizzes, blog topics and so much more. So once your done reading some of these cool terms head over to there site and have fun!

Here’s your entry to the book world:

§  Asdfjkl; - This combination of letters can be used when someone needs to express extreme emotions

§  ARC- (advanced readers copy) This is an uncorrected version of a book often mailed to reviewers before it comes out for an honest review of it. You can also call it a galley or proof)

§  Binge read – This is the act of reading large amounts of text in a short time.

§  Book hoarder – This is someone who acquires and stores mass amount of books! [ I guess I have to admit it…I am a full fledged book hoarder! Guess its good to get it off my chest]

§  Book Shelfie – This is when you take a picture of yourself in front of your bookcase. Aka-bookstagram

§  Book Sniffing – This is when people breathe the scent of a book.

§  Dog ear – This is the worst thing you can do to a book! Lol Actually it is the folding of the page of a book in the corner of the page as a bookmark

§  Book Hangover – This is the inability to start a new book because you are still living in the last books world

§  Instalove – This is a literary device that allows characters to quickly fall in love without actually getting to know each other first

§  TBR – “To Be Read” – This is the pile of books you are planning to read, wither it be that month or year or whatever.

Of course there are so many other things that can be on this list but here are the ones that are used the most in the book world!

If you have any you would like to add or think there’s another meaning to one of them please let me know! I love learning more things about this wonderful world!

Hope you guys are enjoying reading!!
