Book Snob Book Tag!

Hello Bookish People! I found this tag over at Writer Girls Book Reviews and it seemed very interesting! So, I’ll be doing this tag today! The original creator of this tag is Tia and all the books from Youtube.

Adaptation Snob: Do you always read the book before you see the movie?

Most of the time I do read books before watching the adaptation of it. There have been times when I have only watched the adaptation and not read the books…

Format Snob: You can only choose 1 format in which to read books for the rest of your life. Which one do you choose: physical books, ebooks, or audiobooks?

Physical Copies any day. Although they do take up a lot of space and empty my pockets, but that’s okay!

Ship Snob: Would you date or marry a non-reader?

I don’t know! I have never thought of that aspect. I probably would, because connecting with people with different tastes seems a good thing!

Genre Snob: You have to ditch one genre – never to be read again for the rest of your life. Which one do you ditch?

That would be Fantasy. I like reading fantasies, but sometimes I feel that they are complicated in the aspect of world-building and everything.

Uber Genre Snob: You can only choose to read from one genre for the rest of your life. Which genre do you choose?

*hmph* How can I make this big decision? There are so many sub-genres in Genres. I can’t really choose one 😦

Community Snob: Which genre do you think receives the most snobbery from the bookish community?

I don’t think that a particular genre receives snobbery from the community. Since everyone has their own preferences of the genre, so no one treats any genre as superior to the others 🙂

Snobbery Recipient: Have you ever been snubbed for something that you have been reading or for reading in general?

No, I haven’t been.

These questions were making me make life decisions, but definitely a fun tag! Feel free to do this tag!
Happy Reading!

These books have made me cry, laugh and hooked me to the suspense. I have learned a lot from all these books and I will never stop recommending these books!

I have read many books by these authors and I love them!

I love purple and this cover has it all! The smoke in the background and then the creepy house, I just love the vibe of it! Great cover!

What is your favourite book-to-movie adaptation?

I did not know that my favorite movie is a book adaptation! I have watched this movie I guess 5 times now. Love it! Even Wonder is a great book-to-movie adaptation!

Red (Taylor’s Version) Book Tag!

Hello Everyone! I love books and music, so I am very excited to do this tag today! I was tagged by Riddhi @Whispering Stories, I am a fangirl of the content she posts, so check out her blog and give her some love! The creator of this tag is Paige on Youtube.

State of Grace – best opening book in a series.

Truly Devious

I love this series and Truly Devious was one of the best opening book I have ever read. Although there is a lot of world-building in the first book, it didn’t bother me as I was completely gripped by the story.

Red – a book that makes you feel a whole spectrum of emotion.

A Monster Calls

I had happy and crying moments with this book. Very touching story.

Treacherous – a slow book that you ended up loving.

Lord Of Shadows

This is the sequel to Lady Midnight and the pace of the story was fluctuating according to me. I loved reading this book, but it was a slow read for me.

I Knew You Were Trouble – a book you knew would be bad and ended up being bad

I would leave me if I could

I had a feeling that this book will be an average read for me, but it ended up being a bad one.

All Too Well – the book that has stayed with you the most.

A Monster Calls gets a mention in this one again, I have learned so much from that story and I always think about this book.

22 – coming of age book.

Turtles All The Way Down

A perfect coming of age read. I loved this book!

I Almost Do – the one you keep almost reading and don’t.

Loveboat Taipei

I really want to read this book, but something or the other pops up when I sit with this book.

We Are Never Getting Back Together – a book you want to reread.

Honestly, there are so many books I want to re-read, but I am still not that habitual for re-reading.

Stay Stay Stay – a book everyone dislikes but you love.

We Were Liars

Many people love this book and many don’t. Personally, I enjoyed reading We Were Liars.

The Last Time – what was the last book you read?

Daisy Jones & The Six

This was the last read of 2021. Although I listened to the audiobook (missed two hours of the story by falling asleep), it was fun listening to this one!

Holy Ground – a fan-favorite book.

Heartstopper- Volume 4

It was showing the highest rated on GoodReads on my Year In Books of 2021. Such a cute story!

Sad, Beautiful, Tragic – a book with any of these words in the title.

The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows Of Ava Lavender

I have heard great things about this book, it is highly recommended by Booktubers.

The Lucky One – a book about fame.

Daisy Jones & The Six is about a music band. So, mentioning this one again.

Everything Has Changed – a book that changed how you view something.

I could relate a lot to this book and it has changed my perspective and helped me!

Starlight – a book that makes you feel warm and cozy and magical.

Any John Green book gives me that feeling!

The Moment I Knew – a book that looks happier than it actually is.

Emergency Contact

Very lighthearted and funny story! In love with the characters!

Come Back, Be Here – a book series you want to make a resurgence OR a book series you want to be finished/the author to come back to.

Truly Devious Series

I think Maureen Johnson will come back to this series. She mentioned in her newsletter that she is writing a new Stieve Bell mystery, so hopefully, we get it this year!

Girl At Home – a book that feels like you’re betraying your favorite book/author/character.

Let It Snow

Let It Snow was an okay read for me. Maureen Johnson and John Green are my favorite authors, so I didn’t expect this book to be a disappointing one.

Better Man – a book with a dark/morally grey love interest.

I guess Malcolm Fade from the shadowhunter chronicles, can be counted? I am not sure, but for a long time, he was shown to be the good guy, until, in The Dark Artifices, his love interest and he do evil things.

Babe – a book where a character gets cheated on.

American Royals

The side character gets cheated on in this book.
