10 Questions Tag

Rules: answer 10 questions and ask 10 new ones.

Thank you to @readingbooksinisrael for the tag! 😀

1. What is your favorite subgenre (fairytale retellings, comedy of manners, alternative history, etc.)?

I do love a good fairytale retelling, now you mention it! I also am a big fan of historical fantasy fiction, if that counts as a subgenre.

2. Do you prefer writing poetry or prose?

Prose, for sure. Poetry and I don’t agree with one another.

3. What’s your favorite book from where you live (interpret this as broadly or as small as you want to)?

I think I’m going to go broadly with this one, because there is so much good Australian fiction out there, particularly by young adult authors.

My favourite is probably Illuminae (The Illuminae Files #1) by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff for how innovative and fresh it is. I also love A Brief History of Montmaray (The Montmaray Journals #1) by Michelle Cooper for sheer rereadability (I know that isn’t a word, but I’m using it, so there!😋).

4. Do you watch any reality tv?

Masterchef and Gogglebox are the biggies, but I also enjoy “time-travel” style reality shows, where modern people experience life in another historical era.

5. Who is your favorite “sidekick” (from Robin to Ron and Hermione)?

Ron and Hermione, since you mentioned it. Can’t think of many others to be honest.

6. Do you prefer warm or cold colours?

Warm.

7. What is your favorite type of art to do?

I don’t really do much art, but if I had to pick one, it would probably be portraiture because I used to do a lot of that.

8. What was your favorite subject in school?

English for sure, because of my writing ability.

9. Do you like writing book reviews?

I used to, but now I can’t be bothered with them. They take too much time and I can’t always think of what I want to say about a book.

10. What’s a short story I should read?

I don’t really read a lot of short stories, but I recently read Lips Touch: Three Times by Laini Taylor and illustrated by Jim Di Bartolo (who is Laini’s husband) and I loved it, so I’d recommend any of the short stories in that, especially if you like fantasy.

I tag: @nerdyenby-vstheworld, @yesireadforfun, @clockwork-reads, @chri55ie, @theforgottencoolkid, @storytime-writings, @reedyalikeabook, @themelodyofspring, @idacippolinni, @jumpthequeue if they would like to do this challenge. If not, that’s totally fine too.

Just a heads up these questions will be of a book related nature. Here they are:

Have you ever finished a book out of spite? Like you weren’t enjoying it, but you were determined not to let it beat you?

Do you prefer ebooks, physical books or audiobooks? Why?

What’s the longest book you have read?

What’s the shortest book?

Do you read more than one book simultaneously? Why or why not? If so, what’s the greatest amount of books you have read at the same time?

Have you ever attempted to read a book that is not in your native language? (both English and non-English speakers can answer) If so, how did it go?

Do you prefer to borrow books from the library or buy them at a bookshop?

Have you ever bought a book from an online store?

Is there one genre or style of book that you will never read?

When you come across typos in your reading, does it bother you?

7 Covers in 7 Days - Day 1

Shades of Darkness by A.R. Kahler

I was tagged by @yesireadforfun. You’ll notice that this is a cover without a book; that’s because my sister loaned it to her friend 6+ years ago and still hasn’t gotten it back...

The watercolor/stained nature of this design drew me in, and I love the color story. I also really like the texture of this cover, what with it being matte.

I’m not comfortable tagging people, but feel free to do this challenge!
