20 Questions Book Tag

 I found this book tag over on Book Coffe Happy blog and I really wanted to do it, so here we go...

1) How many books are too many books in a series?

I don't think there is such a thing as too many or too few books in a series. It all depends on the genre, the story, the structure, and of course the author. As long as it is done well it can be one book or it can be 50. I only care if it is a good story and I believe a story should have as many books as it needs to be told nicely. 

2) How do you feel about cliffhangers?

I love them! I love reading them, I love writing them, they're great! 😍💙😢

3) Hardback or paperback?

I'd love to have a combination of both. They both have pros and cons. But I guess ideally the answer would be: hardbacks for the bookshelves, because they look incredibly pretty, but paperbacks for the actual reading because they are lighter and softer to hold.

4) Favourite book?

I have many, but "The Hunger Games" series is one of my favorites and has remained on the top of my rankings for a long time.

5) Least favourite book?

"50 shades of grey"... Goodness I despise this book! 

6) Love triangles, yes or no?

I usually do not prefer them, but I'm not completely negative about them too. If it is done well and written in an interesting way, it could work and I could like it.

7) The most recent book you just couldn't finish?

It's been a long time since I DNF'd a book, but maybe it was "City of Bones"...

8) A book you're currently reading?

I'm currently reading "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".

9) Last book you recommended to someone?

"Living, Loving and Learning by Leo Buscaglia. I recommended it to one of my colleagues. I also have a post talking about it if you want to check it out click here.

10) Oldest book I've read?

Does the "Odyssey" by Homer count? If it does, then that's probably the one. It's surely the oldest one I can think of.

11) Newest book you've read?

I have no idea, I don't really keep track of how recent the books are and I'm definitely not one to chase the newest releases every year.

12) Favourite author?

So far I don't have one and I couldn't pick just one if my life depended on it... 😜

13) Buying books or borrowing books?

Ideally, I would love to be able to buy all the books I want and have a beautiful library in my home. Unfortunately, I cannot afford this right now so I settle for a combination of borrowing, exchanging, and downloading books. Borrowing is fine and I could go on exclusively borrowing books if the situation in my country was different. Sadly, in my country, we have very few libraries which have a limited variety of books (especially the ones I'm interested in) and the conditions are not the greatest in them. Also, due to this lack of libraries and borrowing mentality, sadly, most people also lack civilization and respect for borrowed books.

14) A book you dislike that everyone else seems to love?

The TMI series by Cassandra Clare. Her - and her books' - fanbase seems huge, so many people love those books and the author. All I can say is that I cannot see what they find in them and I'm surely not one of them.

15) Bookmarks or dogears?

Definitely bookmarks. I hate dog-earring. I don't mind writing on books, taking notes, or underlining, but I can't stand or understand dogears. (At least in novels, because I love dog-earring school and uni books, it really helped me back in the day)

16) A book you can always re-read?

Any one of my favourite books. But I have found that each time I re-read "Living, Loving and Learning I feel like a different person and probably even become a bit of a better person after I'm done.

17) Can you read while listening to music?

No, I prefer to have absolute silence while I read.

18) One POV or multiple POV's?

I love them both as long as they are done well and they complement and fit the story. They both have a place in different kinds of stories and I love to see them both as long as they are the right choice for the respective story.

19) Do you read a book in one sitting or over multiple days?

Though I have finished books in one sitting quite a few times, I'm generally a slow reader both because of circumstances like limited time and heavy schedule and because of preference and choice.
