Q.You have 20,000 books on you TBR. How in the world do you decide what to read next?
A.It is literally principle for me to read the book which I bought first. If I received a package from the mail, the book on top is the one I read first then I make my way down the pile. The only exception is if I have been reading a series and the next in the series is in the package.
Q.You are halfway through a book and you're just not loving it. Do you quit or are you committed?
A.You have to commit- especially if the book is terrible. Only then can I forget about the god-awful book and get it out of my system. Side effects from powering through: Self-lothing for wasting hours on such a dreadful book. (Free books on Amazon Kindle, I'm looking at you)
Q.The end of the year is coming and you're so close, but so far away on your Goodreads reading challenge. Do you try and catch up and how?
A.I would cheat! I'm so competitive so if that ever happened I'd just change a few dates on my previously read books. No one would have to know (Except for you guys... shh). Honestly, I'm really good at marathoning books in one day, so I could probably finish the remaining books over a weekend.
Q.Everyone and their mother loved a book you really don't like, who do you bond with over shared feelings.
A.I usually go on goodreads and find a 1 star review and laugh at how aggravated they were at the protagonists.
Q.You are reading a book and you are about to start crying in public. How do you deal?
A.This actually happened on a bus while reading Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman. I managed to stifle my tears until I got home, then bawled all night till like 4 in the morning. (I'm not even exaggerating this actually did happen).
Q. A sequel of a book you loved just came out, but you've forgotten a lot from the prior novel. Will you re-read the book? Skip the sequel? Try to find a synopsis on Goodreads? Cry in frustration?
A.Re-reading a series is thee best part of the experience. I think you get the nostalgia aspect (remembering when you first read it) of it, and you learn things you may have missed and have a better understanding of the world the story is set in. Shatter Me is a series I could read back-to-back over and over again. (I realise this has nothing to do with the question, but any chance to shamelessly plug this series).
Q.You don't want anyone - Anyone- borrowing your books. How do you politely tell people nope when they ask?
A.I'm a total push-over, so I'd be to afraid to say no. One time, I lent out Entangled by Cat Clarke and I didn't get it back. This girl was notorious for taking things and never returning them, so I don't know why I even gave it away. I never expected to see it again, until after the summer holidays came up and we wee talking about said book and she was like: "Oh yeah I forgot sorry!" Lesson Learnt: Maryam Ishaq needs to learn how to say no.
Q.Reading ADD. You've picked up and put down 5 books in the last month. how do you get over your reading slump?
A.Power through! Or read Harry Potter...
Q.There are so many books coming out that you're dying to read! How many do you actually buy?
A. I just buy them, and then have a panic attack because unlike Harry Potter,I'm frugal as hell.
Q.After you've bought the new books, how long do they sit on your shelf before you get to them?
I just devour them. Unless I've got a pile of them then it''ll take about a week. I tend to go through books really quickly and then I'm left feeling incredibly bored for the rest of the month.
That is all the hypothetical questions I have to answer, Thank you for reading my latest ramblings. Stay tuned for my next addition to Book Porn Tuesday (on Tuesday... obviously)
