So as the title suggests, lets get on with the Rapid Fire Book Tag straight away!
eBooks or physical books?
Oh, floored at the first
question…..ebooks as we have storage issues at home and suitcase space problems
when travelling!
Paperback or hardback?
Paperback – hardbacks are too heavy and awkward to
hold….!
Online or in-store shopping?
Honestly, it’s online, but I cannot walk
past a bookshop without going in and will always spend a lot of time and money
in them!
Trilogies or series?
Series….. I tend to forget the details
needed to keep track with a trilogy and a series generally keeps the central
characters but with a new story each time
Heroes or villains?
Heroes – strong female leads especially!
A book you
want everyone to read?
Recommend an
underrated book?
Let Me Tell You About A Man I Knew by Susan Fletcher
The last book
you finished?
Everything
But the Truth by Gillian McAllister
Weirdest
thing you used as a book mark?
A
plastic ‘book sprout’ book mark thing that someone bought me – it was just
weird. And I couldn’t figure out how to use it.
Used books,
Yes or no?
Always a yes!
I walk past Oxfam Bookshop everyday (dangerous).
Top
three favourite genres?
Psychological
Thrillers
Contemporary
Fiction
Classics
Borrow or
Buy?
All of
the above
Characters or
plot?
Characters. I've got to feel something for the people involved or it means nothing.
Short or long
book?
On a kindle I
have no idea how long the book is going to be and I quite like that…..!
Long or short
chapters?
Short.
Always creates great tension in a plot and more importantly means I can easily
read a few chapters while cooking / waiting in traffic / watching children’s
sports matches
Book to movie
or book to TV adaptation?
Book to
TV adaptation.
Name the first
three books you think of?
What
Alice Knew by TA Cotterill
A
Dangerous Crossing by Rachel Rhys
My
Cousin Rachel by Daphne Du Maurier
Books that
make you laugh or cry?
Oohhhh
tricky….. I guess cry - I do like a bit of trauma, turmoil and angst!
Our world or
fictional worlds?
As in real or fantastical? Real -Not good with fantasy genre
Of
course. And too quickly!
Series or
standalone?
Standalone.

I had to move my bedroom this weekend and I cursed at the physical books, haha! They were so heavy and so many!! But I cannot stop loving them, even if I adore my Kindle!
ReplyDeleteI have no choice but to buy online but I miss browsing and wandering around a bookstore. I really want to read Everything but the Truth!
Great answers!
