Book tags are a popular thing in the online bookish community. I’ve rarely participated in these, not because I feel like I’m too cool for it, but because I feel like I’m not as well-read as everyone else. However, this A to Z book tag, that I first discovered on ANovelIdea.net is one that I’d like to challenge myself to complete. Anyone reading is also welcome to join in.
So here goes my answers for the A to Z book tag…
|A| Author you’ve read the most books from
J.K Rowling. Because I haven’t read seven books from any other author.
|B| The best sequel ever
The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness
|C| Currently reading
1984 by George Orwell
|D| Drink of choice while reading
Coffee or water
|E| E-reader or physical copy?
I prefer physical, but reading on Kindle is so much easier and saves space.
|F| Fictional character you would have dated in High School
Y.T from Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
|G| Glad you gave this book a chance
The Vegetarian by Han Kang
|H| Hidden gem book
Slugfest: Inside the Epic, 50-year Battle between Marvel and DC. I didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did.
|I| Important moment in your reading life
My mum forcing me to finish reading Chamber of Secrets after she’d bought it for me and I’d given up on it. At this point in time, I was going through adolescence and I thought I was too grown to read Harry Potter. I was ignorant. Good thing my mum changed my mind, or I may have never become the reader I am now.
|J| Just Finished
Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. And The Infinity War by Jim Starlin.
|K| Kind of books you wont read
I don’t like saying there’s a type of book I wont read, as I like to think that I’d read anything.
|L| Longest book you have ever read
Reamde by Neal Stephenson. It’s 1056 pages total. I still don’t know how I did it.
|M| Major book hangover, because of…
A Brief History of Seven Killings. Because it was so overwhelmingly good. It was a lot to take in.
|N| Number of bookcases you own
Just 1, because I have limited space. Some day I want to take up 3 walls with books.
|O| One book you’ve read multiple times
Every Harry Potter book.
|P| Preferred place to read
If not in my bedroom, then at a random coffee shop in London.
|Q| Quote that inspires you
“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking” – from Norwegian Wood, by Haruki Murakami.
|R| Reading regret
Armada by Ernest Cline.
|S| Series you started and need to finish (all books are out)
The Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas
|T| Three of your all-time favourite books
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
The Order of Pheonix by J.K Rowling
The Godfather by Mario Puzo
|U| Unapologetic fanboy for
The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb
|V| Very excited for this release
Crescent City book 1, by Sarah J. Maas
|W| Worst book habit
Instantly buying the Kindle version of a new book I learn about, because I’m overcome with excitement about it.
|X| X marks the spot. Start at the top of your bookshelf and pick the 27th book.
Dark Days by James Baldwin
|Y| Your latest book purchase
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
|Z| ZZZ-Snatcher (The last book that kept you up way too late)
Slugfest: Inside the Epic, 50-year Battle between Marvel and DC. Yep, I enjoyed it that much.
