Happy Saturday, everyone! This week has been another doozy, but I’m super excited to be back on the blog with a super fun tag. I saw this tag at Finding Wonderland. Apparently this started on Booktube, but thankfully Rissi has brought it to the bloggers!
I feel like some people would definitely ball me a book snob, but I definitely don’t feel like one at all. It seems like primarily reading YA books as an adult makes me the opposite of a book snob, but the tag will tell! Let’s dive into the questions!
No, definitely not! Sometimes I do try to read the book first if I know that a movie or show is coming out soon. Bird Box, for example. Most of the time I don’t, though. Some adaptations that I saw first and then read the book (or made an attempt) are The Lord of the Rings, Call Me By Your Name, The Ritual, and Game of Thrones.
Oh, this one is hard. Honestly, I think I’d have to choose audiobooks. As much as I love reading physical books, I listen to audiobooks almost all the time. I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have books to listen to in the car, while I’m working, or walking. There are only so many podcasts!
Yep! In the time that I’ve known my husband I think he’s read The Hunger Games, The Raft by S.A. Bodeen, and half of Deception Point.
Contemporary romance, no contest. It’s the genre I read least and one I wouldn’t miss at all.
Fantasy. Again, no contest. It’s the genre I read 99% of the time and there’s just so much out there to choose from!
I don’t know how to answer this?? What does it mean? I think people are most snobby about classic literature. As if reading Frankenstein and Little women somehow makes them better readers. BUT, I think YA contemporary romance gets the most snobbery thrown at it. See the latest ridiculous and unwarranted criticism thrown at Sarah Dessen.
I definitely have met a lot of people who are SHOCKED that I actually own books and READ them. I’ve had people tell me that they haven’t read a book since high school like it makes them cool and me a nerd. Joke’s on them because I’m too old to care what other people think.
