I found this book tag online and thought it would be fun to do!

It was originally created by Girl Reading on youtube.

E-book or Physical Book?

Physical book. I do have a kindle though, and it is extremely convenient and easy to keep downloading books onto. But overall, I prefer physical books.


Paperback or Hardback?

Hardbacks. But paperbacks are generally easier to carry around. 


Online or In-Store Book Shopping?

Definitely In-Store book shopping. But online is easier if I have a particular book in mind.


Trilogies or Series?

I am not sure about this but I am going to say trilogies because they hold my attention span longer than series do.


Heroes or Villians?

Heroes from a plot point of view and I like reading from their perspective. But villains as characters are almost always more interesting.


A Book You Want Everyone To Read?

"Brown Girl Dreaming - by Jaqueline Woodson". 

My review for it:

Recommend An Underrated Book?

I'm not sure which books are underrated because I don't usually read super popular books. But I enjoy Jacqueline Wilson's Hetty Feather series and Grace Lin's books as well.


The Last Book You Finished?

"The Unadoptables - by Hana Tooke"

My review for it:

Last Book You Bought?

"The Unadoptables - by Hana Tooke". (Technically my mother bought it though.)


Weirdest Thing You've Used As A Bookmark?

Anything that is lying around! 


Used Books: Yes or No?

Yes, but I don't have many.


Top Three Favourite Genres?

Contemporary/Realistic Fiction, Magic Realism, Fantasy


Borrow or Buy?

Either! I like having my own books, but I love borrowing and using the library as well.


Characters or Plot?

Both! I have read some books with annoying characters and a predictable plot but I think for me both are equally important.


Long or Short Books?

Somewhere in the middle.


Long or Short Chapters?

Definitely short chapters.


Name The First Three Books You Think Of:

Nevermoor - by Jessica Townsend (because that's what I'm currently reading)

The Unadoptables - Hana Tooke

I Swapped My Brother On The Internet - Jo Simmons (also currently reading)


Books That Make You Laugh Or Cry?

Books that make me cry, I love emotional reads. But one in a while I will pick up a book just to laugh.


Our World or Fictional World?

Totally depends on the fiction world.


Audiobooks: Yes or No?

No.


Do You Ever Judge A Book By Its Cover?

Sometimes, yes.


Book to Movie or Book to TV Adaptations?

I usually think the book is better, and I've never seen a TV adaptation so I'm going to say movie.

But films like Kiki's Delivery Service and Howl's Moving Castle were books first but I haven't read them yet, and I love the movies. Little Women is a great movie too.


A Movie or TV-Show You Preferred To The Book?

None.


Series or Standalones?

Standalones.

January is relentless.  The days are bleak and cold, only occasionally coloured by mugs of hot chocolate (despite minor lactose aversions - the jury’s still out on whether it's worth it or not) and shared moments on the living room sofa where it takes approximately one full dinner discussion plus an additional fifteen minutes to come to a consensus on the movie of the night. A notification containing the week’s GRAP restrictions finds its way into the family group chat each week, punctuating the passing of time. We collect all the sunshine we can find, as it filters through windows and smiles, and when we can’t do that we make our own with our new-old lamp which has finally found a new home.  Amidst new year’s quiet chaos, we brave the cold - not on a quest for sunshine, but for a number; an identity wrapped up in digits. To the post office we go.  The room is small and grey. Babies are lifted up to chairs to have their pictures taken, forms are filled, and documents are ...

Brown Girl Dreaming - Jacqueline Woodson

I honestly do not know how to begin, Gorgeous writing Powerful images So much heart and So much hope Every page was a gift - a little window into her soul, heartbreak, grief, joy, family, loneliness, childhood, history, love. I savoured  and then devoured it. I wish I could buy copies for the world. This book reached into my ribcage, pulled at my heart, and returned it a little scarred but more healed than it has ever been before. This book is a memoir written in free verse. It is a non-fiction autobiography. It takes place in the 1960's and 1970's.  Jacqueline is an amazing character and reading about her journey through childhood, her discovering her dreams, growing up in the segregated south, her emotions, was like opening a window into the author's soul and getting to experience her story first-hand. Jacqueline Amanda Woodson was born to Jack Austin Woodson and Mary Anne Irby on February 12th, 1963. Her father was determined that his children would not live a life contr...
