This or That Tag!

Happy Saturday! Or weirdly late on Saturday. I was tagged by the brilliant Of Books and Bailey to do This Tag! Thanks Bailey! I’ll just be answering a bunch of this or that questions and some other random questions! Hope you guys enjoy this!

Hardback, trade paperback or mass market paperback?

HARDBACK. I glare upon mass market paperback, THEY ARE SO TINY. THE TEXT IS LITTLE AND UGH HARDCOVERS ARE JUST GORGEOUS. 

Barnes & Noble or Borders?

Barnes & Noble. I’ve never even gone to a Borders! I think it used to be our Barnes and Noble!

Bookmark or dog-ear?

Bookmark. Dog-ears make me cringe so hard. But as Christine Riccio says, IT WILL LIVE.  But she is the one who also said, “MUNDANE FOOLS IT’S NOT JUST A BOOK.”

Amazon or brick-and-mortar?

AMAZON. I have no idea what brick-and-mortar is, but I sure do like Amazon. THAT’S THE WEBSITE WITH ALL THE THINGS THAT SHIP SO FAST!!!

Alphabetize by author, or alphabetize by title, or random?

I have two bookshelves. One is MY RAINBOW SHELF and the other one is by author and series.

Keep, throw away, or sell?

Keep! I would never throw away my books, just maybe donate them or something!

Keep dust jacket or toss it?

Oh my god why would I toss it?? IT’S A PIECE OF ART.

Read with dust jacket or remove it?

Depends on the floppiness levels.

Short story or novel?

NOVEL. SHORT STORIES TEND TO LACK DEVELOPMENT I LOVE TO SEE IN NOVELS.

Harry Potter or Lemony Snicket?

Harry Potter forever.

Stop reading when tired or at chapter breaks?

Chapter breaks. NEVER TAKE A BREAK IN THE MIDDLE OF A CHAPTER, IT RUINS THE CHAPTER!

“It was a dark and stormy night” or “Once upon a time”?

Once upon a time, because EVEN IN THE FUTURE A STORY CAN START WITH IT. Yes, that was me trying to do a Cinder reference.

Buy or borrow?

Buy! I like to own MY PRECIOUS BOOKS.

Buying choice: book reviews, recommendations, or browse?

Book reviews and recommendations! I don’t usually just pick up a book without some sort of research on the interwebs!

Tidy ending or cliffhanger?

Depends on the story.

Morning reading, afternoon reading, or nighttime reading?

Afternoon reading outside!

Stand-alone or series?
