hello guys welcome to a tag. i'm going to
be doing the 20 questions tag,
which is created by the blog paper fury.
and i was tagged by gemma. let's get into
this.
so the first question is how many books
are too many for a series?
it depends i think on the severity of
the content in the book.
i think that if you're doing something
that's more lighthearted and silly,
you could probably go on for hundreds of
books, or at least you know,
30 or 40 or 50 if it's something like
that. I do think that's a lot,
but I also don't really- i know that's
really popular in like more general
non-booktube type of fiction like crime
fiction and stuff like that.
or the like a is for murder or whatever-
like that series- and i know the in death
series is like 50 books.
so stuff like that. like i know is there,
but for me i probably wouldn't read
with the exception of warrior cats.
because there's like i think 90 books in
that series so far.
i probably wouldn't really want most
book series to be
over like six or seven- like tens
pushing it. that's a lot of books.
especially if it's a long book.
i am more of a standalone person anyways.
so,
for me to read a series it's gotta be
something real special.
i read the wolf in January, i think, which
is my favorite book of the year, one of
them a new favorite of all time,
and i have not yet picked up the sequel.
i am not a series person. i think that
they're cool,
but it's not something i generally tend
to like. the
fma manga, i think that took me
over a year and a half to finish and
that's manga. how do you feel about
cliffhangers?
i need a satisfying ending, i don't
necessarily need an ending with all the
answers.
i want to at least have an idea or be
able to assume at least where i think
these characters would be
in a couple months or years, even if i
don't read the next
books. but i don't want it to just
end without having an idea of what could
happen.
so i guess i'm more of a not cliffhanger
kind of person.
i don't want it to end in the middle of
a sentence,
if i'm not satisfied with how that
sentence in the beginning has gone. you
know? i want to know like
at least have an idea. hardcover
paperback? hardcover.
it's not like a bourgeois thing or
anything like that, hardcovers just last
longer. i've had warrior cat hardcovers
that have lasted through
three four moves and I've had them
for over a decade, and they're still fine.
meanwhile i do have some paperbacks that
have lasted a fairly long time but they
don't look as pretty.
and they're not as structurally sound
and i have to use a whole lot of duct
tape. so.
hardbacks always. so favorite book?
while you guys probably all know it's a
wizard of earth see i would like to give
my updated favorites of all time list.
now my favorite books
are a wizard of earthsea, the fitz series-
but i do if i have to choose say fool's
fate-
watership down, the godfather, the count
of monte cristo,
the wolf, shogun, the seas,
the switch, circe, the rage of dragons,
and
dune. and the average age of my favorite
books of all time-
or their publication day is 1977. which i
think is kind of funny.
least favorite book? i don't really like
to focus on negative thoughts about a
lot of books.
most of them i just think are not for me.
i haven't really read
bad books. there are a couple that i will
say that i don't love but,
the one i read recently was house. i
think that was by frank peretti.
didn't like it. love triangles- yes or no?
for me-
no. anything with love i tend to avoid if
possible. unless it's written in a really
good way.
the most recent book you just couldn't
finish? that would actually be the black
count. there was nothing wrong with that
book, but,
it just didn't really work for me. i feel
like it wasn't something
i was super into- and overall i just
didn't really care too much about that
one.
it's a non-fiction book about alexander
dumas' father,
alexander dumas. it just- i wasn't into it.
a book you're currently reading?
i just started taipan by James clavell,
who wrote shogun one of my favorite
books of all time,
if you remember from a couple moments
ago. i
accidentally started gaijin because i
thought that was the next one. i thought
it didn't really
matter, because i didn't even realize
they took place in the same country.
however, they do. so this one I've got to-
i got 57 pages into that, and then i was
like oh shit i got to read taipan first.
i read
i'm on taipan now i've got 20 pages into
that. in terms of
audio i don't really have anything right
now and then for ebooks
i will start my dark vanessa soon.
because i'm reading that with some
people on twitter.
but i don't have a set anything on that
either so really just taipan for now.
last book you recommended to someone? so
the last book that i read that was
actually really good
that i think more people should read is
the rage of dragons. and
you guys will hopefully get if it's not
already
up a full video review on it.
but that's kind of hard to do. i'm
gonna have to script it- i don't really
script videos- so
hopefully that will be here in the month
of august. you've read by publication
date-
i don't know probably something
from like the 1700s maybe 1600s.
i read a lot of old shit. newest book
you've read by publication
date? what's that shit called uh
order of the pr moon reflected in water,
i did read
that in june like 23rd whenever it was
released, or something like that. or 13th.
whatever. i read that like when it came
out.
favorite author? what i would consider
auto by
authors, that will be robin hobb- in order
i guess we'll go to that- so robin hobb,
haruki murakami,
elmore leonard, and nedi okorafor. buying
books or borrowing books?
i would say probably borrowing. i borrow
way more books.
but i do want to get my tbr
shelves down to half by the end of this
year, so
hopefully that will happen, and then
maybe i'll
buy more. a book you
dislike that everyone seems to love? i
would say a lot.
um i guess oh most recently will be
gideon the 9th.
i just i have a lot of content on gideon
the 9th if you want to go through my
channel and see
everything that i have on gideon because
it's a lot. and
not my favorite, i'll say. bookmarks or
dog ear?
bookmark generally bookmark unless the
book is that trashed and even then
usually i'll bookmark it. a book you can
always
reread? watership down, i read it 15 times,
i think at this point, so yeah watership.
can you read while listening to music? no
i cannot. uh barely at all. i
would choose to not do that. when my
boyfriend plays guitar hero or if he's
actually playing real guitar,
i can but if he's listening to videos or
talking, i can't read.
i can't read even if someone is talking,
i can't read at the same time, because i
i just can't focus on two things at once
like that.
music is almost as bad but i can usually
kind of tune that out a little more.
i would never choose to listen to music
while reading, but if it's on i can
tolerate it. even if it has words.
but i cannot tolerate speaking while i'm
reading.
one pov or multiple?
usually i think i prefer one, and i
really like the god's eye view. or i like
it when it's just
first person past tense. that's it's my
favorite. but i
i like multiple povs at times if the
book starts
out with multiple povs. i really
generally hate when it switches.
i prefer it to always be from one pov.
i do like when it's the pov that like
watches everybody like the god's eye
view.
but it switches between characters i
think that's cool
sometimes. but really i like to follow
one person.
um and sometimes like i'd like to follow
more.
but i guess like most of the time i do
like it to either be from one person's
point of view,
or if it follows multiple people, i don't
necessarily want to be in their head.
read a book in one sitting or over
multiple days?
usually multiple days just because most
of the books i read are too long to read
in one sitting usually.
and then it was just who do you tag? that
is it
for me today. i hope you guys liked this
little tag video it was super fun and i
will talk to you guys
later bye.
