QTOD: What are some of your least favorite fiction QTOD: What are some of your least favorite fictional creatures?⁣ ⁣ Honestly, zombies are one of my least favorite. They just creep me out. The image under the cover flap of this book is something straight out of a nightmare. Which would explain why I still haven't mustered up the courage to read this despite owning it for the last few years. 😅⁣ ⁣ To be fair to zombies, I scare easily so it's really more of a me problem. I mean, I'm not the biggest fan of a bunch of other creatures that are typically associated with Halloween, either. It's not just zombies but really anything spooky and scary.⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #allthebooksoct20 [halloween reads]⁣ ⁣ #bookbookowlhocuspocus [apocalypse setting]⁣ ⁣ #fearyournovel [happy halloween]⁣ ⁣ #tumblesoverbooks [lila bard: full of sass]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #JonathanMaberry #SimonTeen #booksbooksbooks #bookish #alwaysreading #bookpost #yareads #booksaremagic #bibliophilelife #booksmakemehappy #mybookishfeatures #yabookstagrammer #readersunite #bookrelated
QTOD: What’s one of your favorite underrated boo QTOD: What’s one of your favorite underrated books/series?⁣ ⁣ #Graceling is one of mine! I don’t think I see too many posts about it here. Which is kind of sad because it’s honestly one of my favorites.⁣ ⁣ I’m always looking for underrated books to add to my (totally overflowing) tbr. Hyped books are always so hit or miss for me and I’m so tired of being disappointed. What’s sad is half the time, I probably would have liked the book/series more if I didn’t develop such high expectations based on all the hype around it.⁣ ⁣ How do you feel about hyped books? Love or avoid?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #creativebookstagram [princess / prince]⁣ ⁣ #StarsInTheDark [brought me back to life]⁣ ⁣ #bookbookowlhocuspocus [pumpkin carving: dagger or blade on cover]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #KristinCashore #readingtime #booknerd #instareads #bookwormlife #booksofinsta #whatiread #readingtogether #bookreaders #bookdragons #cozyreads
QTOD: What kinds of covers do you like the least?⁣ ⁣ I'm not a big fan of people on covers, at least when they’re photographed. It doesn’t matter if it’s just a face or a whole body shot, I am not a fan of the typical stock model look. It’s covers like those that make me excited for cover changes. 😆⁣ ⁣ Normally I HATE it when books are repackaged but sometimes I’m excited for them (assuming I don’t already own the old version). Take these #PoisonPrincess covers for example. One of them is just so much more appealing to me, just saying. 💁🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Do you like cover changes?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #ampersandoct20 [werewolf: cover changes]⁣ ⁣ #cozyascanbee [villains]⁣ ⁣ #bookreadhappyhour [the horror! the horror!]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #KresleyCole #TheArcanaChronicles #SimonTeen #bookcommunity #bookaddict #bookoftheday #readersgonnaread #yafantasy #readingcommunity #bookaddiction #readingforpleasure #bookishcommunity #bookstagrammademedoit #booksconnectus #bookishsupport
QTOD: What's a character would you dress up as for QTOD: What's a character would you dress up as for Halloween?⁣ ⁣ I think it'd be fun to dress up as Jude for a night. Her hair horns are kind of cute, even though they’re quite difficult to achieve in real life. Trust me, I tried for a while before I gave up and resorted to using Photoshop magic.⁣ ⁣ But maybe I'll wait until the books are adapted into movies or a tv show so I won't have to deal with as many "and who are you supposed to be?" questions. 😅⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #allthebooksoct20 [character I'd dress up as]⁣ ⁣ #fearyournovel [happy halloween]⁣ ⁣ #bookreadhappyhour [body parts on the cover]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #TheCruelPrince #HollyBlack #FolkOfTheAir #JudeDuarte #bookcommunity #currentlyreading #bookdragon #allthebooks #beautifulbooks #yafantasy #readeveryday #readergram #readersunite #booksmakemehappy #yabookstagrammer #coverlove #bookishedit
QTOD: Do you like spoilers?⁣ ⁣ I'm definitely QTOD: Do you like spoilers?⁣ ⁣ I'm definitely not a fan of them. They ruin a lot of things for me. Knowing what's going to happen kills a lot of the suspense and motivation to keep reading a book/series. For example, I was really excited to read the rest of the Divergent series after loving the first book but then someone had to go ahead and spoil the last book for me. And now I can't seem to work up the courage to finish reading the trilogy.⁣ ⁣ Same thing goes with the Trials of Apollo series. Part of me doesn't want to read it because of a major spoiler of what happens in those books. Sometimes ignorance IS bliss and there's a childish part of me that believes if I never read the spoiler, I can pretend it doesn't exist.⁣ ⁣ Are there any books you're avoiding because of a spoiler?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ That said, there is a part of me that looks for spoilers. Hell, when I was younger, I used to be known to read the last page of a book first. I guess that's my anxiety speaking. As much as spoilers suck, there's still some slight comfort in knowing what's going to happen and having time to prepare for it. I guess that's why I prefer to keep rewatching the same tv shows instead of starting new ones.⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #booksofoct20 [fire]⁣ ⁣ #rfaboct20 [female fighter]⁣ ⁣ #StarsInTheDark [darker days]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookgram #bookaholic #booksofig #constantreader #yafiction #readreadread #bookrecommendation #justread #bookwormsunite #readerproblems #bookaesthetics #hyggebookstyle
QTOD: Do you use a bookmark while reading?⁣ ⁣ QTOD: Do you use a bookmark while reading?⁣ ⁣ It depends. I usually just use whatever is convenient - sometimes a tissue, sometimes a receipt, etc. But sometimes, if I'm not in a rush, I'll use an actual bookmark. Bonus points if I can match it to the book. There's just something so satisfying about using a bookmark that matches your book.⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ I might end up retaking this photo next year (assuming I'm still posting then). I was in a rush when I took this and didn't wait for better lighting and I kinda regret it. It would look so much better if I had only lit it properly. *sigh⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #fearyournovel [pumpkins]⁣ ⁣ #cozyascanbee [books & bookmarks]⁣ ⁣ #tumblesoverbooks [black london: apocalyptic]⁣ ⁣ #bookreadhappyhour [emotionally unstable AI]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #AmieKaufman #JayKristoff #Illuminae #bookobsessed #bookstagrammer #bookishlove #bookpics #readingtime📖 #bibliophilelife #bookaesthetic #bookishphotography #readergram #loveofbooks #yabookstagrammer #yaauthors
QTOD: Are you a fan of horror/spooky books?⁣ ⁣ QTOD: Are you a fan of horror/spooky books?⁣ ⁣ In all honesty, I'm not. I'm too much of a scaredy-cat. 🙈 I can't even watch Criminal Minds alone.⁣ ⁣ That said, as much as I'm scared of horror and all things spooky, I love a good thriller or mystery. Hence, why Criminal Minds is still one of my favorite shows despite how gruesome it can get.⁣ ⁣ So while everyone else starts reading all the spooky, Halloween themed books on their tbr, I'll stick to thrillers, thank you very much.⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ If you love Criminal Minds, I highly recommend you read The Naturals series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. It's like Criminal Minds, but with teens.⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #ampersandoct20 [potion: tea for mad hatter day]⁣ ⁣ #allthebooksoct20 [scared me]⁣ ⁣ #cozyascanbee [thrillers]⁣ ⁣ #rfaboct20 [satisfying read]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #jenniferlynnbarnes #yalit #booklove #vscobooks #bookgirl #bookreviewer #whatiread #yalovin #lightreading #booksmakemehappy #loveofreading #bookdragons #cozybooks
