QTOD: Do you like special editions of books? Enoug

QTOD: Do you like special editions of books? Enough to own multiple copies?⁣
⁣
I usually love special editions, whether they're specific to retailers or if they're anniversary editions like this one. But sometimes they come with stickers that are so dang annoying. 😅 Still, the covers often make them worth it.⁣
⁣
I love the simplicity of this cover. Besides the sticker (which is so hard to ignore), it has such a timeless feel. I also love the little Easter egg of printing some of the prologue really faintly in the background so the cover isn't just plain white.⁣
⁣
—⁣
⁣
Do you have specific memories attached to books?⁣
⁣
Every time I think of The Book Thief, I think of Disney World. 🙈 I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to read such an emotional book while I was at the "happiest place on Earth". It definitely did not fit the mood, but either way, I'm glad I read it.⁣

QTOD: What inspired you to join #bookstagram?⁣
⁣
Fun fact: I originally joined Instagram to earn more entries in a giveaway #EpicReads was hosting. 😅 At least that's what I remember? It's been about five years and that initial post no longer exists so the details are a little hazy.⁣
⁣
After that, I started to use Instagram with the intention to promote my blog but it quickly snowballed into something more.⁣
⁣
A community.⁣
⁣
And here we are today, more than 5 years later.⁣
⁣
It's always interesting to look back through my feed to see how it (and I) have changed over the years. Today's #BookFace is actually inspired by my "first" post (it's the first because I deleted all of the ones that came before it 🙈).⁣
⁣
It's the same concept, just with a lot more Photoshop.⁣
⁣
In 2015, I never would have posted something like this. Seventeen year old Emily would never have imagined this is what my account has evolved into. But I'd like to think Photoshop edits have become somewhat of a "signature" (that's really not the right word) of mine and I truly enjoy making them.⁣

QTOD: Are you looking forward to winter (or summer)?⁣
⁣
Happy book birthday to The Silvered Serpents! It's my favorite book I've read so far this year. I have a full review up on my blog, link in bio. 😊⁣
⁣
Because I loved it so much, I wanted to do something special to celebrate its release, but it didn't exactly turn out the way I wanted. Maybe I'll redo it one day, but this is what I got before I bailed on it. 😅⁣

QTOD: What's your favorite type of baked good?⁣

QTOD: What's your favorite type of baked good?⁣
⁣
Are you more like Enrique who loves cake or Zofia who loves sugar cookies? Or do you prefer something else?⁣
⁣
I love pretty much all types of baked goods - there's no way I can choose just one. I'm definitely more with Zofia though. I like cake, but I'd usually choose a cookie over it, anyday. Unless that cookie has raisins. In that case, anything without raisins is the automatic winner. 😅⁣
⁣

⁣
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the beauty that is this cover? Not only is the design gorgeous, the foiling is absolutely stunning. Just the way the gold reflects light is so pretty! 😍⁣
⁣
Hopefully the cover of The Silvered Serpents will be just as pretty in person. I’m seriously debating planning a visit to my local B&N tomorrow to find out.⁣

QTOD: What are you currently reading?⁣
⁣
I'm not really reading anything right now, as in I'm seriously debating DNFing my current read. But I'm also thinking of rereading Shadowshaper. It really depends if I want to try audiobooks again - my library only has audiobooks of the rest of the series available for digital borrowing. I like to binge read series but I'm also too lazy to jump through the hoops to arrange a curbside pickup so I can borrow the physical books. 😅⁣

QTOD: Do you like reading spin-offs?⁣ ⁣ I sort

QTOD: Do you like reading spin-offs?⁣
⁣
I sort of do? But it really depends on the series and the characters. My favorite types of spin-offs are where the main characters of the first series continue to have a big presence in the spin-off, like Heroes of Olympus, for example.⁣
⁣
But when the spin-off revolves around new(er) characters and a different crew than the first, that’s when things get a little dicey for me. Half the time in those types of spin-offs I just read them to see my favorite characters from the original series again. 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣

I’ve definitely already asked today’s QOTD like a hundred times before. But can we pretend I haven’t? 😅⁣

QTOD: What genre do you read the most? The least?⁣
⁣
I probably read fantasy the most. Interestingly enough, sci-fi, which I consider fantasy's sister genre, is actually one of my least read genres. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sci-fi is just a little too high tech for my brain to handle sometimes.⁣
⁣
I've been getting in more a sci-fi dysopian mood lately though, so hopefully I'll be in the mood to read this series soon.
