Tag Tuesday: The Moody Book Tag! The Reading Mushroom 2021-02-16 | Today I am doing the Moody Book Tag! Yay! I hope you enjoy this video. The Questions: 1) Do you consider yourself a mood reader?2) Do you set TBRs and do you stick to them?3) Do books affect you emotionally?4) When you're feeling sad, do you like to read sad, happy or neutral books?5) Most often, do you use reading to escape, learn or critically reflect?6) What is a book that made you laugh out loud?7) What is a book that made you cry? If you don't cry, one that moved you?8) What is a book you didn't even know how you felt about after? 9) Are you more likely to read on a sunny or cloudy day?10) Do you usually “set the mood” when you read? Music, lights, smells, etc?11) Can you leap from book to book or do you need buffer time between?Reading and whatnot: youtube.com/channel/UCrStl2y1P_qQfpXtLBGOLRQ/videosBooks I mention:The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel BarberyThe Divine Cities Trilogy by Robert Jackson BennettThe Midnight Library by Matt HaigGintama by Hideaki SorachiSket Dance by Kenta ShinoharaMexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-GarciaAnnihilation by Jeff VanderMeerLifestyles of Gods and Monsters by Emily RobersonOn the Map by Simon Garfield
