Fine Reads 2023-03-03 | Congrats to Silverstone Books for their one year anniversary! If you’re looking for a great indie book store, check out www.silverstonebooks.com

I’m unboxing a blind date with a book that I just received from them today.

This or That Tag

Fine Reads 2023-02-26 | Here is the long version of my answers for the This or That Tag. Josh from @RedFuryBooks tagged me a while ago (youtu.be/-605VPW4T6c) and I initially answered these questions in a rapid-fire version here: youtube.com/shorts/yIU7ggVEjxM
But if you wanted to get a bit more detail for my answers to the This or That tag, here they are.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure who the original creator is. Please let me know in the comments if you know and I'll update my description.

00:00 - Intro
00:35 - Paperback or Hardback?
01:35 - Harry Potter or LOTR?
02:41 - Real Books or Ebooks?
03:21 - Buying Books or Borrowing?
04:41 - Read in Bed or Read in Chair?
Book Club or Read Alone? I missed that one… oops. The answer would be “read alone”. But I love to talk about the books with others on i.e., Discord.
05:13 - Library or Bookstore?
06:22 - Nonfiction or Fiction?
06:53 - Print or Audio?
07:56 - New Books or Old Books?
08:55 - Short Chapters or Long?
