![when youre a mood reader, but youre bad at it | the moody book tag
The questions:
1. Do you consider yourself a mood reader?
2. Do you set TBR lists and do you stick to them?
3. Do books affect you emotionally? Does the mood of a book rub off on you?
4. When youβre feeling sad, what do you read? (Or do you not read when sad?)
5. Most often, do you use reading to escape, to learn, or to critically reflect?
6. What is a book that made you laugh out loud?
7. What is a book that has made you cry? Or, if you donβt cry, one that really moved you?
8. What is a book that you didnβt even know how you felt about?
9. Are you more likely to read on a sunny day or a cloudy day?
10. Do you usually βset the moodβ when you read? Music, lights, smells, etc?
11. Can you leap from book to book or do you need buffer time between them?
