I was tagged by Courtney Ferriter, who also created the tag: youtube.com/watch?v=NNKCHwVxQ2g
And then Brian from Bookish double-tagged me: youtube.com/watch?v=qqawV6x77_E
Prompts:
1) What most draws you in to a novel or story and makes you want to keep reading - plot, character(s), writing style, atmosphere, something else?
2) What is a convention or trope that will immediately turn you off in your reading experience with a novel or story?
3) What most appeals to you when reading nonfiction and makes you want to keep reading?
4) What is a convention or trope in nonfiction that will turn you off in your reading experience?
5) Would you say you read more for pleasure and enjoyment or more to learn and exercise your brain?
6) Which type of books are you likely to rate more highly and enjoy more overall - brain "candy" (pleasure/enjoyment) books or brain "protein" (learning/exercise) books?
7) Do you have a sense early on of whether or not the book you're reading will be a five-star read (or a book you will really like)? Has a book ever surprised you in this regard?
8) Considering books that you've rated five stars in the past (or if you don't rate them, then books you really loved), do you think you would feel the same way about them now? Why or why not?
9) Tag people.
