I’ve seen this tag on a few Youtubers/Booktubers channel and thought I would answer them myself as it sounded like fun. I would love if any of you answered these too to find out your answers, and please leave a link in the comments if you do (or have already)

Would You Rather?

I think Only Read Stand Alones, while I love some book series’,  I think the ability to change genre with standalone books when I’m not in the mood for certain styles is more important.

Probably Female Authors, as I haven’t read many male authors, since not many write my favourite genre.

OK, so I changed the original question from Barnes and Noble to Waterstones, since that’s the UK’s biggest bookshop chain. On one hand I love buying books from physical shops and Waterstones in Piccadilly is heaven on earth, but on the other hand, they generally are more expensive than amazon, so I usually shop either online or in a supermarket, which is terrible I know. What I do wish though is that there were more independent book shops in my local area, I think that if there was one in either my town or the nearest big town that I visit most weeks then I would probably buy more books there than I do at Waterstones. If pushed, I’d say Amazon (especially as I mainly read ebooks haha)

Movies. No specific reasons other than I enjoy movies more than TV. Unless it’s Suits, Suits is the best thing on TV, possibly ever.

5 books per week. I would KILL to read that many. 5 pages a day is far to few, I would hate to take 70 days to finish a 350 page book.

Be a professional reviewer, I think I’d be able to read more than if I was an author, I swear I remember one author saying she barely has any time to read since becoming an author and mother, so while I would love to be an author, I would rather be a reader, and therefore reviewer.

This is the most difficult. Choosing my top 20 past #3 would be hell on earth for my indecisive mind, as I’ve read so many great books, even ignoring that, Could I bear to give them up? I’m not a massive re-reader, but I like having that option, you know? On the other side of the coin, it’s only 20 books, and I read over 80 last year, so may get tedious. I think that wins out, so I’m picking Only read books I’ve never read before.

Book Seller. Every time I see an empty shop, I’m wondering what it would be like to make it a bookshop, and Simon asks ‘Shall we make that your bookshop Rachel?’ every time we pass one, which is mean really as I don’t think it will ever happen.
There is (may have been sold now) a pub in my town that is for sale, and in need of renovation, and I would love to convert it to a massive bookshop, possibly make a kind of book retreat since it was also a small hotel before. I’ve not been spending too much dreaming about the library hotel in New York, honest!

Only read my favourite genre, easy one, I do like other genres, but always go back to my favourite!

Ebooks. Not a completely easy choice because I love the beautiful covers, book smell and sometimes just holding a book (unless it’s a hardback, I’m not keen), but I also hate creasing spines by accident, any slight defect in the cover, especially at corners, any creases in pages and dust covers when I have hardbacks. However, ebooks save space in my much crowded flat, easy to fit in most of my bags and I can read with no light on, win-win.
