Book Blogs or Book YouTubers Didn’t Influence Me Into Reading

The thing with this post is that anything that I’ve found on my own without influence from anyone online is that I enjoy it a whole lot more than when someone suggests it.  

I’m not saying that all books I’ve read that book youtubers have suggested is bad, I’ve found some good books in amongst the awful.

For instance. I adore The Great Gatsby but it’s not on the list because in someway it was influenced by a booktuber.  She raved about another book, and it was on a special deal and I picked up two other books including The Great Gatsby 

So for me I either will at some point pick up a book that someone online as recommended but it will be years down the line and it will more than likely be from a thrift store 

• Anything by Dorothy Koomson 
• Matched Trilogy
• The Devil Wears Prada
• Safe Haven
• The Help
• One Day
• To Kill A Mockingbird 
• Any of my books by Jacqueline Wilson
• Harry Potter Series

Book Snob

I’ve not don’t a tag in so long. I have so many as drafts on my phone, just haven’t uploaded or published any in so long. When I saw this one I thought it would be a fun one to do. 

1. Adaptation Snob: Do you always read the book before you see the movie?

- I want to say yes, but there have been a few times when I’ve gone to my dads house and we’ve watched the movie before I’ve read the book. If I am being honest two of those movies I’m glad that I watched before I read the books because with The Help, I was struggling to read the book and when I saw the movie I got into the book a lot more, and 

2. Format Snob: You can only choose 1 format in which to read books for the rest of your life. Which one do you choose: physical books, ebooks, or audiobooks?

- Physical books. If I can find the post I’ll link it, but I love physical books a lot more than ebooks or audiobooks. I love holding actual books in my hand. 

3. Ship Snob: Would you date or marry a non-reader?

- I would but they’d have to understand that I’m such a book person and I love reading. 

4. Genre Snob: You have to ditch one genre - never to be read again for the rest of your life. Which one do you ditch?

- Dystopian. As in The Lunar Chronicles, The Mortal Instruments kind of dystopian. I struggled a lot with that. Even though classic books are right up there, I like more classics than dystopian books. 

5. Uber Genre Snob: You can only choose to read from one genre for the rest of your life. Which genre do you choose?

- What ever genre Dorothy Koomson writes. That woman literally has my whole heart.  

6. Community Snob: Which genre do you think receives the most snobbery from the bookish community?

- Vampires and Werwolf’s. I know it’s not a genre in the sense of most genres but it’s it own genre, and you either love it or hate it. And I absolutely hate it. I don’t mind if it’s in a book and there’s so much more going on within the book but as a whole where it’s a massive part I can’t deal with it. 

7. Snobbery Recipient: Have you ever been snubbed for something that you have been reading or for reading in general? 

- When people find out that I dislike The Notebook they just freak out. It’s almost as if I have a million heads and I’ve just lost them all. But I really don’t like the book.
