Rapid Fire Book tag 

E-book or physical book? – Physical, let’s get physical. 

Paperback or hardback? – both, although paperbacks hurt less when you drop them on your face. 

Online or in-store book shopping? Book shops are my crack but I do use the old interwebs as there are no bookshops near me (and Smiths doesn’t count).

Trilogies or series? – Depends on the book, some writers need a series to develop the story, others not so much.  

Heroes or Villians? – unreliable narrators. 

A book you want everyone to read? – Girls on Fire by Robin Wasserman.  Damn does she perfectly capture teenage girls and their crazy. 

Recommend an underrated author? – Tamora Pierce. Go, read everything she’s written. Do it now.  

The last book you finished? – Too Close for Comfort – not the best thriller I’ve read but ok. 

Weirdest thing you’ve used as a bookmark? – A dollar bill.  

Used books: Yes or no? – yes. 

Top three favourite genres? – Fantasy, crime thriller, literary fiction. 

Borrow or buy? – these days buy, but only because my library card won’t let me in and the librarians are now all robots. 

Character or plot? – you need both. 

Long or short books? – totally depends on the story. 

Name the first three books you think of – Danny the Champion of the World- Roald Dahl, The Bees – , The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde – Robert Louis Stephenson. 

Books that make you laugh or cry? – Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books – I can’t read them anywhere public, I laugh until I cry. 

Our world or fictional? – Fictional – our world is a mess and I need an escape. 

Audiobooks: yes or no? – I have an Audible account, I should really use it more…

Do you ever judge a book by its cover? – of course, we all do, whatever we claim. 

Book to movie or book to tv? – No.  Although Series of Unfortunate Events the series trumps the movie. 

A movie or tv show that you preferred to the book? – this has not happened. 

Series or standalones? – depends on my mood.
