BOOKISH "THIS OR THAT" (PERSONALITY TEST)

1) Definitely a grand library
2) Using books marks. Dog eared pages bother me so much.
3) I don’t use either, but I’ll go with book Twitter.
4) Usually romance, but at the moment mystery/thriller. I’m getting bored with romance.
5) Antique book shops
6) French Rivera.
7) E-reader. I don’t have the patience for audiobooks.
8) Book reviews.
9) Typewriter.
10) Short story.
11) Both sound great, but reading by a window. I get too distracted outside.
12) Award winners, but niche picks are great, too!
13) Stand-alones (for the same reason)
14) Contemporaries, although I do love some classics.
Pronouns: they/them

A grand library in your dream house OR a small shelf and a library card?
Grand library. It's my dream to have one.

Dog-earing books OR using book marks?
Book marks now. Used to dog-ear for a while but I hate hurting books.

Bookstagram OR Book Twitter?
Not really sure? I follow a few authors on twitter but that's it.

Romance OR Mystery/Thriller?
Romamce, for sure, though I do like a cozy mystery sometimes.

Antique book shops OR book hand-me-down?
Can I say both?

Reading on a yacht in the French Rivera OR reading on the beach on the Amalfi Coast?
The yacht, definitely. Don't like the beach much.

E-Reader OR audiobook?
E-Reader. I don't have the attention span for audiobooks.

Book hauls OR book reviews?
Both, I guess?

Cursive with pen and paper OR typewriter?
Cursive. Even though I type, I like writing more.

Poetry OR Short Story?
Poetry, definitely. The language use is beautiful.

Reading by the window as it rains with the fire crackling OR summer reading in the garden to the sound of birds?
By the window as it rains, but without the fire? I'm in the land of perpetual heat. No need to add to that.

Award-winners OR niche picks?
Usually niche because I like odd stuff.

Series OR stand-alone?
Series. I always crave more.

Classics OR Contemporary?
Contemporary for fantasy, classic for mysteries.
