“What makes me pick up a Book” Tag

Good morning!

Time for another tag ~ this one was found on Jeimy’s blog while bloghopping, and I liked it so I wanted to play along too 😄

---

 

1. Do you judge a book by its cover?

Not really, if a book has a prettier cover, I will tend to want to read it versus a book that has a plain “bleh” cover.. BUT I give more importances to the title and the synopsis to catch my eye — although it CAN happen, it’s rare that I get it only for a pretty cover.

 

2. Focusing on just the cover, what attracts you to pick it up?

It’s quite various.. I love colorfuls/sploshs of colors, covers with different textures (raised letters, un-even pages, different papers textures), universe-looking covers (When the stars lead to you, No one here is lonely, etc.), retro/minimalist covers (Kissing Lessons, The nerdy & the dirty, etc.) just to name a few.

 

3. Do you read the synopsis first, or do you prefer to go in knowing nothing about the book?

Being a mood reader, I absolutely need to know when i’m getting into, as it must fit onto the current mood i’m feeling 😅 or else I won’t get very far..

 

4. Do you have any auto-buy authors?

Thoses seems to change with time.. Younger it used to be Guillaume Musso, Now it’s Alice Oseman or Ruth Ware.

 

5. Are you more likely to buy a book if it has specific elements/themes?

Definately! Any Dachshunds involved, organ donation/transplant, references to pop culture/geeky things are the ones coming to my head currently.

 

6. Do you ever read a book that has generally negative reviews just to form your own opinion on it?

Generally speaking, there’s a lot of books that I like that have mostly negative reviews (In a dark dark woods always come to mind) so i’m not particularly worried of that – sometimes, depending on what the blogger’s unliked elements were, it might even push me to want to read it even more!

 

7. Do you ever buy a book just because another booktuber/blogger has talked about it a lot?

Oh yeah.. I have done that quite alot. To name a few; My heart and other black holes, Emergency Contact, Letters to the lost and Radio Silence.

 

8. Is there anyone who’s book recommendations you always trust?

My friends Marie @ Drizzles & Hurricanes, Sophie @ Beware of the Reader generally have the same tastes in book as me; and while I feel like there’s more than theses girls, I just can’t think of anybody else at this current moment 😅

 

 

Feel free to consider yourself tagged if you wanna jump in aswell!

Who has your back for reviews?
Is there any specific themes that are a instant-buy for you ?
