Today I thought I would do another book tag! They are always so much fun so I did a little hunting and found The Book Snob Tag.  This was originally created by Tia and all the books over on Booktube. So check it out if not want. 

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

90% of the time. If it’s a young adult book then there is a very high chance that I will read the book before I watch the movie. However, if it’s something like a classic or crime novel, then most likely not. I’m not a massive crime reader, but I love watching crime movies and TV shows. There are also times when I have no idea that it’s a book to movie adaptation. That has happened a couple of times and it’s not until after that I realise. 

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?

A few years ago this would have been an easy answer for me. It would have been physical books. However, now I have to think about it hard. There are a lot of romance books that I can’t get in physical form – or they cost a hell of a lot of money. So right now at this moment, it would be ebooks – because then I also don’t need to worry about finding space in my shelves for them.

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

Maybe? I don’t know. Would I prefer a person that loves reading? Yes, for sure. Would it be the be-all, end-all if the person I want to marry doesn’t read no? If they hated reading and didn’t like that I read as much as I do? Then they can go away. 

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?

Non-fiction. I don’t read much of it now so it won’t make a massive difference for me. However, I do love learning about history so I think that is where it would take a nosedive for me. But I guess I can just watch more documentaries if I want. 

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

Why are these questions so hard? At this present moment, romance. There is so much variety and you can find anything that you want. From fantasy romance to historical, then we have some of my favourites like MC and military. There is just so much! 

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

Romance again for this one. I don’t think I need to talk about this too much, but romance has always had people turn their noses down to it. It hasn’t changed in the whole time I’ve been blogging and reading it and sadly I don’t think it will change much. 

I love romance, it’s always a genre that I have been drawn too. And over the last few years, it’s mainly what I have been reading. It’s so easy to fall in love with the characters, the story and all the tropes.

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

Yes, yes and yes. If you don’t know I work in a book store so I talk about what I’m reading and what I read all the time. And I can’t tell you how many times I get this look of disgust or horror, especially when I say I read young adult or romance.  I am always so hesitant to say what I like, but you know what I love what I read and I don’t want to hide away from it.
