8. Paperback or hardcover? Why?
Hmm. Yknow, looking at my shelf, the only hardcover romance I own is The Gentleman’s Guide. They dont really make them do they >:((
Visually speaking, I love hardcovers more bcs they are fancier yknow? More sturdy and look better on shelves. But for actual reading, I think I prefer paperbacks? Bcs I read usually while laying down and even holding up a paperback is too heavy for me sometimes (thats why kindle is a godsend) AND you can bend the paperbacks to read them easier, which you cant do with hardcovers. Plus I love the salad look a well-read paperback has, I think authors love seeing that :D If i were to ever get to meet one of my fave writers, I’d definitely want them to sign a well-read paperback :D
But in a perfect future where Im a working adult with spending money, I’d probably end up buying a hardcover version for pretty shelving and paperback for actual reading
22. Pro or anti e-readers? Why?
HARD PRO. I fucking love my kindle. While I adore the feel of paperback in my hands, kindle is just. so much better for me? Listen, you need two hands to read a book. You barely need anything to read a kindle. When laying down, I cant just put the kindle on the pillow next to my head and read without moving. You can have hundreds of books that take up no space. The battery lasts for months. You buy books from your bed and can read them immediatelly. E-readers are a godsend for disabled folks. I fucking love kindles and purists can go fuck themselves tbh
Also I put an adorable Yuri on Ice sticker on my kindle and its adorable but thats slightly irrelevant
39. Name one of your favorite childhood books
Well all my fave childhood books were old czech books but Im pretty sure they didnt make it out of here :D I mean nobody even knows them here. My fave was about this group of children who befriend a tram (yeah) and then do a huge stunt to raise money to buy the tram when they find out its about to be destroyed for iron (YEAH). ofc they win and buy off the tram and then the tram ends up being a special free tram for children that drives the kids around prague. It was a really cute book okay
OH I also used to adore Jules Verne’s books, esp The Mysterious Island, that one was my faaaave. The ultimate Verne crossover. Although at a certain point I got SO bored at the fact all his characters are old dudes.
46. What is your favorite thing to drink when you read?
I always loved carbonated water and english is a stupid language for this thing. Basicaly clear water with bubbles??????? fucking bless. I bought Sodastream for my dad for his bday few months ago and its a perfect thing and makes me drink soooooooooo much water. Bless water. I love me some nice nice water.
Although sometimes I like drinking milk tea (and bless the japanese for legit selling milk tea in bottles. I miss that)
