Thank you to my baby @snow-blower for this tag! Tried to answer with as many english books as possible. Don’t read a lot in my native language anymore but as a kid, everything I read was in swedish
❥ A romance trope that will always have you giggling and kicking your feet?
I’d by lying if I said anything but friends to lovers. It’s just so GOOD and the most realistic in my opinion. Good friendships make the best relationships! And the “he fell first” trope because I love yearning
❥ A book you’d fight someone over (good or bad)?
EVERYONE READ THE TWO “THE MONK AND THE ROBOT” BOOKS BY BECKY CHAMBERS RIGHT. NOW. EVERYONE TREAT YOURSELVEEEES
❥ A book you’d marry, one you’d kiss, and one you’d throw into the sea?
I’m gonna do this with series, cause I adore book series. Marry Percy Jackson, kiss Anne of Green Gables, and spit on and burn Harry Potter. Love the story, but JK Rowling is a right cunt. You know fanfiction authors do it better anywayyyy!!!
❥ What's a book that absolutely ruined you in the best way?
Maybe not the best way, if you ignore the fact that I like tragedies, but the Fault in Our Stars? Yeah I was completely destroyed, bawling my eyes out at the end. One of the few books that have ever managed to get that reaction!
❥ A book you judged by the cover... and were either very right or tragically wrong?
I read half of Icebreaker because I thought it would be a cute Hockey/Ice Skating romance. I was half right. It was not CUTE when they fucked in every other chapter with little to no plot development after their first time. Had to let that one go…
❥ It's life or death, choose one: paperback, epub, or audio book.
Paperback, definitely! I can’t read anything that isn’t analogue and in my hand. The others are too abstract and I get distracted.
❥ If you could re-write any book you've read, which would it be and why?
The Dead Poets Society book! It was written after the movie came out and it is AWFUL. I know I could capture the essence of the movie so much better. It’s my favourite movie for gods sakes! Maybe I’m overconfident? Don’t think so though…
❥ What’s your “this could have been solved with therapy” book?
The Metamorphosis by Kafka. I did not enjoy this book like.. at all. My dude had the worst depression ever and I did not manage to read between the lines. Felt pretty fucking stupid when I finished it and everyone was raving about the “best book ever” and it being “so deep” like dude, take an ibuprofen and a power nap and stop BEING A BUG?!?
❥ Be Honest. How many books have you actually read this year?
Oh, I’m not sure. Like… 10? But I’ve only finished 7, the others were too dull. Working on 2 right now.
