I was tagged by Joey @ Thoughts and Afterthoughts. Thank you for tagging me!

One: Reading on the couch or on the bed?

Bed. My house is too busy for the sofa. I always read something before I go to sleep. I shouldn’t because if I like the story too much I wouldn’t go to sleep until I finish it. (Damn you, Captive Prince for messing up my sleep schedule…)

Two: Male main character or female main character?

I don’t care. Just make them well developed with an interesting plot and I’m good

Three: Sweet snacks or salty snacks when reading?

I don’t eat while reading. But maybe tangy sweets?

Four: Trilogies or quartets?

Depends. Actually, I don’t mind. But there seems to be a bigger surge of books as trilogies despite some of them don’t really needing them?

Five: First person point of view or third person point of view?

I’m a bigger fan of third person. But it depends on the story.

Six: Reading at night or in the morning?

I plan my day so that I usually leave myself an hour or so at night before I sleep to read. (As mentioned in Q1, I should stop doing that)

Seven: Libraries or bookstores?

Libraries. I’m broke AF.

Eight: Books that make you laugh or make you cry?

Not many books have made me cry so books that will make me laugh.

Nine: Black book covers or white book covers?

Both, with a leaning towards black, but I like simple minimalistic cover.

Ten: Character driven or plot driven stories?

DEPENDS. But I think I’m more towards plot driven stories.

The One Where Eddie Won’t Go – a character I wish would just go away:

Seth Gordon from The Foxhole Court. He was just an ill-tempered idiot and I hated him. (tbh I disliked anyone who was horrible to Nicky and, technically, he did go away in the end but the reason why was actually really sad)

The One Where Ross and Rachel Take A Break – favorite break up scene:

Maia and Jordan from The Mortal Instrument – lmao I don’t even remember if they break up or not but they were pretty crappy because Jordan was an abusive pile of crap who will always be, in my eyes, the boy who attacked Maia, not someone who truly loved her. I’m not a fan of Cassandra Clare,but killing off Jordan was one of the best things she’s ever done.

The One With All The Kissing – a book with lots of kissing:

This just made me realise how little kissing there are in the books I’ve read. I think I’ll have to choose Carry On. But that doesn’t even have much kissing.

The Last One – favourite series finale:

The King’s Men, the final book in the All For The Game series. Even though so much was left unanswered in the series like Aaron’s trial, I just really liked the fact Neil Josten was finally getting the happy ending that he deserved.

The One With a Blackout – a scene I’d like to forget:

The amount of AUs I’ve read where Fred Weasley doesn’t die is unreal…..

The One Where Chandler Can’t Cry – a book that did not make you as emotional as others:

After You, the sequel to Me Before You. I loooved MBY but I just didn’t feel like After You was a worthy sequel and as heart breaking as the first was.

The One Where Joey Doesn’t Share Food – a book you won’t ever lend:

Umm, all my books are on my Amazon Fire and I need it every day for college work and reading so I don’t think I would lend it. I don’t have many physical copies as I used to but I don’t mind lending.

The One With the Thumb – a recent read that you would give two thumbs up to:

The Foxhole Court (mainly it’s third book, The King’s Men)

The One With the Ick Factor – a book with a pet peeve:

Rather than choosing a book, I think I’ll pick Insta-love as it’s a trend many authors tend to use. I don’t think I have the time to launch into on how I hate this trend so I’ll spare you all the 5,000 word essay.

The One With The Lesbian Wedding – favorite LGBTQ book couple:

• Aristotle and Dante from Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
• Achilles and Patroclus from The Song of Achilles

I’m not nominating this time because I’m writing this at like two in the morning and I don’t think I can keep my eyes open long enough to nominate a couple but if you would like to please link back in the comments so I can read your answers!
