Ooh did a Book Riot quiz today~
(got this one from a recent JesseTheReader video)
I got:
Well... that's exactly it lol. Finish 1 book, buy 5 more books XD
I guess I could add some more that I think are my bookish red flags...
- I hate-read, because I rarely DNF books I've purchased (even if they are cheap/thrifted). To give the book 0.5-2 stars has been one of the few things that motivates me to finish a book. ✿ No worries, I don't really believe there are that many hidden gems out there so I don't feel like I'm missing out (positive pessimist here). I consider myself pretty picky with what I start to read so there's less regret regarding that.
- I used to dog-ear my books but now I seldom do it after "being scolded" by one of the characters in Diana Wynne Jones' "Fire and Hemlock"... (I don't remember the exact words and scene though)
- I... read in the bathroom. I finished many books through this method (even during reading slumps) so leave me be XD ✿ Good(?) news - some books I've soft-DNF-ed ended up here~
- I don't really consider this a red flag but most avid readers might consider so - I don't mind books with movie/TV drama covers :P ✿ I grew up watching/reading(?) some of Qiong Yao's TV dramas/books and let me tell you, some of her [first edition?] books have those covers [Examples in this blog: HZGG & HZGG2]. Totally not weirded out by them. I don't feel as much prejudice as the others towards them.
- Also, not sure if this is a red flag because it sounds more like an eccentric habit. Though I don't do it for all. I am friends with spoilers! That doesn't mean I'm okay with being spoiled all the time - I want it to be on my own terms. I sometimes read ahead, jump around to read spoilers...& flirt with spoilers XD
