  • Typical Books EP127 - Booktube TAG - How Do You Read A Book

    The How Do You Read A Book Tag is an original tag by Julie at The Hungry Bookworm! A very thoughtful tag is was so happy to be tagged in! 

    ~ The Questions ~  

    1. How do you go into reading a book? Read reviews? Spoilers?

    2. Do you take a book by its face value?
    3. Do you read a book as the author intended?

    4. As a reader or reviewer do you read a book differently knowing you are going to review it? Do you venture into other genres to review?  This is an open tag so feel free to do it as well, and let Julie and I know when you have so we can watch along. #howdoyoureadabook   If you have read this far, since I don't have a community tab yet I want to note I have no lipstick on here for forgetful reasons - if I looked washed out, that is entirely why!

    5) Do you have a favourite place you like to go to when looking for second-hand books?
    6) Hardback or Paperback, do you have a preference?
