The Bookaholics And Filmaholics Tags - #AmReading + #AmWatching
Never mind Bookaholics and Filmaholics... I might need to go to a tagaholics' support group. I might be slightly addicted to these things. Haha! Anyway...
While doing some of the other book tags I've done recently - the two from the end of December, and the one from Tuesday - I spotted this one, and thought I'd grab it to do today. I've also made a movie version of it, just because I can. If you want to play along with either version, please feel free to do so, either in the comments section of this post, or on your own blog. I'd love to see your answers!
OK, here's the book version first:
1. What do you like about buying new books?
The anticipation of not knowing until I start reading it what the story will be like. Will it be exciting? Will I like the characters? I just don't know, and am always excited to find out.
Plus, I love the smell of new books. Shame the smell only comes with print ones.
2. How often do you buy new books?
At least a few times a month. More if funds allow for it, or there's a new release I've been holding on to money for.
3. Bookstore or online book shopping – which do you prefer?
Online is easier for me, since I can browse myself. However, you can't beat the smell of a good bookshop. Even if I can't read them any more, I can still enjoy the smell of new books!
4. Do you have a favourite bookshop?
I get most of my books from Smashwords, Amazon, and Audible, but I wouldn't call any of them a favourite. Just the most convenient, especially since I mostly buy eBooks or audio downloads for my Kindle these days. Borders used to be my favourite store, but they closed down. Waterstones is a nice one to hang out in though, even if their audio book selection often seems to be lacking in variety. They're great for that bookish smell at least.
5. Do you pre-order books?
Not usually. I've done it a couple of times, but mostly I just wait until they're out.
6. Do you have a monthly book buying limit?
Yes. It's essential, because otherwise I'd just buy every book I see that I want, especially since having a Kindle means I don't have to worry so much about finding space for them. What the limit is though depends on what else is happening that we might need money for.
7. How big is your wishlist?
I've got over 4000 books on my Goodreads to-read shelf. So... Pretty big.
8. Which three books from your wishlist do you wish to own NOW?
Just three? Oh, no! I can't pick just three! There are so many books, and I want all the books!
OK, now here's the movie version:
1. What do you like about buying new movies?
The same thing I like about buying new books: the anticipation of not knowing how good the movie may or not be.
2. How often do you buy new movies?
It depends what new ones are coming out that I badly want, and what free money I have. I get a new DVD at least every few months though, often more frequently than that. Not as frequently as I get a new book though.
3. In store or online movie shopping – which do you prefer?
Online shopping is easier, and what I generally do. More because I can browse myself than anything.
4. Do you have a favourite shop for your movie buying?
Most of my DVDs come from Amazon, but we also go to HMV sometimes.
5. Do you pre-order movies?
Sometimes, especially if there's a new release I've been desperate to see.
6. Do you have a monthly movie buying limit?
Yes. But what it is varies, since my movie buying limit each month is whatever's left after other things have been dealt with, and I've brought the books I "have to" buy. Well, apart from when I've been waiting for a certain movie to be released, because then I'll often buy it before I buy any books.
7. How big is your wishlist?
Not quite as long as the book version, but it's pretty long. I've got a word document that's a little more than a dozen pages long, and I'm not even sure all the movies I want are listed on it.
8. Which three movies from your wishlist do you wish to own NOW?
The second "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" movie, "Goosebumps 2" and "The Nutcracker" movie.
