Really??? That's interesting! I enjoy reading from the male perspective...I guess cause it's normally so different from my own

Mishkat Pothiyawala wrote: "Both!"

I agree! I try to only buy my absolute favorite though. I'm running out of space :(

Ooooh! I loved Red, White, & Royal Blue too! I like how you describe d it..the tension. I like that too...it makes me want to read the rest of the story that much more.

I listened to that book on audiobook this year & it was amazing! I was really surprised by how many important themes & discussing it had in it. I didn't expect for it to be so impactful but also lighthearted.

Oh no! I'm a Sarah Dessen lover...and her books are standalones (but have aspects of each other...like the same setting). I really enjoyed all the ones I've read of hers! I've enjoyed Everything, Everything & Simon vs. the Homosapien's Agenda...& heard good things about Fangirl, The Sun Is Also A Star, & The Upside of Unrequited. Maybe try one of those out?

Kayla wrote: "Probably my favorite character. But if you told me the author was Brandon Sanderson. I would have dinner with him."

Haha, I'm not familiar with Brandon Sanderson...but it sounds like dinner with him would be full of conversation!

Ooooh! Any character in particular?

~TheLoverOf~ wrote: "me, it's enemies to lovers...because I prefer hating someone than starting to seeing each other more and time is ticking...in the end they love each other...I prefer that!"

I like that thought process! I prefer enemies to lovers too...something about that slow burn is so enticing!

Would you rather have a signed edition or first edition?

Would you rather only be able to read the first half of a book or the last?

Would you rather have all the time to read all the books you want or the money to buy all the books you want?

Would you rather forget all your favorite series and discover them all over again or remember all the details of every book you’ve ever read?

Would you rather live your favorite character’s worst nightmare or spend a day as your most hated fictional character?

Would you rather read a book with an annoying cliffhanger or one where your favorite character is killed off?

Would you rather read only 1 book in a year and remember everything or read 100 books & remember nothing?

Would you rather have someone ruin the ending of a book for you or never finish a book you were reading?

Would you rather have dinner with your favorite author or your favorite character?

Would you rather have a friend who loses your books, or one who dog-ears them?

Both are certainly important...emotional responses to books are so interesting & important to enjoying reading! I would more prefer a book that makes me laugh...if I had to choose. But I have favorite books in both categories!

Do you prefer long chapters or short chapters?
