This or that book survey
Jun. 3rd, 2017 11:29 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
glacier_kittyHardback or paperback: Either, unless I'm traveling, then paperback so it can fit in my bag and stuff lol
Borrow or buy: Buy..one time I borrowed a book and wanted a copy, and didn't see another for like eight or nine YEARS. I was SO happy when I finally found a copy at the bookstore haha
Fantasy or Sci-Fi: Fantasy, but sci-fi like The Martian can be good too
Love-Triangle or love at first sight: Bleh, give me adventure, not annoying romance drama :P
Wall shelves or bookcases: Bookcases, though wall shelves might be more practical if you have a lot of books lol
Bad plot with good characters or good plot with bad characters: Good plot with bad characters, maybe..at least I'd enjoy the plot :P
Harry Potter or Percy Jackson: Harry Potter..I've never read Percy Jackson, even though one book takes place on Hubbard Glacier haha:
How awesome is that cover??
Booklr or Bookstagram: I don't know what either of those are..
Contemporaries or Fantasy: Contemporaries maybe..I don't read much fantasy anymore..
English books or books in your native language: English is my native language :P
Buy in a bookshop or buy online: Both, though going in a bookstore is more exciting lol
Amazon or Book Depository: Amazon..never been to the other one
Buy because of the cover or because of the description: Book covers will definitely draw me in, but ultimately, it's the description that counts. <-- Yeah, pretty much. If the cover looks exciting, I'm more likely to pick it up lol
Alphabetical shelves or colour coordinated: Alphabetical..at home they're somewhat by subject though..Antarctic/polar books together, series together, etc
Different sized books or matching sizes: Whatever, it doesn't matter if I love the book and want to own it lol
Wait to marathon a series or read as they’re released: Depends..if I come across a new series I might read a bunch at once, otherwise just as they're released
Movie or TV adaptations: I'm probably more likely to watch a movie, unless it's like Game of Thrones or something..
Reading indoors or outdoors: Indoors is more cozy :P
Coffee or Tea: I don't really like either..
Bookmarks or random objects to mark your page: Bookmarks..it is fun finding random objects in books though (one time I found a penny :P)
Dog-earing or bookmarks: Bookmarks
Be your favourite character or be their best friend: Hmm..depends on the book..like it would be awesome to be Hermoine in Harry Potter, but I definitely wouldn't want to be Katniss from The Hunger Games
Physical or e-book: Physical! E-books just aren't the same..
Read in bed or on a chair: In bed, the best place to read :D
Audio book or e-book: Audio book, but only if it's The Worst Journey in the World. :P Audio books usually drive me crazy, since I can read faster than they can talk (it was so painful in school..I just wanted to move on and the narrator would be speaking sooo sloooowww. Sometimes I read ahead lol)
Series or stand-alones: Both
Reading in the winter or reading in the summer: Anytime!!
OMG so Ryan came up behind me and said "Heather!" and when I turned around he was holding a dead rabbit Greyboy had killed! That was quite a start to the morning LOL. He then proceeded to skin it and said we're having it for dinner. :P Ryan said Greyboy was very proud of himself haha (he took a video showing Greyboy going under the house to hide it from Abby, who was right behind him :P)
"In photography, the golden hour (sometimes known as magic hour, especially in cinematography) is a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky"
Umm..that MIGHT happen here, but I'm not waking up at 3:25 AM to find out haha. While Googling that though, I stumbled across the weirdest part of the Internet I've ever seen:
"antarctica isnt a continent. it is an ice ring. you will NEVER see 24hrs sun. the videos they show of 24hrs in antarctica are actually in Alaska. some of them even use fake sun CGI"
"Nobody has ever been to space"
"This flat earth model is making more and more sense by the day. Thank you so much for this!"
???!?????!!!!!!
WTF I CAN'T EVEN. OMG. Yikes, I'm staying as far away from that part of the Internet as possible D:
