I'm catching up on TMA and I refuse to believe that The Beholding/The Eye doesn't adore Jon and dislike Elias. No I won't explain why.

20-ish Questions: Book Edition

Tagged by the lovely @crispyjenkins <3

I’ve only just started getting back into the groove of reading again because med school sucked. ANYWAYS.

1. hardcover or paperback

I prefer paperback, mostly because they’re easier for me to hold when reading, lighter for transport, and they’re (usually) cheaper LOL

I’ll buy hardcover if I know I’ll love the book a lot since they’re more durable or I’m too impatient to wait for the paperback to release.

2. rent or buy

Always buy. I...didn’t realize you could rent books other than textbooks? LOL

3. reads in silence or reads with music

I’m like 80% of the time listening to music so that includes when reading!

4. standalone or series

Either! It’s been a while since I’ve read books outside of medschool though. Most of the ones I’ve read recently are standalones.

5. annotations or pristine pages

I’m like incapable of writing inside books. LOL I’ll add transparent sticky notes and tabs if I do want to make notes. Or I’ll make notes on my Kindle for e-books.

6. ebook or physical copy

I prefer physical copy.

However, considering I’ve been moving across the world and the US every 1-2 years for the past like...6-10? years and traveling a bunch, e-books are so much easier to transport, so I’ve been reading them more. And they’re often times cheaper and I had zero income with max debt. (Also this way, I can store my favorite fics onto my Kindle along with my favorite books ehehe)

All my physical copy books are currently at my parents’ house. :’(

7. dog ears or bookmarks

Bookmarks! Or whatever scrap of paper I have on hand LOL I don’t like folding my book pages...

8. mismatched series or complete set

A mismatched set would bother the HECK out of me....

9. cover matters or you don’t judge

Oh I totally judge a book by its cover LOL Presentation is important! But it’s not like a deal-breaker or anything. The summary/blurb and author’s writing style is always important too. But I have totally bought another copy of a book I already had just for a nicer cover.

10. lend books or keep them to yourself

I used to lend/exchange books with a friend in high school. Now most of my friends are docs/med students so no one has time to read ;~;

11. enjoys lit classes or despises them

Major mixed feelings. I loved reading (most) of the books we were assigned. I loved the creative assignments we got. What I didn’t like were writing essays. I got good grades and all and didn’t do poorly on them, but there was always something missing in my essays keeping them from like great vs good, according to my teachers. Turns out it was a cultural difference in presenting arguments, and so the Western structure of essay writing never jived with me even though all my formative schooling was in the US???? (NTS: I need to find that article explaining the difference between presenting arguments in the West vs the East. It had to do with like inductive vs deductive reasoning.)

So yeah, mixed feelings on lit class. I did avoid taking one of the AP English classes specifically because of the damn essays.

12. browses shops or orders online

I love browsing stores, but haven’t had any time for that in years, so mostly ordering online. Also COVID is rampant here so no exploring the nice-looking indie bookstores for a while. ;D;

13. reads reviews or goes in blind

Usually go in blind. Exceptions for recommendations from friends or what people might be saying about the books in my spheres of social media.

14. unreturned books or clean library record

Well, since I moved here, I’ve gotten a new library card! So far, a clean record. But considering COVID is rampant here, I’m sticking with ebook borrows right now so no unreturned books!

15. rereads or once was enough

Definitely rereads!!! Rereading JA now. I re-read Pride & Prejudice every 2-3 years btw. LOL

16. fanfic enthusiast or a stickler for canon

Considering I write fanfic? Fanfic enthusiast for sure! XD Sticking only to canon would be boring and so limiting!! And sometimes you just need that fix-it to glue your heart back together LOL Canon informs my writing, but I don’t 100% adhere to it!

17. deep reader or easily distracted

If I’m enjoying the book, I’m a deep reader and will literally sit there and finish the book. No breaks. No sleep. Which is also why I haven’t read much in the past few years LOL

18. must read the book before seeing the movie or order doesn’t matter

Order doesn’t particularly matter to me. I’m not a big stickler on movies staying 100% faithful to the book. But yeah also not a fan of movies changing details that didn’t need to be changed. What I don’t like is when movies change or don’t include what I find an important scene in the book. (Like the execution of [insert scene here] means so much to me and you just -- LEAVE IT OUT???)

19. neat bookshelves or messy bookshelves

My books are all over the place, but uuuh usually starts out neat and then gets messy as I accumulate more books LOL

20. skips ahead or resists temptation

I usually just read straight through. I have been burned by the endings of several fics and books though, so depending on how the story is going, I might peek at the last paragraph. Just to be safe.

21. reads aloud or in your head

I can’t even listen to audiobooks or podcasts most of the time unless I’m like building furniture or something alkdfjas so definitely only reading in my head.

22. guesses plot twists or never sees them coming

I don’t go out of my way to guess the twists? Like if the clues are there and I pick up on them, great. I just sit back and enjoy the story?

Tagging @kitsunekage88 @rinrinp42 @amillionstarsandyouchoosethisone and @turtletotem <3

No obligation to answer these of course! This one is also kind of long LOL

The Eye will do anything for it's Special Little Boy and Jon doesn't want anything to do with The Web.

@saunters-vaguely-downwards gave me the idea and I can never resist an idea from her (*˘︶˘*).｡*♡

I really want an AU where Jon Sims is just a cover for Jonny D'Ville as part of a bet with the other Mechanisms that he can be stranded on a planet and not commit war crimes. Or most other crimes.

The only reason he didn't kill all the Avatars that came after him is a burning desire to not lose.
