Book Snob Tag

Stolen from Booktube.   

Questions:

1. Adaptation Snob: Do you always read the book before you see the movie?

Nope. I am having a hard time wording my answer to this question. If I notice a book is being adapted it's because I've already read it, not the other way around. I'm not sure that makes sense. I'm not very up-to-date on my book to movie adaptations.

2. Format Snob: You can only choose 1 format in which to read books for the rest of your life. Which one do you choose: physical books, ebooks, or audiobooks?

Physical. I just can't seem to remember to use, my e-reader, or to keep it charged.

I have to be doing something super non-thinky to listen to audiobooks. 3. Ship Snob: Would you date or marry a non-reader?

The husband reads (more, or at least faster, than I do) but almost exclusively fantasy, only e-books, and mostly at work on his lunch break (when he didn't work from home.) He doesn't go to the library, geek out at bookstores, or do any book nerd things. Sometimes I forget he actually does read. it's a little annoying now that I think about it. The kids totally take after me though :)

If I'm ever thrown into the dating swamp again, it would be nice to have someone my age to share book stuff with...

4. Genre Snob: You have to ditch one genre - never to be read again for the rest of your life. Which one do you ditch?

Fantasy. At least high fantasy. Just not my thing, and I've tried. I even liked a few, but if I have two books and one has swords in it, I'll pick the swordless one every single time. Also, Why do they all have to be epically long series? Is there even such a thing as a stand alone fantasy? 5. Uber Genre Snob: You can only choose to read from one genre for the rest of your life. Which genre do you choose?

Really?  Mystery/thriller I guess.

6. Community Snob: Which genre do you think receives the most snobbery from the bookish community?

I was going to say Romance (don't get me started) but then I thought about it, and it's probably YA. YA is an age group, not a genre (trying not to go off on a rant here...) The current trends in the YA industry are not helping the situation. 7. Snobbery Recipient: Have you ever been snubbed for something that you have been reading or for reading in general?

Yes, reading in general. And I know I do the same thing with people who don't read, or know what a library is, so it goes both ways...

In conclusion, yes, I am a book snob. And proud of it. Is anyone really surprised?
