Book Tag: 7 Deadly Sins of Reading

Hey guys! How's everyone doing? I'm...tired. Won't lie. But I'm here anyways. It's book tag Thursday, and I chose the 7 Deadly Sins of Reading tag. It sounds really cool so...

Let's get into it!

1) Greed: What's your most expensive book and most inexpensive book?

Do dictionaries count? Because those are certainly expensive and I own quite a few... I'm so boring. I'm sorry, but translators gotta translate, you know? My most inexpensive ones are probably the 3 House of Night books by P.C. Cast I own. I paid $50 (Argentine pesos) for each one, which is like $3.50 us dollars. 

2) Wrath: What author do you have a love/hate relationship with?

Hmm, I think I'll go with R.S Grey. As I've said in a previous post, I absolutely adored Scoring Wilder, but then I was left quite unimpressed with The Summer Games. I haven't given up on her yet, though. Do you have any good recommendations? 

3) Gluttony: What book have you deliciously devoured over and over again, with no remorse whatsoever?

I think I have mentioned this, but I'm not a re-reader. I prefer reading new books. But if I had to, I would re-read The Hunger Games. In fact, I'm planning on doing so. I really enjoyed those books, so why not?

4) Sloth: What book have you neglected reading due to laziness?

Which one haven't I is the better question. I'm always lazy when it's time to pick a book up. I end up enjoying them... most of the time. So, I don't know why it's so hard for me. I have been postponing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for quite a while now. Don't ask why, because I don't even know.

5) Pride: What book do you most talk about to sound like an intellectual reader?

Well, any classic, really. Or any from my lit class at university. The most complicated book I've read is Rayuela by Julio Cortázar. His books are compulsory reads in my country. His novels and short stories demand a deep analysis. Whenever you read one, you have to pause every 5 minutes to look a term or a reference up. So, if you want to feel really stupid every 5 lines, read that book. You get bragging rights after you finish it ;)

6) Lust: What attributes do you find most attractive in male or females characters?

Sense of humor. Well, that was easy. For love interests, I like it when they're dark and moody but with a good hidden heart. #basic. And for best friends, I like like honesty. And, again a good sense of humor.

7) Envy: What books would you most like to receive as a gift?

I'd like to get the new illustrated Harry Potter books. All of them, when they get released. They are just SO PRETTY. But, there are so many other books I want too! I can't pick.

That was it! Hope you enjoyed it. Now I can finally go get my much needed rest.

I saw this tag on Lauren Reads YA and was originally created by BookishMalayza.

What did you think? Do you agree with any of my choices? If you could ask for any one book, what would you pick? Let me know.

3 Book Wishes

This is one of those days in which I don't know what to post. I have tons of ideas but I don't like any of them. #HardLife

Luckily, an angel posted some pretty good post ideas. Hence, this post. 

I present you: the Book Genie. He/She will grant us 3 book related wishes. No, you can't ask for 3 more wishes, you sneaky little... lovely person.

Here we go!

Wish number 1

Wow, this is harder than I expected. I have been staring at the screen for 10 minutes.

I've finally made up my mind. My first wish is to have all my book boyfriends come to life. What? No one said they should be realistic wishes. Yes, I'm basic like that. Of course, with this I also want them to be in contact with me. What would be the point of this wish if I didn't get to talk to them and potentially marry one? Wouldn't you want to have your all-time favorite male character as your bestie? I know I would.

Wish number 2

My next wish is for printers to start using wood-free paper. I did some research on this subject and it's possible. Let's be real here, physical copies will never go out of print, ebooks will never replace them. So, why don't we find a way to not harm trees (which take a really long time to grow back) and use some invasive plants instead. Here's some more info about it.

Wish number 3

World peace. Okay, this is not book related. How about: I want every author, reader, publisher, etc. to achieve what they're aiming for. Are you an author looking forward to self-publish a book? You got it. Are you a reader who wants to see more Danish main characters? You got it. I guess I would be granting other people some wishes. I'm so nice (not really.) As long as you're not hurting anyone else, I want everyone to get what they dream of. 

Well, that ended on a bright note. It's a lot more inspiring than I thought it would be.

All-right, see ya later!

What would you wish for? And, what do you think the genie would look like? I'm thinking of Whoopi Goldberg. Let me know!
