| Young Woman Reading a Book, Aleksandr Deineka, 1934 |
Reading the Last Page First: OUT
Though I sometimes browsed
Wikipedia to know how a story or a character would end, I never read the last
page before getting at the end.
Enemies to Lovers: IN
It's a cliche, I know, but I still
love it!😁
Dream Sequences: OUT
It often confuses me whether a
scene is really happening or just in a dream.
Love Triangles: IN
It adds the complication, isn't it?
Cracked Spines: OUT
It would be hard to hold the book conveniently.
Back to My Small Town: IN
I have no complaint as long as it's
necessary for the story.
No Paragraph Breaks: OUT!
A big no-no.
Multi-generational Sagas: IN
My favorite is Steinbeck's East of Eden.
Monsters Are Regular People: OUT
I'm no fan of fantasy.
Re-Reading: IN
I love re-visiting old favorites!
Artificial Intelligence: OUT
Nothing artificial, please!
Drop Caps: IN
It looks beautiful, so why not?
Happy Endings: IN
If not real happiness, at least a
hopeful one!
Plot Points That Only Converge at
the End: IN
Isn't that the point of a novel?
Detailed Magic Systems: OUT
Again, no big fans of fantasy
Classic Fantasy Races: OUT
For same reason as above.
Unreliable Narrators: IN
We have a chance to figure the
story out ourselves, or perhaps when the writer wants to emphasize a point.
Evil Protagonists: OUT
I would hate the story as well.
The Chosen One: IN
I love Harry Potter, at least 😉
When the Protagonist Dies: OUT
I love happy ending!
Really Long Chapters: IN
The sentences are more crucial.
French Flaps: IN
They are often charming, and I
just need to put it down while reading.
Deckled Edges: IN
They look vintage.
Signed Copies by the Author: IN
Though reading mostly classics make it impossible...
Dog-Earing Pages: IN
I do it all the time!
Chapter Titles Instead of Numbers:
IN
I rarely read them anyway 😋
That's it. If you wish to do it too, consider yourself tagged!
This is a fun one. I think I might have to do it myself ...probably not until April though. Thanks for the idea! And I loved reading all your answers. I agree with you on about half. ;D
ReplyDeleteI would love to see your answers! :)
DeleteI think my answers would be mostly OUT. French flaps, unreliable narrators and Multi-generational Sagas are definite INs
ReplyDeleteFrench flaps are adorable, right? And multi generational sagas provide fully entertaining stories!
DeleteI'll have a go at this too at some stage. Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your answers! 😉
