My very serious and not at all silly responses to your bookish questions

Honestly, there’s no further explaining of this post other than, I wanted to write a funny take on some book blogging questions. Enjoy my immense wit and sarcasm. Please laugh at my jokes.

How many books should I set my Goodreads goal to?

Susan*, you set your Goodreads goal to however many books you want! You be the champion of your own reading, you know your brain and you know how many books you can read. You also know if having a Goodreads goal is a good idea for you or if it will put too much pressure on you. You do you, Susan.

When is it too late to DNF a book?

One page before the end. The last page. The acknowledgements. Honestly, you DNF a book when you want to DNF that book! If you’re not loving the pages your reading, why are you still reading them? Put that book down and read my blog post about why it’s okay to DNF books!

Should I be annotating/writing in my book?

Again, Susan, you DO YOU! If you want to annotate your book, don’t let anyone stop you! Some people write all over their books, they draw in them, they highlight, they go nuts with a pen on those pages. Do you know why they do that? BECAUSE they own the book and it is theirs to choose what to do with. Please do not go writing in your library book though Susan, that would be bad. If you don’t want to annotate your books… then don’t.

Can I write a negative book review?

Sit down at the computer of yours, or with your phone, or a pen and paper. Now start the first line of the negative review. And now you’re doing it! You’re writing a negative review and not spontaneously combusting. You’re winning at life! BUT… in all seriousness, if you’re publishing a negative review, don’t tag the author in it. Because that’s just mean and they worked really hard on bringing their book baby to life.

Am I too old to read YA books?

By the searches of Google, the age you are no longer a young adult any more is 25. So obviously that means after 25 your eyes will burn out and your soul shall be condemned if you pick up a YA book. OR it doesn’t matter at all because we all love a good story and what makes a good story is down to your interests and passions. Read all the YA you want right up until your hundred and eleventh year!

Do I have to read the book before I watch the film?

Well, that depends, do you want to be known as a true fan or a fake lover of the fandom? I’M JOKING. Before anyone unsubscribes and reports me to the blogging police. Of course, you don’t need to read the book first. In some cases, I prefer to reverse the order. Such as when reading Game of Thrones, because having watched it, I feel better able to keep up with the characters and plot when reading it.

Okay, I’m all out of wit and sarcasm. I hope you enjoyed this post, it was quite fun to write!
