How I Read Tag

Hi guys!!

So I'm back with another book post and this time I'm doing the 'How I Read' tag. Hope you enjoy - let's go!

How do you find out about new books to read?

Well, I watch a lot of BookTube (a community of YouTubers who basically just talk about books - I definitely recommend it) so most of the books on my TBR right now are from there. I also read a lot of books from the Carnegie Medal listings - which is something that I'd really recommend if you're stuck on what to read next because the books on there are amazing - so I'm never stuck on what to read next. Ever.

How did you get into reading?

I know it sounds super cheesy, but I can't remember ever not being into reading. I was always top of the class for reading and I always had a book with me that was often advanced for my age. I always loved reading. Always. I never wasn't. I know that most people would say things like 'Harry Potter got me into reading' or 'I used to be really negative about reading but then I realised I really liked it' but I was just always into it.

How has your taste in books changed?

When I was younger, I used to only read contemporary books written in the first person, mostly Jacqueline Wilson, but now I mostly read YA fantasies or dystopian, as well as some contemporaries.

How often do you buy books?

Not often at all! I am seriously broke so I rely very heavily on libraries (God knows what I'll do if my library card fails or something...). I honestly buy books perhaps once every 6 months so this question isn't very interesting. Sorry.

How did you get into book blogging?

I've only just started! But I suppose I was inspired by all the BookTubers I watched. I've always wanted to do something like that but I can't have a YouTube channel so I guess this is second-best :)

How do you react when you don't like the end of a book?

I don't really do anything extravagant. I just kind of feel disappointed, put the book away and go to bed.

How often do you take a sneak-peek at the ending?

I sometimes take a peek at the last sentence of a book if I get bored whilst reading it and need a little extra hype to continue reading it. It doesn't really really reveal much though so I don't feel too bad about it.

So I hope you enjoyed this reading tag! I certainly enjoyed making it and am really excited to make more posts!

Happy reading!
