![]() ![]() I will read anything that catches my attention. The first one, although the second one often happens. ![]() Would you rather jump on board with a book series and wait to see if it gets traction or wait for a successful book series to be brought to your attention? It really does depend though, so both are good under the right circumstances. The same is true of the other methods, sometimes those little hints or ‘drip feed’ can draw you into the world more slowly and organically and that can be great, but other times it can be too sparse or confusing. Other times, it is too clumsy and can break you out of the narrative. Sometimes, info dumps are great, and if done right they haul you straight into the world, and sometimes it is nice to get that knowledge of the world all at once early on so that you know what is going on. It really depends on the book/writing style. Would you prefer info dump on a world/magic system to a drip-feed technique? If it was just a plain book under the jacket though… then the paperback would get it. If it did, then I would sacrifice the jacket – they can be a pain anyway. Neither? If I really had to choose one, it would depend on if the hardback also had the image underneath the dust jacket. Would you rather crack the spine of a Paperback book or ruin a hardback’s dust jacket? However, I am not against e-book and I have been reading quite a few this year, I just find it takes me a little longer to get through the book, and I’ve lost count of the number of times I have tried to go back and ended up skidding through a dozen pages rather than one or two. Hardbacks I love because they’re beautiful, but they’re also heavy, and years ago I managed to give myself a black eye with the hardback of Order of the Phoenix, so I’ve been a bit wary of them since. I’m dyslexic, and I find it easier to read print, rather than digital, especially as it’s easier to flick back to parts that my brain skips over. ![]() Would you rather read from a hardback, paperback or E-book? ![]() This was fun – although some of the questions were just plain mean! I was challenged by The Swordsmith to do a Would You Rather: Book Edition. ![]()
