Fall Tag - 2016

"Don’t be morbid. Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."

-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

I love tags so I decided to do one! Found here!

1) The smell of pumpkin guts or rotting leaves? Rotting leaves, makes me think of fall for sure.

2) Sweet or salty pumpkin seeds? Salty pumpkin seeds. I have never had sweet pumpkin seeds nor even heard of them.

3) Store bought or pumpkin patch pumpkins? Either. I rarely buy pumpkins and I can't remember if I've ever even been to a pumpkin patch! LOL

4) Wool or knit sweaters? Definitely knit. Wool is way too itchy.

5) Halloween party or exploring haunted places? Halloween party.

6) Candy corn or mellowcreme pumpkins? I had to look up mellowcreme pumpkins, but when I saw the picture I knew what they were! I'd have to choose mellowcreme pumpkins then; they were always my favorite between that and candy corn.

7) Apple cider donuts or pumpkin donuts? Apple cider donuts for sure!

8) Apple pie or pumpkin pie? Apple pie. Not a fan of pumpkin-tasting anything.

9) Scary costume or something silly? If I had to choose between these two, scary, but if I was dressing up, I wouldn't be doing either of these.

10) Still, silent sights or rainy, windblown ones? Rainy, windblown ones. I find them relaxing.

11) Hocus Pocus or Halloweentown? Hocus Pocus. I was a bit too old for Halloweentown when it came out.

12) Witches of ghosts? Witches.

13) Raking leaves or climbing trees? Neither. Raking leaves is a chore and climbing trees is something kids do.

14) Ouija boards or ghost stories around the campfire? Ghost stories around campfire. I love campfires.

15) Frankenweenie or The Corpse Bride? Neither. I've never seen The Corpse Bride. I saw an older version of Frankenweenie when I was little and always thought it was weird.

16) October or November? I like October, but I would choose November because of Thanksgiving. Especially this year because I will be in New York! Also, November is closer to Christmas and that is my absolute favorite holiday!

17) Black cats or owls? I like both.

18) Fireplace or candlelight? Fireplace. It's so cozy and comforting.

19) Monster movies or the classic novels? I don't watch monster movies, so I think I'd rather read the classic novels.

20) Carve or paint pumpkins? I can't remember the last time I carved a pumpkin. I think painting them would be fun!

21) Worst thing you've ever gotten trick-or-treating? I had to look up the name. They're called Peanut Butter Kisses. Cheap, nasty candy.

22) What did you dress up as a kid? The usual: bunny, cat, witch, princess, angel, cheerleader, devil etc...

23) What are you dressing up this year if you're dressing up? Not dressing up this year.

That's it for the tag! If anyone would like to do it, I would love to know your answers!

Would You Rather: Book Edition (Book Tag)

I decided to do this Book Tag I found on Youtube...

Would you rather...

1. Read only trilogies or stand alones ? Probably Trilogies. I love books that are in a series and I think I would get more tired of reading stand alones.

2. Read only female or male authors? Considering most of my books are by female authors, I suppose I would choose female.

3. Shop at Barnes & Noble or Amazon? This is hard because I love going to bookstores, but Amazon is always cheaper in price. If I had to choose, I would pick Amazon because I do buy a lot more online than I do at an actual bookstore. I rather spend less money and get more books.

4. All books become movies or TV shows? Movies definitely. More books would be best suited as movies because you can only stretch out a TV show adapted from a book so far.

5. Read 5 pages per day or 5 books per week? 5 books a week even though that's completely impossible for me. It would take forever for me to read through my TBR pile only reading 5 pages a day. It already takes me long enough!

6. Be a professional reviewer or author? Considering I don't review books, I'd choose author. I've actually contemplated writing a book.

7. Only read your top 20 favorite books over and over or always read new ones that you haven't read before? Always read new ones. So far, I haven't wanted to reread anything I've read.

8. Be a librarian or book seller? Librarian. I love old, beat-up books. Plus, there's just something nice about a library.

9. Only read your favorite genre, or every genre except your favorite? Favorite genre. If I chose to read everything but my favorite, then it would be hard to not read my favorite. Technically, I don't even have a favorite at the moment.

10. Only read physical books or eBooks? Physical. I love having actual copies of books, holding them in my hands and seeing them on my bookshelf. I've never read eBooks and have no interest in ever doing so.
