Mini-Challenge 2 from Nyx Book Reviews

Physical book or eBook? Physical Book. Nothing beats the feel and smell of a paper book.

Paperback or Hardcover? Paperback. Hardcovers are so unwieldy.

Reality or Make-believe? Reality.

Adult or Young-Adult? Adult.

Dog ears or Bookmarks? BOOKMARKS!!! Dog earing is a sacrilege.

Breaking the spine or Barely open the book? As much as I would like to say barely open, I probably should say break the spine. I like it when a book looks like it’s been read.

Tea or Coffee? Coffee in the morning and tea the rest of the time.

Reading in bed or On the couch? Bed. My couch is the most uncomfortable thing on the planet.

Series or Standalone? Series. Especially historical romance series.

Original or TV Adaptation? Original

Defy motion sickness or Audiobooks? Defy motion sickness. I am from NYC. I can read a book while crossing Broadway. I finished One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest while crossing Times Square. I’m a pro.

Author crushes or Who-was-that-guy-again? I am terrible with names so probably who was that guy.

Interview or Guest post? If I have read the book, I like interviews. If I haven’t, probably a guest post.
