#ReadingPreferences

It all ends with happiness or sorrow

Books have the power to leave us feeling a range of emotions, but what kind of ending do you prefer? Do you love a feel-good, happy ending or a more bittersweet, sad conclusion? Or does it depend on the story? Share your preference and let’s see which ending reigns supreme!

I'm doing a 30-day engagement challenge with personal questions. The question of the day is: What's your favourite genre to read and why?

Sadly I engage in only three genres, I like to open up to new genres, though I just can't seem to focus. I have ADHD. and my brain is really picky. there are some fonts, topics and voices I just can seem to read.

One is literary contemporary fiction, but always on the more funny side and, above all, short stories. I love Miranda July, Otessa Moshfegh, Haruki Murakami, Lydia Davis, and Sayaka Murata, always with a hint of satire because just drama makes me uncomfortable. I really like apathetic characters; they make me feel safe.

The other genre is really specific: anything regency-era, smut or not. My favourite book of all time is "Pride and Prejudice," and I have read it once every three months since I was nine. I just love it. Reading Regency usually helps me to calm down my thoughts. It is easy and doesn't require much concentration.

I'm a slow reader. I can confidently say I have never read a book faster than it has been written, and I usually read multiple books at a time.

Last but not least, my favourite genre is old Latin American magic realism, like Gabriel Garcia Márquez, Isabel Allende, Borges, Cortázar, and Galeano. Since I'm Chilean, it's really comforting. There is something about the voice and the world that makes me feel really at home.

Pick Your Perfect Day: When Do You Want New Chapters?

[rarefying]

From the perspective of someone who has happily read 300k+ word fics- it’s really the desire to be fully engrossed in the world and characters. You want to spend more time there. Reading short fics is like popcorn- delicious, but you’re still hungry afterwards unless you eat a lot of it. Speaking personally, I need that agonizingly heart-pounding slowburn in my life, and I can’t get that from shorter entries!

I'm not gonna lie the people who say they don't read a oneshot less than 30k or sometimes more scare me. Because what do you mean you don't want something short and sweet? What do you mean you want to read something that is considered a novella to some published authors?

Like seriously 10k is a lot for me and these people are reading 40k oneshots on the daily.

Needless to say I'll stick with my 1500 to 6000 word oneshots you guys can read the novels

You don't need anyone's permission to be you. - Cemetery Boys by @aidenschmaiden ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ The great debate: stand-alone, duology, trilogy, or longer series. I honestly have no preference. I will read a stand-alone, I've read a lot of duologies recently, and too many trilogies to count. I also have several longer series I've read/am reading. ☆What is your preference of the three options above?☆ ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #bookswelove #bookaholic #booklover #booklife #bookaddict #standalone #duology #trilogy #readingpreference https://www.instagram.com/p/CaI2QxqrqCp/?utm_medium=tumblr

ℚ𝕆𝕋𝔻: Do you prefer standalones, duologies, trilogies, or longer series?⁣ ⁣ I actually like a mix of all of these!! There are some worlds that I just want to explore forever and I can’t imagine being any shorter (like Throne of Glass). But I also love to read standalones or duologies. It can be so nice to have the story wrapped up! ⁣ ⁣ #NewYearNewReads21 - new years kiss: fav otp ⁣ #bluelovesbookishjan21 - 2021 rereads⁣ #courtofreading - fandom friday ⁣ ⁣ #fable #fablebook #namesake #flatlay #flatlayfriday #bookstagram #bookstalove #ireadya #readingforfun #favoritebooks #duology #wednesdaybooks #coverlove #bookcover #bookart #bookishcommunity #igbooks #instabooks #bookdragon #avidreader #bookwormlife #coverlove #youngadultbooks #readingismagic #readersofinsta #readingpreference https://www.instagram.com/p/CKEY5qXgQX4/?igshid=1w2l453k94dx2

(not too fond it, i wont lie, usually cause this is used for random author inserts or explaining something, ruins immersive experiences, then again, depends on what you’d use it for. )

Don't have an opinion on em-dashes tbh 

italics is pretty cool, but not when its used excessively, short and catchy is the way i prefer it

LIKE ITALICS, I ONLY LIKE IT WHEN USED GENEROUSLY

No. I really don't like capitalized words that aren’t supposed to be for the sake of directing a user’s attention to it or to emphasize  

I.Dont.Like.This.At.All.Its.TrippyToo.Look.At

hey, writers. reblog this with your opinions on:

(using parentheses)

using em-dashes—more or less liberally

using italics

DIALOGUE IN ALL CAPS TO IMPLY YELLING

the semicolon; or, how to properly use it

capitalizing Important words

using. repetitive. punctuation. for. emphasis.
