[Tag] Seven Deadly Sins of Reading

So, for the Seven Deadly Sins of Reading tag, we were tagged by Cayce at Fighting Dreamer. Okay, technically not specifically tagged, because she tagged everyone, but still :P

GREED - What is your most expensive book? What is your least expensive book?
C- Oh gosh… I don’t know!

N- Most expensive…

C- brb; TO THE BOOK SHELF

N- Well I guess the least expensive book I bought was probably The Language of Flowers. I think it was originally $30 and I got it for 2. Quite the bargain.

C- Yeah that was a great find! Basement books I believe? My least expensive book… Probably this really cute, thin red hardback edition of Jane Eyre that I found at my local op shop for $1. I've now got 3 copies of Jane Eyre… #issues

N- Jane Eyre is such a great book! #noissuesthere

C- My most expensive books have to be my hardback, illustrated special editions of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, I think they were around $100? But it was a present from my mum so not really sure if that counts.

N- Nice!

C- lol she bought them for me before I was a true book nerd, probably hoping to push me in the right direction

N- I’m sure the illustrations helped haha. I think my most expensive book is probably the fancy clothbound edition of A Game of Thrones. But let me check, NARA TO THE BOOKSHELF TOO

C- HAHA too true, off you go

N- Yeah, it’s A Game of Thrones. I thought maybe Inferno might be up there too, but I think GoT is more expensive.

C- I don’t even like GoT but yours is so pretty, worth it!

WRATH - What author do you have a love/hate relationship with?

N- Um...yeah I really don’t know...well I really love Jen Armentrout’s Covenant series, but Frigid and Obsession...not so much.

C- oooo good one! Yeah definitely, she’s got some really great ones and some… questionable ones.

N- lol even her Lux series was a bit meh.

C- OMG ONYX! Just gave up and gave it a DNF

N- I don’t know why people like Daemon so much...to be honest he’s a bit of an ass.

C- hahah well, I just don’t see the swoon in turning into blobs of light… and Katy was annoying as crap

N- Quite true. So who’s the author you have a love/hate relationship with?

C- *groan* Jamie McGuire…You KNOW how much I loved Beautiful Disaster, not shutting up about it and shoving it in your face all the time. And when I heard Walking Disaster, a retelling from Travis’ POV, I was ecstatic! But Nara… it was awful :( now I have trouble even rereading BD because of it.

N- BD was crappy. hahaha

C- hey back off! My guilty pleasure, my rules?

N- lol fair enough. But yeah, I guess if you really like BD then WD would have been a bit crappy. And didn’t you dislike her Providence or whatever series as well?

C- OH YEAH! Good ol’ DNF, so so cheesy, could not cope.

GLUTTONY - What book have you deliciously devoured over and over with no shame whatsoever?
C- Hmm, the catch with this question is really the “with no shame” part ey haha

N- What does that even mean? Like, can I say Percy Jackson? No shame even though I’m not a 12 year old?

C- haha yeah, like say hypothetically I’ve read Fifty Shades a few times… there would be a bit of shame

N- only a few times eh…..

C- hahahaha *awkward silence* BUT! without shame. I can say The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons, that book is flipping fantastic, but I only ever reread the first half haha

N- Fair enough! I’m going to say Harry Potter and Percy Jackson because I freaking love both those series to bits.

C- Ah that’s so true, HP is such a trap though, you feel a little nostalgic so you reread one, then BOOM goodbye your entire week to reread the whole series

SLOTH - What book have you neglected reading due to laziness?
N- Code Name Verity. Also Gone Girl.

C- OMG TESTIFY, they’re both panacea candidates for me so you need to get on that!

N- Dude! Hyprocritical much! You need to read so many of mine hahaha

C- hahahha #caughtout. I’ve been neglecting Partials since it’s sitting quietly on my bookshelf!

N- Earth Girl too.

C- Oh yeah! That’s on my shelf too all raring to go, I read so slowly though, sighhh never enough time.

PRIDE - What book do you most talk about in order to sound like a very intellectual reader?
C- HAHAHA oh gosh… normally I just talk about YA books, we read enough text books in med

N- I have to agree, I don’t normally talk about “intellectual” books with other people, but if I had to I’d go for The Elegance of the Hedgehog- not only is the title epic, but my version is in French. So...

C- hahaha yeah you win

LUST - What attributes do you find most attractive in male or female characters?
N- Green eyes. Hehe. Also black hair with blue eyes is a killer combination.

C- PALE GUYS, WITH BLACK HAIR AND BLUE EYES. Omgosh. Yes. ie. Prince Jonathon from Tamora Pierce’s books.

N- In terms of personality though, I like the nice guys. Bad boys can suck it.

C- haha I have to agree you there, I love me some bad boys occasionally, but they don’t make me fan girl like a nice boy next door (Jase) or a self-confessed geek (Matt), or SAM! “so nice that it hurts” <3 <3

N- SAM!!!! Also Finn from All Our Yesterdays. He’s so dang nice :’)

C- YES! And Finn from If He Had Been With Me, when he’s teaching her how to drive :’)

N- You haven’t read it, but in In the After, the love interest adorably blushes :’)

C- AAAAWW! I’m sold. Totes going to read it.


ENVY - What books would you most like to receive as a gift?
C- LOL love this question. *hint hint Nara*

N- Mate! Your birthday isn’t even until next year.

C- mwahahahhaha

N- Although, Christmas? haha

C- Hmmm To my book depository wishlist! I is prepared. Splintered and Pivot Point probably top my gift list, because they’re a bit pricier. But “want” wise, if I hadn’t given myself a temporary book ban since I bought so many during exam period, I’d be buying hard copies of Speechless and Sweet Peril in a heartbeat. You?

N- A Darkness Strange and Lovely and Vicious and House of Hades and The Fiery Heart and IGNITE ME and the list goes on and on. One can never want too many books :P

C- Very true! Great chat, Nara :D

By the way, if you're wondering WTF is with the hearts and skulls and crap on the bookcovers in the Wrath section, you are not alone. Chantelle went a bit wild hahaha <---CAN I DELETE THAT?! Nope.

Nara: Since the point of this is to tag people to answer the questions, not sure if they'll do it but I'm going to tag Meg @ Adrift on Vulcan (even though you're probably quite busy with the whole new blog thing TOO BAD mwahaha), Jaz @ Pixelski and Mel @ YA Midnight Reads. 

And what the hey, I may as well tag everyone else too haha. So if you feel like doing the tag, go ahead! WE TAG YOU.
