Book Tag – Seven Deadly Sins

Found this tag over at Reading at Teatime!

Greed | What is your most expensive book and what is your least expensive book?

I paid a pretty penny for my copy of Grimm’s Fairy Tales — it’s beautiful, no regrets.

I recently bought The Nutcracker and the Mouse King e-book for just .99 cents. Side note: is Maria only 8 years old when she marries the Nutcracker?? What is happening???!!!

Wrath | Which author do you have a love/hate relationship with?

Kelley Armstrong — hands down. I get so sucked into her worlds even though I know, based on experience, that I will inevitably dislike the main characters and often find the relationships they end up in completely toxic.

Gluttony | What book have you deliciously devoured over and over again with no remorse whatsoever?

I’m not much of a re-reader. I think the only books I’ve read more than once in my adult life have been Dawn (Book 1 of Lilith’s Brood, Octavia Butler) and Frankenstein (Mary Shelley).

Sloth | What book have you neglected reading due to laziness?

It (Stephen King) — it’s massive and I don’t like him enough to convince myself to get through it all.

Pride | Which book do you most talk about in order to sound like a very intellectual reader?

Haha, I guess 1984; though, I do love that book.

Lust | What attributes do you find most attractive in male and female characters?

Hmm… I guess a good sense of humour and open-mindedness. Characters who blatantly look down on others drive me nuts. Very unattractive.

Envy | What book would you most like to receive as a gift?

In general, graphic novels. They’re my most expensive vice! I have far more kindles than hard copies, just to save the $$… That said, I do like reading comics in digital format. It’s nice that you can zoom in and large spreads don’t get broken up.
