The 7 Deadly Sins of Books Tag

 
I wanted to do a tag and I found this, the 7 Deadly Sins of reading/books. For those who aren't familiar with tags online, it's basically a questionnaire that people answer and they tag a number of people to also answer them as well. For my tags, I will try to vary my answers without making them up and ask that everyone else try to do the same. Feel free to answer the questions here in the comments below ;) You can still answer these questions if you want to whether I tagged you or not!

1. GREED—What is your most inexpensive book? What is your most expensive book?
My most inexpensive book would have to be something from my library hauls that I posted about here and here.  My most expensive book for my personal bookshelf (not for my book biz) is probably Footsteps by Umm Zakiyyah.

2. WRATH—What author do you have a love/hate relationship with?

I'm not sure if this counts, but my love/hate author would be Lemony Snicket because although I liked his books in elementary school, his writing was sometimes boring and annoying to read. But I made myself finish the series; 13 books that I probably would never have read if I wasn't introduced to the series by my 4th grade teacher.

3. GLUTTONY—What book have you deliciously devoured over and over with no shame?

Probably Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I'm sure I've read it more than twice since 6th grade.

4. SLOTH—What book have you neglected reading due to laziness?

Any books under standalone, start and complete series, and others from my 2015 Reading Goals post.

5. PRIDE—What book do you most talk about in order to sound like a very intellectual reader?

None. I'll talk about any book even if it is "unintellectual".

6. LUST—What attributes do you find most attractive in male or female characters?

Funny, smart/ clever, outspoken, brave, etc. Basically anything I find attractive in actual people.

7. ENVY—What books would you most like to receive as a gift?

Monster War by Dean Lorey. I can't seem to find this book anywhere (and at an affordable price). I want it to read and complete my set of the Nightmare Academy trilogy!

  1. 1. GREED—
    My most inexpensive book besides gifts would be books that I've gotten from library sales as well. My most expensive book might be Dante's Paradise Lost (Deluxe Edition-Penguin).

    2. WRATH—
    Hmm. Maybe John Green because although I like him, I don't really like most of his books that much.

    3. GLUTTONY—
    Harry Potter of course!!

    4. SLOTH—
    Most classics that I own. The book that I've neglected the longest is, (according to Goodreads) Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson. I don't even know why I have it...it was free.

    5. PRIDE—
    Ha ha Slaughterhouse Five.

    6. LUST—
    Wow what a complicated question...it depends on the character.

    7. ENVY—
    Anything on my goodreads "Insha Allah shelf". But currently I'm hoping especially for the Fairyland Series, or anything else by Catherynne M. Valente. I'm actually expecting a small complimentary shipment of books from Tor/Forge Macmillan publishing! (Perks of having an aunt who in publishing.) (Sorry I'm just excited.)
