I guess in a way I would call myself somewhat of a book snob, but I prefer the term booknerd with CDO tendencies. Lol.
Adaptation Snob: Do you always read the book before you see the film?
Honestly, yes. If a book I haven't read yet happens to be turned into a movie or TV show, I will immediately up that in my reading queue just so I can officially say that I read it before the movie came out! Although 8/10 times I did already have the book read before its movie debut!
Format Snob: You can only choose 1 format in which to read books for the rest of your life. Which one do you choose: physical books, eBooks, or audiobooks?
Physical books all the way! I read 95% physical books with some eARCs thrown in and the occasional ebook from favored indie authors!
Ship Snob: Would you date or marry a non-reader?
Yes, I would. If he wasn't a reader himself, that's fine, but he better accept me and my books entirely without question! Especially the collections I've got going! Lol.
Genre Snob: You have to ditch one genre – never to be read again for the rest of your life. Which one do you ditch?
I guess I could live without thrillers. I mean, I only read them on occasion. Other times my mysteries tend to run the cozy line!
Uber Genre Snob: You can only choose to read from one genre for the rest of your life. Which genre do you choose?
I'm going to say Paranormal for this one, so that includes all age levels of the Paranormal GENRE and not just subjecting it to a genre and "suggested" age level. Lol.
Community Snob: Which genre do you think receives the most snobbery from the bookish community?
I don't know to be honest. I don't feel like as booklovers we get snobby on any particular genre. We all have our different tastes and if there's a genre we just don't like and we try to give it a chance and end up disliking it once again, we might complain about the reasons why in our review, but I don't feel like we get snobby on a regular basis over a certain genre.
Snobbery Recipient: Have you ever been snubbed for something that you have been reading or for reading in general?
Oh yes, all the time in school. I've always loved reading and soon that turned into reading about vampires, werewolves, and all other creatures that go bump in the night. I was teased occasionally about being a reader, but let me tell you, I was the girl to dish it right back at them too! Lol. My friends would just hassle me about reading about my "vampires" but it was the sort of kind-hearted teasing. Plus I liked watching their eyes glaze over for that little second where I defend my position and mention all the werewolf, witches, demons, and warlock books that I was also reading! Kelley Armstrong's Otherworld series was running strong at that time, so I listed the "creatures" from those first few books of that time for my examples! Lol!
I did marry a non-reader, so I know my answer for that one! Of course, he doesn't always approve of my book buying habits, but he's gotten used to it. :-)
