The Self-Aware Reader Tag
I filmed this in a hurry, sorry if it shows.
Because I was hurrying, I read the questions for this tag from the first video that popped up when I searched for the tag, not the original creator’s video. And it turns out, the original creator’s wording of the questions was a bit more specific/clear than those I used when I filmed this video. So, I highly recommend that version, which I have listed below.
The Self-Aware Reader Tag questions:
1) What most draws you into a novel or story and makes you want to keep reading - plot, character(s), writing style, atmosphere, something else?
2) What is a convention or trope that will immediately turn you off in your reading experience with a novel or story?
3) What most appeals to you when reading nonfiction and makes you want to keep reading? 4) What is a convention or trope in nonfiction that will turn you off in your reading experience? 5) Would you say you read more for pleasure and enjoyment or more to learn and exercise your brain?
6) Which type of books are you likely to rate more highly and enjoy more overall - brain "candy" (pleasure/enjoyment) books or brain "protein" (learning/exercise) books?
7) Do you have a sense early on of whether or not the book you're reading will be a five-star read (or a book you will really like)? Has a book ever surprised you in this regard?
8) Considering books that you've rated five stars in the past (or if you don't rate them, then books you really loved), do you think you would feel the same way about them now? Why or why not?
9) Tag people.
