Yesss 🤍🤍

[@Michelle-Loves-Books]

Belle's Library. And in my home!! 😊

[@booklady8888]

Good ideas and fun! I'm looking forward to the "would you rather" Definitely want Belle's library in my home! Didn't like either suggestion to marking page I guess I would mark with light pencil so it could be erased. Happy Reading 📚 😊

[@insearchofwonder]

So fun! Yes, I'd definitely prefer Belle's library in my home. Apparently I would infinitely rather benefit myself than the entire world. 😆😆 And I don' t know about marking every page.... the dog ear is fine. I agree with most of your answers I think.

[@denisefreitas6727]

It's a fun video, Carolyn! Bring another ones, if you want to. I agree with your answers! 😊

[@marsilene]

Our answers are the same ✨️🩵 I love your voice by the way it's so calming and soothing 🩵

[@CarolynMarieReads]

Aw thank you 😊

[@rondoflicflac]

The photo in the back ❤😍🥰

[@martinelanglois3158]

That was fun! We share a lot of answers. Would you rather read four 250 page books or a single 1000 page book? 🤔

[@rozhin8006]

So fun , thanks for sharing , definitely do that!!

1. Classics 2. I'll finish the ones I own 3. I'll bend the corners (I already do) 4. I'll live in my favorite book (that was a really tough one). 5. Cliffhanger. It has already happened to me with Laini Taylor's Dreamdark. I lived. I haven't read a series in years anyway. If Han Kang suddenly started writing bad erotica it would hurt too much. 6. I can't imagine not being able to write. Besides, I don't read fanfiction these days. 7. Never finish a series! 8. I picked Alexandria, for the good of the people and because too many books actually overwhelm me; I spent all of 2023 downsizing my collection to only the most special books 9. I'll choose my favorite author's next project This was great fun!

CarolynMarieReads Thanks for posting this video

[@jamesduggan7200]

That was fun; tyvm

[@hhenze322]

Classics Finish ones I owned Mark every page Book character is annoying Genre expand Read fanfic Never reread my fav books Restore Alexandria library Choose how book ends

[@Marymooau]

That was such a cool quiz. I found it hard like you too. :-)

[@kkfaith08]

i love your videos so much!! ♡

[@CarolynMarieReads]

I’m so glad! :)

[@Count_Deangeli]

The first question I'm firmly sticking with the classics.

[@madebylora]

I mostly had the same answers although there were a few I wasn’t sure about. My strongest preferences were to read classics, not new books. And re-reading my favourites. I love re-reading so much (Jane Eyre especially) that I don’t even remember what the alternative was haha

[@neshkavirdure8289]

🌄🙋‍♀️😊1. Classics 2. Rather Finish The Books That I Own.3. Dog Eared 4. Live in The Book World 5.Writer I Love Changes Genre Writing.6.Read Fan Fiction 7. Never Be Able To Finish a Series 8. Build Belle's Library In Home 9.How Favorite Author Next Book Starts. This Was Fun😊👍👍

[@kimberlyrecio4136]

Last year I read the Seven Sisters Series by Lucinda Riley-popular in the UK but less so in the US. It’s based on seven adopted sisters named for the stars in the Pleiades constellation. There are so many questions by the end of the series, and the author sadly passed away before the very last book about the father that would answer those. Her son did finish that 8th book. So, yes it would be very hard not to finish a series!

[@fernnielsen8158]

classics

[@mariatimofeeva6954]

Thank you for an interesting video! 1. Classics definately. And new releases might one day become classics too) 2. First, not be able to buy new books. Sounds nice to have a goal to read all the current books on the shelves 3. Small mark on the corner, seems as less damage than dog-earing 4. I'd prefer to live in Harry Potter world, and it doesn't matter wheter he hates me or not, I can find my own friends there and just enjoy the world😊 5. Author writing in a genre I don’t like. May be it's a chance for me to start liking this genre? Or yeah, just not read it 6. I'm not into writing any funfiction, so yeah, reading only 7. That’s tricky question. If it means I can't finish any series, then I'll definately choose not be able to reread my favourites. But if I am to choose some series that I won’t finish, then of course, this option. I'll just find one that I don't like. 8. Restore library of Alexandria. I can't imagine taking care of such a library as Belle has)) 9. New project. I prefer my favourite author to make the series final themselves. I'm just a watcher. As for my would you rathers: Would you rather be able to read only books of your favourite genre OR everything except for your favourite genre?

[@kurtfox4944]

Would you rather have all your dust jackets be a single color with no title on the spine (all the same), or varied covers, but ones you don't like? Would you rather never being able to listen to another audio book, or have all you audio books read in monotone?

[@rujahpoetess9166]

1. Classics 2. Oh yea hard one.. yea would finish what I have 3. Hand me the pen 4. Yea depends 🤔 yea.... living in PP 😊 5. Yea expand the genre 6. Write fan fiction 7. Write 8. Home 9. Ending But yea a bit tough to choose 😅

[@Kev_Cos]

I cant believe you love classics and chose not to save the library of Alexandria, thats sacrilegious! Haha, an infinite amount of classics is the result, has to be the choice there lol. Nice fun little video this! For my would you rather Q: I have to ask "Would you rather live out one day/week hanging out in your favourite literary world or be author of one masterpiece of a novel?"

[@AllyEmReads]

The first thing that came to mind for a WYR question was "would you rather have every book you read have deckled edges, or have every book you read be partially annotated" because those are two of my least favorite things 😅

[@doowopshopgal]

Would you rather read your book while sitting in a cozy corner on a rainy day, or would you rather read your book in the park on a sunny day?

[@chhhhhris]

These are some real #girl dilemmas!

[@haerhawk]

I like classics too much to leave them be. They're classics for a reason With new releases it feels like I'm taking a risk everytime I also love the old prose even if I'm not able to understand it.

[@Kev_Cos]

I agree. I may be wrong, but in the era of classics, authors seem to be of such outstanding education, each read can have incredible depth to it with so many layers that which each read you can learn more, I find that less so with modern books.

[@kurtfox4944]

never re-read my favorite book - LOL... you stated 'book' SINGULAR (it can't be Anna Karenina, could it?), not plural 'books'

[@Harmosaurus]

Imagine living in middle earth!

[@shandisfancher8766]

Would you rather never be able to design another book cover or never get to see the covers of the books you read?

[@dianaayt]

Oh i would prefer never read my favorite book again. Ive read it 3 times in 2 years and even though I would miss it a lot, I cannot not read more series when most wonderful series out there touching every point on humans relationships and complexed emotions (malazan, wheel of time, one piece, stormlight archive etc) so I think i prefer never read the portrait of dorian gray again haha

[@mimishimaineko1173]

How's Willow doing?🐕She hasn't been reading with you lately.🧡

[@CarolynMarieReads]

She’s doing great! I’ll make sure to have her in a video soon 😊🐶

[@TashaKoss]

When will be Middlemarch debate?

[@CarolynMarieReads]

Emma and I are in the process of choosing a date. Our schedules are both very busy at the moment, but we’re hoping to have the live show soon :)

[@TashaKoss]

@@CarolynMarieReads Looking forward to it! Cheers from Irkutsk (Russia)

[@magda_mf]

I would actually love to be banned from buying new books until I read the ones I own, I don't have enough self-control 🙈

[@CarolynMarieReads]

Relatable 😂

[@rebeccaxo2232]

Lol levin is already annoying, no change there

[@365tage9]

boring video!
