In Or Out Book Tag

Katie put up this fun book tag video (which I watched while making lunches for our Canada trip!) and I wanted to play,  too!

BOOK TAG QUESTIONS:
Reading the last page first... I am OUT!

Enemies to lovers... I'm just not super into romantic stories in general but I liked Tacos for Two so I'll say I'm halfway in?

Dream sequences... I don't think I've encountered these much but I think I'm probably out.

Love triangles... Again, not a big fan of romance. But I'll say in. I'm currently thinking of Bailey Flanigan's love triangle in the Baxter Family books.

Cracked spines... Firmly out. Nope, nope, nope! 

Back to my small town... I'm in. Love it. 

Monsters are real people... Out. Just not for me.

No paragraph breaks... Very out. Also out when it's one long book with no chapter breaks.

Multi-generational sagas... so in!!! Family books are s favorite for me.

Re-reading... In, for sure.

Artificial intelligence... Fully out if you mean AI-written books. I'm in for stories about it (I'm thinking I Think I Was Murdered) but I don't want to read about it all the time or anything.

Drop caps... I'm not really in or out. I guess I'm firmly out in children's books because it's confusing to some new readers but I don't mind it in books for adults.

Happy endings... So in!

Plot points that only converge at the end... In... as long as it's well-done!

Detailed magic system... Out. I'm not a fantasy fan. The Magic system in Fawkes is about as detailed as I can handle 😆.

Classic fantasy races... Elves, dwarves, etc. Out. Though I am currently writing a graphic novel for my children that involves Christmas trolls.

Unreliable narrators... I'm in but I want this to be rare. 

Evil protagonists... Out.

The chosen one... Mostly out, I think. 

When the protagonist dies... OUT!!!

Really long chapters... I'm out unless they have section breaks within the chapters. Reading for an uninterrupted 30-minute stretch isn't currently doable in my life... but once it is again, I think I'll still prefer shorter/section breaks.

French flaps... Out, but I'll still read a book that comes with them.

Deckled edges... Out! These bug me so much. They pull me out of the story when page-turning isn't instant and seamless.

Signed copies by the author... In. I just got my kids a signed copy of the newest Green Ember novel for Christmas!

Dog-earing pages... Out!! Oh, so out. 

Chapter titles instead of numbers... Out. I like knowing how many chapters are left and repeatedly estimating when I'll finish a book based in that information. Yesterday one of my kids was annoyed with a book with chapter titles for this very reason and I realized this might be a common thing!
