✨The Moody Book Tag✨ (original tag!)

I decided to try my hand at an original tag about emotions and reading! I am a very empathetic INFJ introvert water sign so I am VERY moody haha.

Questions:
1. Do you consider yourself a mood reader?
2. Do you set TBR lists and do you stick to them?
3. Do books affect you emotionally? Does the mood of a book rub off on you?
4. When you’re feeling sad, what do you read? (Or do you not read when sad?)
5. Most often, do you use reading to escape, to learn, or to critically reflect?
6. What is a book that made you laugh out loud?
7. What is a book that has made you cry? Or, if you don’t cry, one that really moved you?
8. What is a book that you didn’t even know how you felt about?
9. Are you more likely to read on a sunny day or a cloudy day?
10. Do you usually “set the mood” when you read? Music, lights, smells, etc?
11. Can you leap from book to book or do you need buffer time between them?

-Not trying to distill emotions down to happy/sad dichotomy so apologies if this comes off that way!
-Even if no one else picks up on this tag, I had so much fun recording and editing this video! No regrets/live and learn!

As you may have noticed, I changed the wording for Question 4 in this video's description. Instead of asking if you seek happy/sad/neutral books when sad, I think "What type of book?" is a better prompt to open up this discussion. :)

Love this video, Brittany 😎

Also like the idea of creating these tags! I made a twitter thread with a handful of simple tags and ended up here days later actually, LOL.

Anyhow, it's awesome to connect. Cheers!

What a great idea for a tag! I'm excited to do it, I am never done talking about FEELINGS. Now I need to read Samantha Irby! I love when a book can make you laugh.

[litnana]

I love this because I'm such a mood reader too! Thank you for tagging me!!! I'm so excited to do this tag :) I love funny books, so I've gotta read Samantha Irby!

I'm so excited to do this tag! This is such a good tag, I'm an introverted INFP earth sign so I feel you in being moody. Thank you for this amazingly creative and intuitive tag!

"Dig myself an emotional grave" is my new favourite sentence. Also one of the great British pastimes is making tea, forgetting about it, then necking the whole lot an hour later in one gross lukewarm gulp lmao. I looked up the Atwood book you mentioned and it sounds very interesting, the only thing of theirs I think I've read is Oryx & Crake, so I'll be adding this one to my TBR! Great answers, great tag and thank you so much for mentioning my channel! I'll keep the tag going this week!

A mood reading tag seems perfect for 2020! Great tag.

[AndreaJSeverson]

Love this tag! I saw my friend Shannon at Pages and Polish do it so I had to film it too. I just uploaded mine. I'm definitely a mood/moody reader, and fellow INFJ. :)

[melissacole]

I was yelling at you to drink your tea, but you didn’t hear me! 😂😉 Great video! Looking forward to the responses!

[moonlightlibrary]

I love the reading the questions like you didn’t write them. I really want to do this tag! This is great.

[ayushij]

As soon as you mentioned a book that made you cry, I immediately thought of A Thousand Splendid Suns. Have you read that book? It's such an emotional ride and it had me crying in bed at 3am

[tunnelofbooks]

Wrote the questions gonna do this ASAP 😌😌... cheers to being moody lol.
