E/N (Early bird / Nighttime reader)
*side note: I don’t know why it’s not “nighttime owl” to go alongside “early bird”… but whatever 😅
For this one… I’m an early bird. E. My favorite time of the day is that 5am-9am window. I love that early morning feel, like having the whole day ahead of you. I like the sunrise, sunsets are a little too depressing for me lol. So, yeah, I’m more of a read in the morning, even during the day. I can’t read at night no mo’. I don’t know how other adults do it. When I was a teenager? Yeah, pretty often I would. But now, in my 30s?? Girl, I’m falling asleep. I am falling asleep, I can’t do it. I can’t even make it three pages in and don’t let it be an audiobook… it’s over.
P/D/B (Physical book / Digital, e.g. Kindle or Audible / Both)
For this one… I’m both. B. I want them all!! I’ll read on all or any format. Libby is my homegirl, till death do us part. Just to break things down a little more for you though: I am more in favor of a physical book. When it comes to audiobooks I do prefer to have the physical to read along with. Digital or ebooks are probably my least fave due to not being able to physically see how far along I am in the book but at the same time audiobooks by themselves can also be one of my least faves because I cannot multitask while listening to an audiobook. I can’t drive and listen to an audiobook. I can’t wash dishes, do laundry, chores while listening to an audiobook. They leave me pretty restricted. When I’m driving that’s time for me to listen to my music. I love to read and all but I’m not about to listen to a book while driving, more power to y’all for that. So it’s like a tie between audiobooks and ebooks for least fave but still I’m reading them all.
S/C (Story-driven / Character -driven)
For this one… I’m character-driven. C. A story can have all of the action and plot twists it wants… but I ain’t dealing with a boring, dull or annoying character. I like my characters to have personality. I want my characters to talk to me and deal with other characters who also have interesting personalities. Reading from an antagonist’s viewpoint sounds interesting af! One of the most unique characters I’ve read from comes from the book A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. It’s one of my favorite books of all time and one of the hardest books ever to recommend. The main character in that is just a very audacious person with a superior complex about him but yet he also is a humorously grotesque individual. The story is also pretty out there too. And if you didn’t already know I’m also a writer, you can check me out on my Wattpad page (michaliza). I specialize in writing m/m urban romances, been writing them since 9th grade/15 years old. So if that’s your thing then check it out. Maybe one day I’ll be an author for this type of material because I feel like you don’t see it a lot, especially in book stores. I’m digressing a tad bit but when I write my own stories I constantly have my characters talking to the audience/reader and a lot of my stories follow characters and their relationships with others so this is what I appreciate in books that I read. I like a good character study, another good one would be The Stranger by Albert Camus.
O/M (One book at a time / Multiple books)
For this one… I’m multiple books. M. I’ve always been this way. I can juggle many books and never get confused, not to toot my own horn but, yeah, lol. At the moment I’m between 5 books, I just started a new one yesterday. But look, I do very much aspire to be a one book at a time girly some day. I aspire to have one book on my Goodreads currently reading shelf one day. I’ve been saying this for years now at this point though 😂 I’ve also been growing into being a mood reader which I’m not caring for. So for now it’s multiple books for the win.
So… I’m an EBCM 😁
This was fun and cool lol.
Type soon 😗🤞🏾
