The 7 Deadly Sins of Reading

Hello again Internet! (Still have no idea why I keep putting that...) Today I thought I would do the 7 deadly sins of reading tag, I'm not entirely sure who created this tag but it's been going around the BookTube community for a while so I thought I'd have a go at it :)

Greed: What are your most expensive and least expensive books?
Most expensive are probably my Harry Potter books, maybe? Or possibly some of the philosophy books I used as part of my degree seeing as they all cost quite a lot. My least expensive, that I didn't get in a second hand book shop/charity shop, is probably a book about Kant by Ralph Walker (I think that's his name) that has £2 printed on the back. 

Wrath: Which author do you have a love/hate relationship with? 
I'm going to go for Ally Carter because of the Gallagher Girls series. I finished them quite a while ago, and just kind of ended the whole story in my head, and now a 6th book is being released sometime towards the end of this year and I don't like waiting that long for a final book. I mean it would have been 2 years. 

Gluttony: What book have you devoured over and over again with no remorse whatsoever? 
The Catcher in the Rye by J D Salinger. It's probably my favourite book and I read it at least two times a year. It's love. 

Sloth: What book have you neglected to read due to laziness?
I'm going to say both The Casual Vacancy, which I've started about 6 times but then I just get distracted by other books, and Inferno by Dan Brown which came out a few months ago and I got it straight away but it's long and I get distracted by books far too easily. 

Pride: What book do you talk about most in order to sound like a very intellectual reader?
None really...a lot of people have questioned whether I do actually like The Catcher in the Rye or whether I just say it because it's "cool" to like it or whatever, but I just talk about the books I enjoy and I don't really care what people think about it...

Lust: What attributes do you find most attractive in male or female characters? 
Well my favourite male characters are Draco Malfoy and Jace Wayland, so a mix of them would be great.

Envy: What books would you most like to receive as a gift?
Harry Potter: Page to Screen and Harry Potter: Film Wizardry. Or like a first edition of Catcher...either way :) 

Thanks for reading :)
