The Bookish Ashley

Let’s be honest—every reader has very specific preferences. Whether it’s choosing between a love triangle or enemies-to-lovers, or deciding if audiobooks count as reading (spoiler: they do), we all have our opinions.

So let’s make it official! It’s time for a little Bookish This or That, and I want to hear your take. Vote in the polls below (or head to my Instagram Stories if you’re reading this in real time) and see how your opinions stack up with the rest of the bookish community.

1. Physical Books or E-Books?

• I need to smell the pages. Team Physical Book.

• Load my Kindle like it’s my lifeline. E-books all the way.

2. Series or Standalone?

• I want to live in that world forever (Series!)

• One and done, please. (Standalone)

3. Love Triangle or Enemies to Lovers?

• Give me the drama and heartbreak of a love triangle.

• Nothing hits like the slow-burn angst of enemies to lovers.

4. Morning Reading or Late-Night Binge?

• Coffee, blanket, and a book before the world wakes up.

• Suddenly it’s 3am and I’m 200 pages deep.

5. Annotating or Keeping It Pristine?

• I highlight, scribble, tab—my books are a masterpiece.

• Don’t even bend the spine. I’m delicate.

6. Audiobooks or No Thanks?

• Love them! Perfect for multitasking.

• I need to physically see the words to vibe.

7. TBR List or Mood Reading?

• I live for a color-coded, prioritized TBR.

8. Plot-Driven or Character-Driven?

• Keep it moving—I need action.

• I’ll follow a compelling character anywhere.
