Would You Rather – Bookish Edition Tag

Book tag time! I was tagged by Leah from Leah’s Books and Cooks to do the “would you rather” tag. I glanced over the questions, and they’re actually pretty hard, so here we go… But first, here are the rules for this tag: Answer the questions given to you by your nominator Make up your own questions and tag others Would you rather have to read the last chapter of every new book first, or never read the last chapter? Okay, there we have it. I told you this was hard?! In this case I’d choose to read the last…
