Okay, okay, excuse the use of the word fall but Buzzfeed think they can guess what book I should read so I thought I would try it out. I barely know what book I should read next especially if I was trying to make it seasonal so we’ll see. What do Buzzfeed think I should read next?
WHere would you most enjoy spending fall?
OPTIONS:
Seattle
Berlin
Poland
Sri Lanka
On a road trip across America
New Jersey
I would definitely pick the road trip to America with a hella massive group of friends. I really, really, reallllly want to go to America and I think a road trip would be the best way to see as much as possible.
WHat is your ideal fall activity?
Options:
Playing Backgammon
Bonding with your family
Inheriting a house
Getting your life together
Meeting an old friend
Starting a new relationship
Being a part of a love triangle
Fighting for your freedom
Fighting for your survival
God that’s a lot of choice there! I think maybe sorting my life out? There’s a lot of things I need to sort out at the moment and maybe reading about other people trying to get their life together will make me feel better!
Pick a number
208
304
352
320
368
272
whaaaaaa Buzzfeed? HOW IS THIS GOING TO HELP. Right, I’m going with 368 for no reason at all
PICK some orchard apples
I picked this one? I don’t know why but I did.
Have some pumpkin pie
I picked this image for this question – once again no idea why.
andddddd the answer is…..
You got: “The Wangs vs. the World” by Jade Chang
Jade Chang’s debut novel “The Wangs vs. the World” follows Taiwanese-born American businessman Charles Wang, who must unite his children to start fresh in China after losing his fortune to the 2008 recession. The Wangs set off on a road trip across the country, all the way struggling to deal with their new financial situation — and each other. Highly entertaining and often laugh-out-loud funny, “The Wangs vs. the World” shows the often surprising ways hardship can bring a dysfunctional family closer together as well as what it means to be an immigrant in America today. Publication date: Oct. 4
^ So, there we go. That’s the book for me to read this fall – you can take the quiz here! Otherwise I’m off to add this to my Amazon basket.
Ha ha… I tried the quiz – and got MISCHLING by Affinity Konary. Nope. Not in a month of Sundays. I don’t do reality red in tooth and claw – it’s why I like speculative fiction. And I’m certainly NEVER going to pick an emotional book set in a concentration camp about the agony of two sisters forcibly separated!!! So all that malarky about picking apples and number etc was a complete waste:)
That’s a decent pick! I got Swing Time by Zadie Smith. Which is on my TBR. Is it possible they are just employing a cool marketing strategy. (To be fair both the Wangs and Mischling are in my TBR as well).
Sometimes Buzzfeed has really good quizzes!!
Cool idea for a post! I took the quiz and got Swing Time by Zadie Smith 😊
