NSFW Tag

This fun and interesting tag was originally created by booktubers, Luke and Katie. NSFW stands for Not Safe for Work, and it is an internet slang that covers themes that are not really appropriate in a typical workplace or a public environment. The idea behind this tag is to talk about books that have these related themes. There's ten questions.

 1. What is the last book you would want your parents to walk in on you reading?

My parents are pretty accepting of whatever I read, and I don't think I read a lot of "inappropriate" titles, so I'll skip this one. 

2. It's storming outside, and you're home alone for the night. What book would make matters worse?

I'm going to go with a cliche answer and go with The Shining by Stephen King. I read the book after seeing the movie when I was a bit younger, and that movie scarred me.

3. Have you ever read a book simply because of the controversy surrounding it?

I can't really think of anything completely controversial, but the closest one would be The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo because when the book became popular, everyone said it was dark and hard to read. I finally picked it up last year, and I really liked it.. 

4. What is the most cringe-inducing romance or sex scene you have ever read?

Cringe inducing romance - I know it's not romantic, but I'd pick Jacob and Renesmee's relationship.

Sex scene -  Hands down, I'd pick the scene from 50 Shades of Grey. It involves the woman on her time of the month. That's all.

5. What book has made you question the author's sanity? 
Gone Girl! I loved this book. I talked about it more on this post if you're interested. Overall, it's just in the way that author portrayed the characters and situations. It creeped me out how realistic everything was, and how possible everything could be.

6. Have you ever put down a book and not finished it because the content was too much for you?

I don't think I gave up on a book completely, but I have to say I almost gave up on Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. I ended up loving it in the end, but it was just the overall premise. Old man in love with a nymphet thing. 

7. What fictional character do you have the most NSFW thoughts about?

I don't think I have NSFW thoughts on a character, but I'll name some literary crushes!

Landon Carter from A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks and Adam from If I Stay by Gayle Forman.

8. Show us your most NSFW book cover.

I don't have copies of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, but I remember reading this. I read the first five, but gave up because it became too repetitive! The covers though are definitely NSFW.

9. Have you ever read something from the erotica/romance genre, and what did you think? 

The closest thing would be 50 Shades of Grey and the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. 

The genre isn't really for me.

10. You stumble across a portkey. What fictional world would you not want to be transported into?

There's many places I'd hate to be transported into, but I have to pick any world that practices The Hunger Games. I would spend my entire life consistently worrying when my name - as well as my loved ones' names - will be picked, and if I get in the games, I'd probably die right away. Then, the whole time I'm waiting for that annual event would be terrible because of everyone that died in the previous event. It would just be horrific all around. 

That's it for the tag. I am tagging everyone who is reading this. I think it is a very interesting tag, and an original one too. Have fun!
