‘I took an online test to see if I could get out of a reading rut – and some of the results surprised me'
If I asked you to tell me what kind of a reader you are, how would you answer it? Maybe you would tell me your favourite author, or the genre you tend to stick to. Perhaps you would let me know which book you always return to when you need some familiar comfort. I doubt you would tell me a colour.
But according to a test making the rounds on bookish sides of TikTok, that's one of the best ways to categorise your tastes and choose your next read.

Comedian and TikTok star Garron Noone cancels nationwide tour
The content creator made the announcement on social media today, after deciding to take a break from social media in June. In a post to TikTok and Instagram today, the popular Mayo man who shares more than four million followers across the platforms said: 'Many of you will be aware of some of the issues I've dealt with in the past and unfortunately, over the last few months I have been dealing with a lot of these issues again. 'It has gotten to a point where I really need to put all my energy into getting back on track.' He added that he is 'disappointed' not to see fans but hopes to reschedule his shows for 2026, with all tickets remaining valid. "I'm very sorry to everyone that was coming to see me, I understand many of you will have made arrangements to be at the gigs. "If it was possible I would love to do them, but I have to accept that it isn't possible at this time. Thank you to everyone for all their support over the last couple of years, my break from making videos will also likely be a bit longer than I had first hoped, but I look forward to chatting to you all again soon! He signed off the post with his catch phrase 'Stay Delicious', adding the caption – 'I'm very sorry to have to post this, thank you all for everything'. Back in March Noone briefly deactivated his TikTok and Instagram accounts in the wake of backlash he faced to comments he made on immigration in a video shared following MMA fighter Conor McGregor's St Patrick's Day visit to the White House. Noone said he had 'lost a lot of sponsors' and didn't leave his house for a week following a wave of reaction to the video. He was due to perform in Killarney on Saturday, with other shows planned for Mayo, Dublin, Kerry and Belfast. He was also set to perform at Milwaukee Irish Fest 2025, in Wisconsin.

Garron Noone cancels gigs as he takes social media break to deal with 'issues'
Comedian Garron Noone announced he has made the "difficult decision" to cancel his gigs for the rest of the year. The Co Mayo man, who has been open about his previous mental health struggles, released a statement about the news on Instagram on Tuesday evening. Last month, the TikTok star said he would be taking a small social media break, but has now said he will likely be offline for a while longer. He wrote: "After a lot of thought, I'm very sad to have to make the difficult decision to reschedule all of my gigs for this year. It was not an easy decision to make. "Many of you will be aware of some of the issues I've dealt with in the past and unfortunately, over the last few months I have been dealing with a lot of these issues again. It has gotten to a point where I really need to put all of my energy into getting back on track." The comedian, who is also a musician, previously opened up about suffering from agrophobia, an anxiety disorder that involves fearing and avoiding places or situations. Just two years ago, Garron said he was predominantly confined to his house and was barely able to go outside. Taking to social media on Tuesday evening, Garron said he hopes the shows will take place next year. He continued: "I'm disappointed that l'm not going to be able to see you all, but, hopefully I will see you in 2026 for the rescheduled shows. "All tickets remain valid for each rescheduled show, if you would prefer a refund, please contact your ticket provider. I'm very sorry to everyone that was coming to see me, I understand many of you will have made arrangements to be at the gigs. "If it was possible I would love to do them, but I have to accept that it isn't possible at this time. Thank you to everyone for all their support over the last couple of years, my break from making videos will also likely be a bit longer than I had first hoped, but I look forward to chatting to you all again soon!" Last March, the comedian was embroiled in controversy after he posted a video to his over two million followers about immigration in Ireland. He deactivated his accounts for a short period of time before beginning to post again. However, Garron announced a couple of months later in June that he would be taking a break from social media.
