Blogmas Day 2- Bookish Naughty or Nice List Tag
Hello readers!
Today I will be doing the bookish naughty or nice list.
This tag I found through Jenniely's blog as part of her blogmas guide.
The rules are really simple:
link to the person who tagged you
tag Jenniely in your post
tick/cross off the ones you've done
tag more people!
1. Received an arc and did not review it.
I've only ever received one ARC and I loved it too much to not review it.
2. Have less than 60% feedback rating on Netgalley.
I don't use Netgalley as often as I did maybe a year and a half ago. Right now I'm trying to catch up with my already released books TBR but I hope to get back to Netgalley soon.
3. Rated a book on Goodreads, promised a review on your blog, and never delivered.
To my knowledge, I have never done this.
Oh yesss. Around the time I graduated high school I was a bit more of a monster with the care of my books. I still don't get overly fussy about them, however I have stopped folding the corners to mark my spot.
Again, guilty of this. I've also accidentally dropped my OG Harry Potter books in the bathtub while reading them. It did not stop me from doing it again.
Somewhat. I've almost DNF'd at least two books. I DNF'd a series I planned on finishing. However all of them I have actually finished.
7. Bought a book because it was pretty with no intention of reading it.
Nope. I am pretty good about only buying books if I feel like I genuinely will enjoy the story. There are many beautiful covers out there for many books that I know I probably wont enjoy, so instead of collecting them at my house, I'd rather just visit them at the store or library.
Oh yeah. When I was in elementary school I would stay up to read in the dark all the time. I now have terrible eyesight. I also picked up the final Harry Potter book and finished it in one sitting, starting at 7:30 p.m. and ending around 4:00 a.m.
Yes. This one I am more guilty of than I'd like to admit, however I can usually tell at what point if I don't feel invested in the story. At that point I will either skim read with some cliff notes mixed in.
Usually if I don't think I'll make my Goodreads goal, I know by the middle of the year and I will adjust it accordingly. That may be counted as a yes, since I don't meet my original goal that I set at the beginning of the year.
11. Borrowed a book and not returned it.
Never!
12. Broke a book buying ban.
I don't have a problem where I purchase a lot of books and have a never-ending TBR. So I have never put myself on a ban to break.
I am definitely guilty of this, though I usually never forget. For me, it's more I start a book because the platform I am reading it on or with is something in that moment that I can handle but within a week or so life becomes hectic and I don't find time to read and then I kind of slip the book back off my currently reading list and tell myself I'll try again in the future. That is currently what is happening with Strange The Dreamer.
Yes. This is something I would do with textbooks a lot, which is more common. Another instance is that when I have to read literature for a purpose, I will highlight or underline or note on the pages. I find sticky notes to be a little wasteful, because its more paper that is harder to recycle. If I really enjoyed the "required" reading material and I felt strongly enough to consider it a favorite, I may get a second, nicer copy that I wont have notes in for rereading purposes without the details I tracked before.
There are many, many, many books from high school and prior that I have not listed on Goodreads. Most of it is because I can't remember the title until I come across it on Goodreads, and part of it is not wanting to try to reflect on the year I read it to keep my list accurate.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to do this. I tag Jess from Read Between The Wine for sure.
