The wonderful Jennie over at Jenniely tagged me in her Bookish Naughty or Nice tag, so what with it being December and all I thought I had to take part! Here we go:
Received an ARC and not reviewed it
If it is a physcial ARC I have reviewed them all, but I definitely still have some galleys on Netgalley to review, but galleys and ARCs are different in my mind. Well that's my story anyway....
Have less than 60% feedback rating on Netgalley
84%. Oh yea!
Rated a book on goodreads and promised a full review was to come on your blog (and never did)
Nope! I only really use Goodreads for tracking and rating what I've read, I never really post on there.
Folded down the page of a book
100% guilty of this. I'm definitely a dog ear kind of reader. I sometimes go through phases of thinking oh I will buy pretty bookmarks and use them, but I never do....
Accidentally spilled on a book
Nope, which is totally surprising because we all know I like a glass of wine with my books!
DNF a book this year
I started on Hunting Prince Dracula at the start of the year. I really enjoyed Stalking Jack the Ripper so thought this would be as good but sadly I couldn't get on with it!
Bought a book purely because it was pretty with no intention of reading it
Oh come on, who hasn't done this?! As a book collector too I have a few editions of Harry Potter for display. No shame.
Read whilst you were meant to be doing something else (like homework)
For sure.
Skim read a book
Nope, although sometimes I will skim read a paragraph if it's super tense, it's like my brain is trying to reach the next part quicker.
Completely missed your Goodreads goal
I have hit my goodreads goal for the year. I like to aim for one book a week but I don't think I will be setting a goal next year, I've just found it definitely affects what I chose to read as I try and cram in shorter books to reach my goal.
Borrowed a book and not returned it
My friends are pretty awesome and we kind of work on the assumption that if we give each other a book to read, we don't expect it back.
Broke a book buying ban
Ahahah yes. Just look at my many hauls from this year as proof of my failures.
Started a review, left it for ages then forgot what the book was about
Yes for sure! Writing reviews is hard then I tell myself I need a day to digest what I've read and then a day turns into a month and so on and so forth.
Wrote in a book you were reading
No, I'm not a monster! Just kidding about the monster part. But no, writing in books is not for me.
Finished a book and not added it to your Goodreads
If it's not on goodreads does it even exist? But yea, as I mentioned I get a bit obsessed with that reading challenge goal so always log.
Borrowed a book and not returned it to a friend
Similar answer to above. If it was a special book I would definitely give it back though!
Dodged someone asking if they can borrow a book
Nope!
Broke the spine of someone else’s book
No, they either turn up with the spine broken or I know I don't need to return it. But ouch to those who have the spines broken on books.
Took the jacket off a book to protect it and ended up making it more damaged
Nope! So weirdly I didn't know people removed the jacket to proect books. I am a terrible reader though and will use the front or back flap to mark my place in the book.
Sat on a book accidentally
No thank goodness because that sounds painful!
Final Score: 6/10 I am such a goody goody!
Thanks again for tagging me Jennie, this was super fun to do! And now time for my tags, I choose you:
- Ash - For the Love of Books
- Nicola - Fantastic Book Dragon
- Jen - Shit Book Reviews
- Amy - Obvs It's Lifestyle
- Steph - A Little But a Lot
Ha, I've never accidentally spilled on a book. I do hate that. My kids do it all the time though.
ReplyDeleteHaha I've definitely dodged people asking to borrow books because I know they can't be trusted to return them!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh there are some funny ones here! I'm also guilty of folding down the corners of pages - bookmarks just fall out (that's my excuse anyway!) :)
ReplyDeleteI am the worst for folding the corners on pages. Too lazy to find a real bookmark! x
ReplyDeleteI never fold down pages as I am really precious about my books. But I've certainly bought nice looking ones with no intention of reading them x
ReplyDeleteI turn down the corners all the time in books
ReplyDeleteI love books and tend to take so much care of them, lol. But I am guilty of not reviewing some books after promising a full review on Goodreads.
ReplyDeleteI envy your rating - I cannot seem to rise above 43% at netgallery - I think I have a slight hoarding problem...
ReplyDeleteI am totally guilty of skim reading and then having to go back and read it properly LOL
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fun tag. Thanks for sharing.

I’m definitelt guilt of buying books that look good but I have no intention of reading! X
ReplyDeleteThis was a great tag. I too have a complete box set of Harry Potter, still in its plastic wrapping because it is pretty and I don't want dust near the books or box. (I already have well read copies, e-book copies and audible copies. I keep meaning to get my NetGalley rating to over 95% but it's currently at 88% because I love books and keep getting more.
ReplyDeleteOoh you have more than I ever did.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of arcs and not reviewed them. At the end of each year I go through those books that have been waiting 12 months for a review and then remove them - only ecopies. Physical copies I have to review as I feel awful for not doing them.
ReplyDeleteYou are a goody two shoes. I will definitely be on the naughty list this year!
