Happy Thanksgiving Eve everyone!! Today, I have a super fun tag to share with you. I saw this tag a month ago from @NeverNotReading. Be sure to check out her blog. She has great reviews and amazing content!

The Rules
- Thank the person who nominated you and add a link to their blog
- Answer the ten questions asked on this post
- Nominate at least five people to do it also
Top 3 Book Pet Hates – I’d have to agree with Katie @NeverNotReading. I really don’t like it when they change book covers in the middle of the series. Even if the new covers are gorgeous… it just annoys me so much because then I’d have to buy the new ones, so that all my books will match (I hate it when my books don’t!). Speaking of covers, I dislike CoverPornBooks with a passion. I do judge a book by it’s cover, but hate it when the books have such mesmerizing and creative covers, but the story is far from being beautiful or great… Just no!! It also really bothers me when a book starts out really strong and get me so excited and intrigued and then just go downhill to blahhhhhh… That’s the worst betrayal of all.
Perfect Reading Spot – I pretty much read anywhere because I like using any free time I have to catch up on my TBR. (You all know how behind I am) At my desk if I need to take a little break from work or if it’s slow, in the car/Uber, at restaurants while waiting for food, in the train, in the bathroom, while waiting in line at theme parks… BUT my perfect reading spot will always be on my bed, with a cozy blanket, scented candles, and a hot cup of tea or coffee.
3 Book Confessions – I own more books (physical and ebooks) than books I’ve read. If I LOVE a book A LOT, then I’ll buy multiple copies/editions of that book. I still haven’t finished reading Harry Potter! (I read the first book in college, but never got to the others. I do have all the books, love the movies and buy HP merchandise so one of these days, I’ll just marathon the entire series).
Last Time You Cried Reading a Book – Last time would be when I read A Short History of the Girl Next Door by Jared Reck. I just didn’t expect the plot twist and my heart broke into pieces. I literally had to stop reading a few times cause I was crying so much.

Number of Books on Your Bedside Table– I don’t really have a bedside table. I do have a small headboard bookcase. I think there’s about 10-15 books on it.
Favorite Reading Snack – If I’m craving something sweet, then definitely Chocolate Orange Milano Cookies or soft-baked chocolate chip cookies. If I’m craving something salty, then Kettle cooked Salt and Vinegar chips or regular Lays potato Chips.
3 Books You’d Recommend to Anyone – Definitely the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer, the Doon Series by Lorie Langdon and Carey Corp, and The Young Elites Series by Marie Lu.
A Picture of Your Favorite Bookshelf – Since my bookshelves look like a mess right now, here’s the last picture I took (on one side of my room) a few months ago. It hasn’t been this organized in a long time.

How Much Books Mean To You (in 3 words) – Books are MAGIC
Biggest Reading Secret – I really don’t like lending my books to ANYONE because I get so anxious and scared that my book will get dirty, damaged or worse. BUT I do let friends borrow… it just pains me a little bit… okay a lot actually. I just don’t like being separated from my loves.
Tagging these lovelies and anyone else who wants to do this!
Thanks for reading! Hope you have a wonderful day and if you’re celebrating Thanksgiving, then Gobble Gobble Gobble!
Sincerely Karen Jo
YOUR SHELVES ARE SO CUTE.
I’m in the middle of moving my reading room around so it’s a mess. I also hate lending out books. My mom is about the only person I’ll lend them to, and even then I get antsy. Thanks for the tag. ❤️

I haven’t finished the Harry Potter series either 😬 But I was considering tackling the test of them during the annual Harry Potter readathon! I think it’s in July?

I don’t really lend books either. If I’m going to let someone read one of my books, it has to be a book I don’t really care if I’m going to get back or not. Which, needless to say, is not very many books. I would rather buy someone a new copy and give it as a gift.

I’m just always scared they’ll mess it up, put stains on it, or leave it somewhere else. Gifting is a great idea! I’ve done that a few times too =)

I’m mostly afraid that I won’t get the book back. People aren’t very good borrowers.
