Bookish Naughty or Nice Tag

bookishnaughtyornic

Hello again my bookish friends! I saw this book tag from Kris at Bostonbookreader and thought — it’s short and looks fun, so why not do it. Not like I don’t have a ton of reading to do, or reviews to finish… Anway, let’s get to it!

The creator of this tag is Jenn, and you should totally check out her post and lovely blog HERE.


RULES:

  • Credit the person who tagged you and link their post
  • Tag the original creator and their post
  • Tick the ones you’ve done (BOLDED)
  • Cross the ones you haven’t (ITALICIZED)
  • Tag more bloggers

QUESTIONS:

1.) Received an ARC and not reviewed it. — I may be extremely behind, but I always review ARCs when I receive them for that purpose. The ones I get from giveaways or book festivals … I may or may not review them, but I’ll definitely and eventually read them.

2.) Have less than 60% feedback rating on Netgalley. — And I just requested and got approved for more… I’m now down to 47%.

3.) Rated a book on GoodReads and promised a full review was to come on your blog. Since I started my blog May 2017.. I would have to say no. I’ve been really good at adding my reviews even if it’s really late

4.) Folded down the page of a book  — NEVER!

5.) Accidentally spilled on a book. — Also, NEVER. I don’t put my drinks any where near my books for this reason.

6.) DNF a book this year — So far this year, NOPE.

7.) Bought a book purely because it was pretty with no intention of reading it?  Of course! I love pretty book covers so I probably have a few of these.

8.) Read whilst you were meant to be doing something else (like homework) All the time!

9.) Skim read a book — Not the whole book, but I have skim read a chapter or two… then I ended up going back and rereading haha.

10.) Completely missed your GoodReads goal  Guilty! I always start with a big goal and about half way through the year when I’m a bit behind, I lower it down.  Last year, I had originally planned on reading 100 and then changed it to 80. Just so much other stuff happened that I didn’t have enough reading time.

11.) Borrowed a book and not returned it. Does it count if I didn’t want to borrow it, but my friend wanted me to read it?!? Cause she lent me her book in high school and I told her I would read it eventually… Well we went off to college, started adulting, and I still have not read that book. I don’t even know where it is.

12.) Broke a book buying ban  All THE TIME!!! I don’t even know why I torture myself. It never works haha.

13.) Started a review, left it for ages then forgot what the book was about — Maybe a few weeks and even a month, but not forever. I have a basic draft and some notes on what I want in my review and then I edit until I like the way it sounds.

14.) Wrote in a book you were reading — Yes.. but not since high school. Part of my homework for English class was to analyze and annotate the books we were reading. It was actually fun.

15.) Finished a book and not added it to your GoodReads — I may forget for a few days or so, but I eventually add them.


NOW IT’S YOUR TURN!!!

Have fun!

Favorite Quotes Fridays

favequotesfridays

Hello Bookish friends! Time for another  Favorite Quotes Fridays, which is a weekly segment that features 2-3 of my favorite quotes from a book I’ve read and loved. For my pick this week, I’m choosing a book series that absolutely drove me crazy… but in a good way. I always say I have love/hate relationship with this series because I remember feeling so frustrated I wanted to throw a tantrum and scream, but at the same time I could not stop reading.


 

 

 

 

 

Tada!! The Selection Series by Kiera Cass made me FEEL SO MUCH and at the end of it all… I really enjoyed and had fun. Maxon… where do I even begin. He’s an absolute sweetheart and so swoon-worthy! (Featuring him for tomorrow’s Swoony Saturdates).


quotes

 

“America Singer, one day you will fall asleep in my arms every night. And you’ll wake up to my kisses every morning.” 

“Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyway.”

“I want everything with you, America. I want the holidays and the birthdays, the busy season and lazy weekends. I want peanut butter fingertips on my desk. I want inside jokes and fights and everything. I want a life with you.” 

“You are not the world, but you are everything that makes the world good. Without you, my life would still exist, but that’s all it would manage to do.”

“If you don’t want me to be in love with you, you’re going to have to stop looking so lovely. First thing tomorrow I’m having your maids sew some potato sacks together for you.” 

“I’ll love you until my very last breath. Every beat of my heart is yours. I don’t want to die without you knowing that.”


Okay okay, I know I have more than 3 quotes here, but seriously… if these quotes doesn’t make you swoon, then I don’t know what will. I’m completely having some FEELS here just doing this…really missed how much this series made my emotions go crazy!  I think I need to reread this series again… and really soon.


Have you read this book? What did you think? Let me know in the comments!

Hope you enjoyed this week’s Favorite Quotes Fridays! Have a lovely weekend everyone!
