I recently re-discovered bookish tags on blogs ( though some lovely book bloggers I follow on twitter). While I was wondering which one to do, I got tagged by Leah to do this one, which originally was started by Jenn.
The rules -
Rules Tag & link the person who tagged you
Tag and link back to the original post by Jenn
Tick/cross off the ones you’ve done
Tag 10 people to join in!
Even if you weren't tagged by anyone, just join in!
1. Received an ARC and not reviewed it ✔
Yes, My NetGalley dashboard is clear evidence of this. Never done this with books that come from the author/publisher directly though.
2. Have less than 60% feedback rating on NetGalley ✔
I have never able to cross even 50% *hides behind the book pile*
3. Rated a book on Goodreads and promised a full review was to come on your blog (and never did)
I *never* make such promises knowing that I may or may not write a blog post about the book.
4. Folded down the page of a book
Nopes. One thing I never do to books.
5. Accidentally spilled on a book
Never. Don't attempt to eat or drink absentmindedly if I am reading.
6. DNF a book this year ✔
I consider them to be postponed perhaps. But you never know ;)
7. Bought a book purely because it was pretty with no intention of reading it
No. I don't pick ugly covers but I won't buy only for pretty ones either.
8. Read whilst you were meant to be doing something else (like homework) ✔
I have read while I am meant to do everything else - Work, chores, eat, sleep, meet friends or even pamper my husband .. you get the drift :D
9. Skim read a book ✔
Mostly romance/erotica. I skip the sex scenes after the first one.
10. Completely missed your Goodreads goal ✔
Only once. In 2012 [Dont know how that happened ]
11. Borrowed a book and not returned it to the library
No. won't happen.
12. Broke a book buying ban ✔
What ban? *looks at the 3 books I bought today*
13. Started a review, left it for ages then forgot what the book was about ✔
Yeah. That's why I do not promise to review every book I read.
14. Wrote in a book you were reading ✔
I do not mind writing in books. I sometimes leave notes for the person in books I gift or ask people to do the same for me.
15. Finished a book and not added it to your Goodreads
Never happened since I started using Goodreads.
16. Borrowed a book and not returned it to a friend
No. I borrow rarely and often it becomes a gift :D
17. Dodged someone asking if they can borrow a book
No. I would be happy if someone borrows a book I own and reads it. More the merrier.
18. Broke the spine of someone else’s book
Not a chance.
19. Took the jacket off a book to protect it and ended up making it more damaged
No way!
20. Sat on a book accidentally ✔
When you are surrounded by books, that can happen. Right?
Final Score: 9 /20
Did I just dodge being on the naughty list! phew!
Where's my reward?

Yay! I knew you’d be on the nice list!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of considering a DNF a "postponed" read. I have "postponed" a couple this year, though I'm not sure if i'll return to them.
ReplyDeleteLoved reading your answers!
