I’ve seen this bookish naughty or nice tag floating around a lot recently and was so happy to see that Stephen had tagged me!
RULES
- Tag & link the person who tagged you
- Tag and link me/this post
- Tick/cross off the ones you’ve done
- Tag another 10 people!
1. Received an ARC and not reviewed it ✅
First one and I’m already guilty. I have a couple ARCs from when I very first started blogging that I haven’t read and reviewed yet. These days, though, I make sure to review every ARC I get within a reasonable amount of time.
2. Have less than 60% feedback rating on Netgalley ❌
Nope! My feedback ratio is currently 98% and it would be higher if I submitted some recent reviews.
3. Rated a book on Goodreads and promised a full review was to come on your blog (and never did) ✅
I’m better about this now, but I used to be very bad about promising full reviews and never posting them.
4. Folded down the page of a book ❌
No!
5. Accidentally spilled on a book ❌
I have never spilled on a book, but I have accidentally dropped a book in the bath.
6. DNF a book this year ✅
I rarely DNF, but I have DNFed two books this year.
7. Bought a book purely because it was pretty with no intention of reading it ❌
I have bought books purely because they’re pretty, but I always intend to read them eventually.
8. Read whilst you were meant to be doing something else (like homework) ✅
Yes, absolutely. I read while I should be doing many other things.
9. Skim read a book ✅
I’m definitely guilty of skimming if I’m not really into a book! (Or if I’m slogging through a boring section.)
10. Completely missed your Goodreads goal ❌
Nope! I like to set my Goodreads goal as something I can really easily achieve, otherwise I get stressed out that I’m not reading enough.
11. Borrowed a book and not returned it ❌
I assume we’re talking about the library here since there’s a question a little later about borrowing from friends. I have never not returned a book to the library, although one time in middle school I did forget that I had a book checked out for several months. (I eventually returned it, though.)
12. Broke a book buying ban ✅
Yes, all the time. I have no self-control when it comes to books.
13. Started a review, left it for ages then forgot what the book was about ✅
I had this problem a lot a couple years ago when I would procrastinate on writing reviews until weeks after finishing the book. Now I try to write the review immediately so that this doesn’t happen.
14. Wrote in a book you were reading ❌
I have never written in the actual book, but I do often write on sticky notes.
15. Finished a book and not added it to your Goodreads ❌
Nope, every book I read goes on my Goodreads.
16. Borrowed a book and not returned it to a friend ✅
A friend? No. My uncle? Yes. (Sorry.)
17. Dodged someone asking if they can borrow a book ❌
No, I have no problem with lending my books.
18. Broke the spine of someone else’s book ❌
Never!
19. Took the jacket off a book to protect it and ended up making it more damaged ✅
Unfortunately, yes.
20. Sat on a book accidentally ✅
Yes.
FINAL SCORE: 10/20

High five on great NetGalley ratio! I’m too paranoid to ever let it fall I tend to read galleys as soon as I get them!

Me too! The ARCs I haven’t reviewed are physical. I think I have one ARC on Netgalley that I haven’t reviewed and the publication date is still a few months away.

This is such a fun tag! I also like to set my Goodreads goal as an achievable one (this year mine was one book lol). Happy holidays!
