• Received an ARC and not reviewed it  

I received 3 ARCs this year and reviewed them all….one I only got halfway through before I couldn’t do it anymore, but I still sent Netgalley a review saying why I didn’t finish it, and put it on Goodreads, so I say that counts!

Have less than 60% feedback rating on Netgalley

Nope, I’ve maintained 100%! But then again, I’ve only ever been approved for like 5 ARCs so it wasn’t particularly hard. I’ve kind of given up requesting because I’m never approved for the things I really want to read, and everything I have been approved for has been……bad. And when I feel obligated to read and review things I get rebellious and don’t want to, and it makes it less fun somehow. I tried the ARC life…and it’s just not for me.

• Rated a book on Goodreads and promised a full review was to come on your blog (and never did)

I don’t think so….I review most books I read, but I can usually tell when I don’t want to review a book, so I won’t promise one if I know I won’t!

• Folded down the page of a book

I don’t think so! This year I put all my bookmarks into a mug next to my bed so I’ve increased my usage of them 🙂

• Accidentally spilled on a book

NO. BUT IF I DID THAT WOULD BREAK MY HEART.

• DNF a book this year 

I did! But is that naughty? I never liked DNFing before, but I’ve grown more lenient this year. It’s because once I got my new job and my time became more limited, I wanted to use it enjoy what I’m reading- reading bad things feels more like a waste now that my free time is PRECIOUS.

• Bought a book purely because it was pretty with no intention of reading it

No matter how pretty a book is……I’ve got to be wanting to read it in order to invest the money.

• Read whilst you were meant to be doing something else (like homework) 

Lol of course.

• Skim read a book 

I’ve skimmed the ends of books.

• Completely missed your Goodreads goal

Nope! I actually beat it by 56% :O I’ve read 78/50 books so far…..dare I make it to 80 before the year is up?

• Borrowed a book and not returned it

Well I still have some that have been lent to me, but I WILL return them…eventually. So I guess not guilty, since I don’t plan on hoarding them away?

• Broke a book buying ban

I’ve never really put an Official Ban on myself, but I think I made it about 3 months after Christmas last year without buying anything, but since I was trying to see how long I could last rather than setting boundaries, I guess I didn’t really “break” it.

• Started a review, left it for ages then forgot what the book was about

I usually write my reviews within two or three weeks at the latest after finishing a book, so no!

• Wrote in a book you were reading 

Yep.

• Finished a book and not added it to your Goodreads

I don’t think so!! I like to keep track so I don’t usually forget.

4/15!!! I guess I made it on the nice list?? AMAZING.

Since I wasn’t tagged, I’ll let you guys decide if you’d like to do it! It’s fun! And if I don’t post for the next few days….Merry Christmas, happy holidays, have fun celebrating whatever you celebrate, or just have a great day!
