I came across this tag over on Ally Writes Things, and she was nice enough to leave it open-ended to anyone could join in! I love me some book tags (what?! me?! No way!) so obviously I need to participate!

Received an ARC and not reviewed it.

Oh, for sure. I end up on a lot of book tours and such, so I often get books to feature but I can’t possibly read them all!

---

Have less than 60% feedback rating on NetGalley.

Despite my recent neglect of my NetGalley shelf, I am still sitting at 74%. I have come SO CLOSE to the elusive 80% goal a few times this year, but have yet to achieve it!

---

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

All the time! I am super bad about doing reviews – getting my thoughts in order is tough and I feel like I can’t just do review posts where I’m like “SO GOOD. MUCH WOW. ALL THE FEELS” all the time.

---

Folded down the page of a book.

I do this sometimes but ONLY in paperback books. I don’t know why I am cool with it in paperbacks but not hardcovers, but there we have it.

---

Accidentally spilled on a book.

Only a very small amount! Sometimes I snack while reading and little bits might hit the page. Never anything very noticeable, though.

---

DNF a book this year.

I don’t keep track of my DNF’s (maybe I should?) but I am pretty sure I had one or two this year. Between being very picky about what I read and also being too stubborn to put a book down, I rarely DNF.

---

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

Yup. I have definitely done this. Well…I might lie to myself and say that I will get to it someday, but really I just wanted it for the cover. This is a side effect of Bookstagramming, and also running a monthly photo challenge that involves a color week – yellow books are hard to find, ya’ll!!

---

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

If you say you have never done this, you are a liar.

---

Skim read a book.

Parts, but never a whole book. If you skim the whole thing, what’s even the point? Just DNF it if it can’t hold your attention.

---

Completely missed your Goodreads goal.

No. Okay…so Goodreads will say otherwise, but I used to be SO BAD about actually logging my reads. But I know the rate as which I read, so I am confident I have always hit my goals even when I haven’t logged them into the system. Furthermore, in the years since I started becoming obsessive about logging my reads, I have always exceeded my GR goal!

---

Borrowed a book and not returned it to the library.

So I have never been a library person. Crazy, I know, but I have always loved owning my books.

---

Broke a book buying ban.

Oh, totally. I am VERY good at justifying purchases to myself.

---

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

Yes and no? So I definitely have unfinished reviews that will never be finished because the details have faded. But I have yet to start a review and then completely forgotten the book. That being said, I have definitely completely forgotten I’ve read books before, and then Goodreads or Amazon has enlightened me otherwise.

I’m going to count this as a no, since the specific question is about reviews.

---

Written in a book you were reading.

Of course! Not all the time, but I do have some books that I own copies specifically for the reason of having it to take notes in! My pride and joy is my VERY well loved copy of The Poisonwood Bible, which I have had since the summer of 2003 (pre-reading for my senior-year AP English class). There is scarcely a page that isn’t notated or flagged or both. I still count TPB as my favorite book ever.

---

Finished a book and not added it to your Goodreads.

YEARS ago, perhaps. But definitely not since I actually started tracking my reading. I’m going to call this one a no.

---

Borrowed a book and not returned it to a friend.

I can’t think of the last time I borrowed a book from someone. Again, I am that person who needs to own all the books, and I also don’t like the responsibility of borrowing from someone else.

---

Dodged someone asking if they can borrow a book.

For sure. I have a VERY select group that I will lend books to, and even then I would rather buy them their own copy rather than lend out mine!

---

Broke the spine of someone else’s book.

No. Again, I don’t borrow books!

---

Took the jacket off a book to protect it and ended up making it more damaged.

I don’t think so! Not that I can recall, anyway.

---

Sat on a book accidentally.

For sure. But never to the point of damaging it.

---
