Goodreads Book Tag

 

It’s been a long time since I have done a tag, I find them fun to do but there is just not enough hours in my life to do everything I want to do.*sighs*

I haven’t been tagged by anyone but I saw Kendra @reads and treats post this tag and really wanted to do one myself….so here goes.

What was the last book you marked as ‘read’?

The Moonlight Dreamers by Siobhan Curham – This was a great story about unexpected friendships and it’s so honest and relatable. 4.25/5  stars Review here

What are you currently reading?

We Awaken by Calista Lynne – I am 50% of the way through this book. I was contacted by the author and asked if I would like to read this. The concept is great and whilst reading it, I keep expecting sexual tension and there is none because they are asexual and I just can’t get my head around it.

Whisper to be my Nick Lake – I am not very far into this book but I am enjoying what I am reading it so far…. I didn’t realise how dark it was going to be. This is quite a fast paced book so shouldn’t take long to read and also I won it in a Goodreads giveaway (I never win anything)

A Tyranny of Petticoats edited by Jessica Spotswood – I have been reading this for a while. I have only read the first story and didnt really like it so I have put it down and not picked it back up again.

What was the last book you marked as TBR?

I am always adding books to my TBR, it will never go down. I currently have over 1500 books on my list and it just keeps growing. I will put the last 3 books.

The Fireman by Joe Hill – Everyone seems to be really liking this book and when I read the synopsis I wanted to  read this myself.

Stolen by Lucy Christopher – I have heard such great things about this book and want to read it for myself.

Stolen Songbird by Danielle L Jensen – This fantasy story sounded like something I would like so I added it.

What book do you plan on reading next?

Once I have finished reading the three I am currently reading, I will be reading Baby doll by Hollie Overton but check back later in the month for my August TBR.

Do you use the star rating system?

Yep! I use the same as Goodreads except I do halves and sometimes quarters.

Are you doing a 2016 Reading Challenge?

Yep. I am currently 57/75 books so far which I am very happy about. I am reading more due to blogging. I am 15 books ahead of schedule. I may look and changing it soon. I wish I had done other challenges too,I will look out for these in 2017.

Do you have a wish list?

I have a wish list on Amazon but I don’t update that regularly.

What book do you plan to buy next?

Well I have just pre-ordered the illustrated edition of chamber of secrets….but my next purchase could be absolutely anything.

Do you have any favorite quotes? If so, share a few.

“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa

“If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.”
― Mark Twain

“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.”
― Elbert Hubbard

Who are your favorite authors?

This is difficult because I always try to read new authors, so I had a look on Goodreads and these are the authors where I have read most of their books.

From left to right we have: J.K Rowling,Philippa Greggory, Sophie Kinsella, Cecelia Ahern and John Green.

Now John Green isn’t one of my favourite authors it’s just I have read most of his books trying to find a good one… I don’t understand the hype surrounding this man and his books. They are just full of pretentious teenagers. The only book I haven’t read is looking for Alaska. Is there anyone else out there like me?

Have you joined any groups?

Yep, I have joined:

• Perustopia book club
• YA buddy’s reading corner
• Boxall’s 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die
• Top 5 Wednesday

Although I don’t use them as much as I should.

Who do you tag?

Anyone and everyone who would like to have a go.

 

Thanks for dropping by
