Book Tag: Are You on Santa’s Naughty List or Nice List?

I was tagged by Gayathri @ Elgee Writes. Thank you! The Bookish Naughty or Nice Tag was created by Jenniely @ A Page of Jenniely.

I know Christmas was a couple of days ago, but I’m doing this tag anyway. It’s never too late to start thinking about Christmas. On to the tag!

Received an ARC and didn’t review it

Guilty in previous years and this year. I have one left from NetGalley that I plan to read, eventually.

Naughty

Have less than 66% feedback rating on NetGalley

I’m at 88%, but that’s based on 8 titles that I’ve been approved for. No badge for me yet.

Nice

Rated a book on Goodreads and promised a full review was to come on my blog (and never posted it)

I’ve done this. I’m trying to update Goodreads with my reviews from this year, but I haven’t finished that yet.

Naughty

Folded Down the Page of a Book

I haven’t done it this year or the past several years. But I did when I was in junior high and elementary school.

Nice

Accidentally spilled on a book

Yeah… I did. I still feel guilty about it.

Naughty

DNF a book this year

I refuse to see this as a bad thing anymore. It’s not worth the time to trudge through a book that you aren’t interested in anymore or have come to hate.

As it stands, yes, I have done this multiple times this year. The most recent was Madness by Zac Brewer.

Naughty

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

I usually want to read the pretty books because of the content. I haven’t done that this year.

Nice

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

A lot of my homework is reading. But I do read when I should be doing something else.

Naughty

Skim read a book

Up until Thursday, I hadn’t done that this year. I ended up doing that to Merciless, by Danielle Vega, before putting it in the donation pile.

Naughty

Completely missed your Goodreads goal

Nope. I reached my goal in October.

Nice

Borrowed a book and not returned it

Never!

Nice

Broke a book buying ban

Can’t break something you haven’t had.

Nice

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

I have good intentions. I try to write enough of a review or notes to leave it alone for a while if I’m not having inspiration, but it does happen.

Naughty

Wrote in a book you were reading

Not in physical books, but this only applies to physical books anyway. It is, however, highly recommended that you do this when you’re an English major, but I use sticky notes for these.

Nice

Finished a book and not added it to your Goodreads

As far as I know, I haven’t done this year.

Nice

>^..^<

So, I’m 53% nice. No coal for me, assuming Santa weighs each of these equally.
