The Guilty Reader Tag

So the guilty reader tag has been going around booktube for a while now, and I have always been interested in the questions so thought that I would do it myself although I wasn't tagged. The Guilty Reader Tag was created by Chami at ReadLikeWildfire where you can see the original so let's get started...

1. Have You Ever Regifted A Book That You’ve Been Given?
No, I don't think so. I don't tend to give people books that I have been given but if I don't like a book that someone has given to me I will probably give it to charity.

2. Have you ever said you’ve read a book when you haven’t?

No, I don't think so. If someone asks me, I will probably not say anything rather than say I have read the book.

3. Have you ever borrowed a book and not returned it?

Again, I don't think I have. People have done it to me which is probably why I don't do it as I know the pain of losing a book so no...

4. Have you ever read a series out of order?

Cherry Heaven
OK, so I have actually done this. Back in the day when I didn't know about YA, I picked up a book called Cherry Heaven by Lucy Adlington and I remember being really confused while reading the story so of course when I remembered the book I added it on Goodreads as you do and discovered that this was the second book in a series. It all makes sense now. This is all so weird as I interviewed Lucy Adlington a few weeks ago so...









5. Have you ever spoiled a book for someone?

The shame! So yes, I actually have spoiled Mockingjay for someone. Basically, they were reading it and as everyone knows, there are many deaths in this book and they asked me if someone died and I said I couldn't remember but I did spoil a death that happens about halfway through, they just hadn't got there yet... No, I am not spoiling it again!











6. Have you ever doggy eared a book?

Yes, I do it all the time and I don't have a problem with it. I did it a couple of days ago, it tends to be when I don't have a bookmark to hand though...

7. Have you ever told someone you don’t own a book when you do?
No, not initially but in the moment if I forget that I own a book maybe but no. 

8. Have you ever told someone you haven’t read a book when you have?

No. I went through a Twilight phrase. I still own the books and I don't really care what people think so yeah. I probably will not get rid of them soon so you know if you read you should be proud that read no matter what it is!

9. Have you ever skipped a chapter or a section of a book?

Recently I skipped a section of The November Criminals by Sam Munson and it featured almost a page of Holocaust jokes so as you do you skip them but not a chapter or section. I have a habit of reading dialogue over the long description and this is something that I need to teach myself out of. 

10. Have you ever bad mouthed a book you actually liked?

No, I don't think so. Be proud of what you read!

Do you consider yourself a guilty reader? Have you done this tag?

See you soon, 

Amy

My Reading Tastes Are Changing

For the last couple of years, I feel like this has become a reoccurring blog post but I want to talk about it now because I think something is actually happening in my reading life. My reading tastes are changing. I've felt it for a while. I haven't really been drawn to YA titles that much anymore especially contemporary. Being busy in my time, I have been really selective in the books that I pick up so for me: the shorter, the better. And when picking up shorter books, the less likely they are to be YA. The more I am exposed to more books, the more I get to read books that I connect to Some of the books that I have picked up have really surprised me because of how much I ended up enjoying them. I think as I grow older, I am looking for different stories, different experiences and different perspectives. These don't just fit the YA mould. I also have been really into different genres like horror and the occasional thriller which have not read from before and I'm interes

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

   * I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. * Title: The Great Godden  Author: Meg Rossoff Publisher: Bloomsbury  Source: NetGalley ( Bookshop UK |  Hive |  Goodreads  |  Storygraph ) Book Summary: Everyone talks about falling in love like it’s the most miraculous, life-changing thing in the world. Something happens, they say, and you know … That’s what happened when I met Kit Godden. I looked into his eyes and I knew. Only everyone else knew too. Everyone else felt exactly the same way. This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer – the summer when everything changes. In a holiday house by the sea, our watchful narrator sees everything, including many things they shouldn’t, as their brother and sisters, parents and older cousins fill hot days with wine and games and planning a wedding. Enter two brothers – irresistible, charming, languidly sexy Kit and surly, silent Hugo. Suddenly there’s
