The Guilty Reader Book Tag
HAVE YOU EVER REGIFTED A BOOK YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN?
I find that I hardly ever want to read a book that someone gives to me. While I SO appreciate the kind gesture, choosing a book to read is such a personal decision. Rarely are books given to me that are actually books I want to read! I don’t gift them to others for this exact reason but I do try my best to find them good homes. I give away my books during my annual garage sale and I LOVE to donate to Little Free Libraries.
HAVE YOU EVER SAID YOU’VE READ A BOOK WHEN YOU HAVEN’T?
Nope! In case you haven’t yet figured it out…I really, really love to read 😉
HAVE YOU EVER BORROWED A BOOK AND NOT RETURNED IT?
No but people have done this to me and it’s AWFUL. If you borrow a book from someone, please always return it! I’ve actually recently stopped loaning out my books because of exactly this.
HAVE YOU EVER READ A SERIES OUT OF ORDER?
Only once and it was a total mistake! I read THIS BOOK and only when I finished did I realize it’s #2 in a series. Oops. I loved that book so much that I must go back and read book #1 at some point! I’ve heard it’s wonderful!
HAVE YOU EVER SPOILED A BOOK FOR SOMEONE?
NO NO NO NO NO. NEVER EVER. NOT EVEN ONE TIME. HELL NO. HARD PASS. You can read more about my thoughts on this and why I will NEVER spoil anything on my blog (or in my life) HERE.
HAVE YOU EVER DOG EARED A BOOK?
Every single day, lol. Read about it HERE.
HAVE YOU EVER TOLD SOMEONE YOU DON’T OWN A BOOK WHEN YOU DO?
Nope!
HAVE YOU EVER TOLD SOMEONE YOU HAVEN’T READ A BOOK WHEN YOU HAVE?
Ummm why would anyone do that?
HAVE YOU EVER SKIPPED A CHAPTER OR A SECTION OF A BOOK?
NEVER. I read every single word every single time. I see other bloggers who say things like, “I skimmed the middle few chapters” and it blows my mind every single time. Why read a book just to skip over parts of it? If you do this, I’d love hear your reasoning!
HAVE YOU EVER BAD MOUTHED A BOOK YOU ACTUALLY LIKED?
No but if you read my blog for any length of time than you are WELL aware that I have bad mouthed plenty of books that I hated, lol. I pride myself on always sharing my truest feelings on books…good and bad! For example, my review of one of the worst books that I have ever read can be found HERE.

I don’t understand how people skim read books. I feel like I would miss something important if I did that.

Skipping chapters. Yup. It all depends on the writing. If it’s well written then I can’t afford to skip a thing. If it isn’t well written, I can skip every other chapter and find I haven’t missed anything important. There are usually enough clues and recaps to catch me up on what’s happened in the story. In this case it would be a waste of time to read every word. I’m inclined, though, to want to read every word and it’s funny when I find myself saying, what are you doing, you don’t have time for this? My favorite books are the ones where I must read every word. Unfortunately, books are like people, sometimes they talked long and didn’t say much.
