Hey guys! So today I was scrolling through some of the blogs I read when I saw the 15 Day Book Blogger Challenge. I decided that some of you guys might be interested so I decided to do it. It sounds like fun. Here it is:
So today is 15 book related confessions.
1.) I hate books that have to do with the main characters cheating. It will instantly get 2 stars. If a minor character is cheating then I don't really care.
2.) My books need to be in pristine condition if I buy them. I sort through all the books on the shelf looking for the one in perfect condition. I hate dog-earing.
3.) I'm really lazy about writing reviews. I have about 10 books I have to review right now, but I will get there eventually. I PROMISE!!
4.) My mother does not approve of my reading addiction. She yells at me every time I read. She says that she wouldn't yell at me if I read non-fiction but we both know that's not going to happen.
5.) Twilight is the book that really made me love to read, but I have always enjoyed it. I LOVE those books with a burning passion. I say loud and proud! For all those people who hate me for that, don't slam my books and I won't slam yours.
6.) Most my friends don't read. They actually despise it, but they always buy me books and B&N gift cards for my birthday. I love you guys!!
7.) I'm pretty sure I will pass out when I meet Stephanie Meyer or Cassandra Clare one day. They are my writing idols!!
8.) I have the Twilight Saga and the Harry Potter series on the same shelf...I've gotten a lot of hate for that.
9.) When I envision my characters they never have faces. They just have skin, unless I have seen the movie first then I see the faces.
10.) I refuse to go see the City of Bones movie this August because I hate the casting and the movie is going to be nowhere near as good as the book.
11.) I will read cliches because they are fun to read. I will never give them a 5 out of 5 stars but I 4 definitely. Cliches are cliches for a reason.
12.) I used to read the last page of the book then start from the beginning but then I started reading books with cliffhangers...#epicfail.
13.) I judge books on their covers. I don't like to read books with ugly covers because there are more than enough good books out there with beautiful covers.
14.) I am really obsessed with how my bookshelves look. I have to get it just perfect or I go crazy.
15.) I have a dream that I will marry the perfect guy and he will be so perfect that he will let me have my own room for which I can have a library in. He doesn't even have to like reading, as long as he lets me read.
That was actually I lot trickier than I would have thought.
What are your book confessions??
P.S. The Bloggy Awards have started and I would love it if you guys would nominate me!! No pressure though. Click here for more information.
#15 is FABULOUS.
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks! Even my Mom has warned me to talk to him about the library before we get married. I loved your 15 confessions!!
DeleteI am right there with you on #1. Can't handle it.
ReplyDeleteI am a hopeless romantic. If you want to be with someone else BREAK UP WITH THE OTHER FIRST!!!
DeleteHigh five for #5! I dream of #15 as well! Great confessions!!
ReplyDeleteBrittany @ Spare Time Book blog
*High five* Thanks!! 5 is kind of a pet peeve for me, but I'm glad you feel the same!!
Delete3. I'm the same!!!!! I need to do like a review-a-thon or something, haha.
ReplyDelete4. Oh, but reading is good!!
9. WHOA I just realized I kind of do this too :D
Great list! See you tomorrow!
Thanks!! Writing reviews is fun but it is a bit time consuming.
DeleteThat's exactly what I try to tel my mother but she says that too much of anything isn't good, except veggies.
The face thing is creepy but true.
#6 <--- Totally the same! I just make my boyfriend listen to all of my ramblings about the book and how crazy obsessed I'm with it hehe
ReplyDeleteGreat post!!

Thanks. Great blog!! I totally agree with the TBR thing. Life needs to be longer, or the afterlife better have books.
DeleteI think there's definitely guys out there who are okay with a room specifically dedicated to books. I know my boyfriend is.
ReplyDeleteAlso!
I hope you get to meet Cassie Clare and Stephanie Meyers some day.
It's awesome that your friends still support your reading even though they aren't into it.
Hopefully I find an awesome guy like your boyfriend. All my past boyfriends hated to read.
DeleteIf I meet Cassie and Stephanie I will die happy, nothing will ruin my life after that.
My friends are totally awesome and I love them so much!! Life would be nothing without friends. <3
I had a hard time coming up with fifteen things too. I love your last one...I don't need him to be obsessed like I am, but it would be nice if he just let me be me. Sounds like you have great friends! Great list!
ReplyDeleteI also have Twilight and Harry Potter on the same shelf. And I found my man from #15, I have a room with all of my books and he has offered to buy me as many bookcases that will make me happy. Slowly I am turning it into a library. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
I love #15. We have a small spare bedroom that houses books but I wouldn't call it a library. My brother-in-law lives in the basement when he's not away at college. One day he's going to get his own place and I'm eyeing it for a library.
