I'm not either. LOL! When I finish this book up (it's sooooooooooooooo sooooooooooooooooooooo sooooooooooooooooo boring, it'll be my first task of Ch 8, so I still have more to do.I should finish it up today / tomorrow at the latest, but I'll hold off on posting Ch 9 and get it up next week, since everyone is probably busy elsewhere.
Tati wrote: "Does someone who is abusive work for the cruel character task?"Yup, I say it sure does.
I'm so naughty!! hehe! Didn't need this to tell me that tho. ;)
Received an ARC and not reviewed it Sadly, when it comes to NetGalley and my ARCs from there, I'm woefully behind, both on reading and on reviewing. I keep saying I'll get around to it, and I did do a few, but not nearly enough!
Have less than 60% feedback rating on NetgalleySadly, I do. :( Currently it is 53%. If I get it up to 60% I won't be Bookishly Naughty anymore? :)
Rated a book on GR & said a full review to come on your blog (and never did)See the first two answers. Too often I rate the book then say "review to come" and I don't go back to do it. I need to get better with that!
Folded down the page of a bookYAY!! I have not. :) I don't read real books, but even if I did, I haven't done that since I was a child. Nope!
Accidentally spilled on a bookNope! Of course I only use a Tablet so if I did, it wouldn't have mattered. Something did get on my mini recently, but I forget what it was. No books were harmed!
DNF a book this yearI have! Crappy books are crappy books. A few I DNF'd this year: Above the Bridge / Dayworld / Carnivalesque / The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic
Bought a book purely because it was pretty with no intention of reading itNope!
Read whilst you were meant to be doing something else (like homework)Well, no homework here, but I've read instead of doing chores that I was supposed to be doing, so I guess that counts.
Skim read a bookYup, but not toooo tooooo many. Thankfully I listen to mostly audiobooks so can't skim those at all. :)
Completely missed your Goodreads goalYup!! Had it set for 300 this year, and will only hit 260. I did much more gaming than I thought I would this year, because of Overwatch and especially Fortnite,
Borrowed a book and not returned itNope! I lost all my Harry Potters and my signed copy of Kingdom Keepers to some one, I would never do that to anyone, not that I'd borrow anything anymore anyways.
Broke a book buying banNope, never had one.
Started a review, left it for ages then forgot what the book was aboutYup, see my first few posts. That's why I haven't done more, I'm feeling like I need to re-read some.
Wrote in a book you were readingNope, but again, ebooks and audiobooks only. But I didn't even do that as a child.
Finished a book and not added it to your GoodreadsAdding it to Goodreads is what I do regularly. Might not review it, or do more than a few sentences, but I always get it on there!!
So glad you are feeling better Plethora!! :)Hey Lauri, I read The Magic Misfits and I LOOOOVED it. It was such a cute book! I loved the characters and I liked the story a lot. The only parts I really didn't care for was actual instructions for magic tricks, but other than that, the book was great. I even put it onto my Best Book of the Year Bracket as a last minute addition, and it made it to the Round of 16.
Really cute book, thanks for getting me to read it sooner than later!
Round of 8I'm gonna redo this for my blog, make a few tweaks when I post it, the final 8 would definitely be different had some been moved around. The final 4 would remain the same tho.

If I were you, I'd redo the whole bracket. LMAO! That's some awful choices. :/ Better you than me. hehehehe!! ;) Heck, I'm tempted to redo two of my brackets (swapping books around between them) and NONE of them are quite as good as half of your Bracket C!
You're Bracket C SUCKS Angie!! I'd have those for in my final 8 at least, and 3 of the 4 in the final 4! Good luck with that one! LOL!! Danielle: So glad GZoC is still in the running, though bummed to see The Crucifix Killer get bumped out. Will be curious to see how far GZoC & RPO get! :)
Jenny & Sandy, are you having an easy or hard time determining your brackets? :) I only read 6 of your initial 64, Jenny. And for you Sandy, I only read 1 (Wizard of Oz) of your list of 32.
Cayleigh, you still with us? Ora, did you ever get yours down to 64? :)
Round of 16My Round of 16. My list was mostly randomized so I wasn't too pleased with 1 individual bracket for this one. A few books that had to be left behind in the round would have easily beat out either of the two in the individual bracket. Ah well.

I'm still on the last chapter as well. I haven't been reading very much lately! I could move on after this book, but it may still be a few days because its a 16 hour audiobook.
