Hey!
It’s been quite a while since I’ve done a tag, so I decide that today was the day. I’m not sure where this tag originated from (if you know, feel free to let me know, so I can credit!), but I seen one of my friends answer these questions in in their journal and decided to do it on my blog. It’s a Goodreads survey (or tag), so all my answers go along with what I have on my Goodreads account and speaking of Goodreads, feel free to add me as a friend. 🙂 Here are the questions & answers:
What are the five newest additions to your to-read list?
I have two shelves of books that have books that I want to read and these are just from the books that I do NOT own yet.
Something is Killing the Children by James Tynion IV
The Aosawa Murders by Riku Onda
Love, Creekwood by Becky Albertalli
Bridge of Souls by Victoria Schwab
The Cat I Never Named by Amra Sabic-El-Rayess
What are the five oldest additions to your to-read list?
I have two shelves of books that have books that I want to read and these are just from the books that I do NOT own yet.
The Art of Being Normal by Lisa Williamson
Willful Machines by Tim Floreen
Blood Red Road by Moira Young
Lamb to the Slaughter by Karen Ann Hopkins
The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley by David Shaun Hutchison
How many books do you have listed as read?
I currently have 594 books marked as “read”! That’s pretty crazy to me, honestly. A little shocked that I have read almost 600 books. Blogging definitely helped with that, because before I started blogging I wasn’t reading nearly as much as I do now.
How many books are in your to-read-list?
I have two different shelves of books to read, so total together I have 1089 books on my to-read list. I know I probably won’t get to the majority of them in my lifetime, haha. I kind of want to go through my Goodreads shelf at some point this year and remove some. I actually think that is one of my goals for this year that I talked about back in January.
Are there any authors who are more heavily represented in your have read list?
A few authors that I have read a lot of books from are Rick Riordan, Mitch Albom, and Colleen Hoover.
Are there any authors who are more heavily represented in your to-read list?
A few authors that I want to read a lot of their books are Morgan Matson and Kasie West. I own a lot of their books and haven’t read them and the ones that I don’t own, I have them marked on my “to-read” shelf.
How do you sort your books?
I have a few shelves that I sort my books into. I have the standard “read” shelf and then I make shelves each year for audiobooks that I’ve listened to. That way I know what was audiobook and what was not. I have the standard “want to read” shelf and then I have another shelf I created called “TBR books I own” of the books that I want to read that I own.
Do you participate in the 2020 reading challenge?
Yes, I am participating in the 2020 reading challenge. I currently have my challenge set to read 50 books this year. It was 60 at the beginning of the year but I had to lower it, because I haven’t really been reading as much as I usually do.
Do you participate in any discussion groups?
Nope, I don’t think I have ever participated in the discussion groups on Goodreads before.
How many books have you read so far this year?
So far, I have read 17 books. 16 books I read myself and one audiobook. I’m actually kind of bummed that I haven’t read more books this year. I guess 17 is still decent though and the year is not over!
How many books are you currently reading?
I am currently only reading one book, which is Jack of Hearts (and Other Parts) by Lev A.C. Rosen. So far, I really like it.
Do you write reviews? Do you read reviews?
I write reviews on my blog and then I copy them over to Goodreads afterward. I do sometimes read reviews too.
Any other Goodreads feature you use?
I don’t really use many of the Goodreads features other than rating books, shelving books, and sometimes the Giveaway page.
Do you follow any interesting authors or other people worth mentioning?
I don’t know? Haha. I just follow some of my favorite authors over there like Rick Riordan, Mitch Albom, Colleen Hoover, Veronica Roth, and Morgan Rhodes.
This was a lot of fun to do and I would love to see your answers as well. So, if you want to do this tag, feel free to link me to your posts. || Hopefully, I will catch up with your posts and reply to comments this weekend. 🙂 I am hoping to finish my current read today (or tomorrow), so I want to spend some time reading today. If I can get this finished, maybe I will have time to squeeze in one more book before the end of the month. *fingers crossed*
In case you missed it;
TTT|| Books I Enjoyed but Rarely Talk About.
I hope you have a great day and weekend!
Love this tag!! I have my challenge set to 100 books this year. Which is doable, since I’m already at 71, thanks to staying at home during this pandemic. I read 1574 books on GR, since I started my GR journey, and I have 172 books on my want-to-read list. 😀
Wow, that’s amazing that you’re already at 71! I guess this pandemic is good for one thing, haha. 😜 That’s really cool that you’ve read 1500+ books on Goodreads.
The Art of Being Normal used to be on my TBR, too. I took it off at some point and can’t remember why.
I have no idea if I will ever get around to reading The Art of Being Normal, honestly. It sounds good though.
Brdige of Souls! Bridge of Souls!!! Very excited!!! I loved the first two books and want to get myself the third one asap.
I can’t wait to read Bridge of Souls! This series is so good. Happy to see you love it too! 🙂
Fun tag! I really enjoyed Jack of Hearts, so I’m glad you like it so far. I have so many books on my to-read list (these are books I don’t own but want to read) and I try and weed some out here and there. haha

I’m happy to see that you enjoyed Jack of Hearts too. I didn’t want it to end! I loved Jack’s character. I need to weed out some books too. Just way too many!
