The Prompts:

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Read a later book in a series before the first

I have done this once and it was a total accident. It was years ago before I was blogging. I had won a GR giveaway and it was for book two. I had NO idea until I was half way through the book and so confused. I ended up finishing it and enjoying it though. haha

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Burned a book

No, I have never burned a book. There’s some that I have really disliked but I don’t think I could ever actually burn it. There are some politician books that I could probably burn without any guilt though. lol

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Gone into a shop to buy one book and come out with many more… 

This is pretty much impossible?! Has anyone ever gone in and just bought one book? Unless you are rushing in to grab the sequel after you just finished the previous and were rushed? Lol

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Loved a book when I was younger and hated it when I was older

Yeah… I re-read Little Women, which I loved when I was younger. This go around, I struggled with it and did not enjoy it as much as I did before.

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Read a book I knew I’d hate

Why would anyone do this? There are too many books and not enough time as it is! I could never read a book that I knew I would hate.

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Wrote a fanfiction about my favorite book

Nope. I haven’t ever written fan-fic but I have read some that other’s have written.

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Dressed up as my favorite literary characters

I have not done this. I would like to at some point! I will probably do so when my kiddo has stuff going on at school.

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Hated a book by an author I love

Oh, this has happened. It’s so sad but I just tell myself that they can’t all be winners. At some point, there’s going to be one that’s a huge miss. I’m actually not going to talk about the author or book because I don’t like to hate on either one!

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Skim read a book

Yes. I did this last night, actually. I had an arc that was a STRUGGLE. I was buddy reading it and ended up skimming the last half to get through it. I don’t love doing it but sometimes it’s necessary.

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Pretended to read a book when I haven’t

LOL. No, I have never done this. Who does this?! It would be so easy to be caught in the lie and it’s so disingenuous!

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Read a book without a dust cover

Every time I pick up a hardback, I take off the dust cover. I cannot read with them on because it drives me crazy! They slip all over the place and just get ruined.

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Had a book boyfriend/girlfriend

I don’t think so. I’m not quite sure I understand the question. I don’t think I have ever had one. The only person that I’ve been obsessed with is Harry Styles. haha

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Picked up a book based on the cover alone

I do this ALL the time. I tell myself not to and I will probably not even read the blurb on the back. I love covers and they get me all the time!

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Read the end of a book before the beginning

NO!!! I would never do this because I wouldn’t even be able to start it. My best friend does this and I don’t understand. She tells me that it’s much less stressful for her and will read the book just fine. LOL

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Read a history or anthropology book for fun

I don’t know that I have. I think the closest I’ve gotten is Barack Obama’s memoir. It’s insanely huge and omg- very history packed. It is not like your typical memoir and more about proceedings in the White House and during his presidency. I did fall asleep a couple of times. haha

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Participated in a readathon

Yes! I’ve done so may and love them dearly. This year, I’m only doing the Magical Readathon because it is one of my favorites! I really hope I can do August but I’ll have a newborn so we will see!

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Bought multiple books in a series before starting it

I tell myself not to do this but I do it ALL the time. What if I pick it up and then immediately want to read them all? I have them all there and it’s so convenient. Don’t ask me what happens when I don’t like the first book. haha

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Filled up an entire bookshelf and had to have stacks of books balanced precariously throughout various rooms

Yep. I did this at my last house. I had found some very creative ways to stack books. In my current house, I am blessed with an actual library and don’t have to do this anymore! 🙂

The Sassy Library Fox’s Question:

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Hurt a book (e.g. accidentally spilled ice cream or coffee on it, dog-eared a book, etc.) 

This was going to be my question! haha. I have never done this on purpose. I have spilled my drink on my book a couple of times. When you have a hyper toddler and try to multi-task it can go wrong really quick. haha

MY QUESTION:

NEVER HAVE I EVER: Loved the movie/tv series more than the book??

Yes, actually. I really liked the third Hunger Games movie better than the book. There’s a lot that gets skipped over in the book and it wasn’t my favorite. The movie does a good job filling those. I think the Grishaverse TV series has done a fabulous job too. I didn’t enjoy the books and never read the third. Loved the first season though!
