The Goodreads Book Tag



I have so many reviews to do that I might just erratically post them up until the New Year. I apologise in advance if I bombard you with them all!

Although there will be other more lifestyle-y posts or tags in between.

Today was actually my last day at work for the year (am working from home next week) and I'm so looking forward to this Christmas break. 

Hopefully I'll have some time to write all these posts up. And also to finish writing up the rest of my blasted novel! Whoops.

Anyways, I got this tag from Lindsay's blog, link here. Check hers out too!

Question 1:
What is the last book you marked as read?

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I recently chose to re-read the entire series as I'd been dying to do so for ages and I thought Christmas was the perfect time of year! I'm currently most of the way through the second one, loving life.

Question 2:
What are you currently reading?

I'm always reading three books at once. I often get asked how on earth I keep up with them all but it's really rather easy. I listen to my audiobook whilst I'm getting ready for work, I read another one during my lunch break and then the final one before bed. They are all quite different as well which helps! Anyway, they are currently: The Fall (The Strain Trilogy, #2) - audiobook, The Secret History - lunch break - and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - bedtime.

Question 3:
What was the last book you marked as to-read?

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. I'm getting on really well with one of my colleagues at work and I asked her what her favourite book was (or one of them) and she said this one so I thought I'd add it to my list.

Question 4:
Do you use the star rating system?

I do for reviews on Goodreads, not on here though. I think it'll be interesting to see if I'll change my mind in the future about ratings/reviews I've given.

Question 5:
What book do you plan on reading next?

Well, that all depends on which one I finish first. If I finish the Harry Potter one then obviously Prisoner of Azkaban is next. Whereas if I finish the audiobook first then I'll have to wait until I get my next credit, but it'll either be the final part of The Strain trilogy or another Brandon Sanderson one. If I finish The Secret History though I'm tempted to pick up my copy of Frankenstein or maybe delve into a big fantasy series of Robin Hobb's.

Question 6:
Are you doing the 2016 reading challenge?

Yeees. I've mentioned before that I originally set it at 30 before upping it twice, once to 35 and then the final time to 40 as I kept getting nearer and nearer to my goal with a tonne of time left. I'm three books away from completing it whilst currently reading three books so I think I'll manage :)

Ooh, these are quite cool to do. I may see if I can find a few more tags and complete them. It's weird, I used to write out those questionnaire type things in the notes section on Facebook, and some of them were long.

Ahaha, how embarrassing those answers were...
