The Reader Problems Book Tag

I saw this book tag on A Little Haze Book Blog and it looked fun. Check out her blog for more fun book tags and awesome book reviews. So let’s get to it!

1. You have 20,000 books on your TBR. How do you decide what to read next?

With that many books, I’ll just pick whatever I’m in the mood to read. By the way, who has 20,000 books on their TBR? Because…wow, that’s a list to get through. 😅

2. You’re halfway through a book, and you’re just not loving it; do you put it down or are you committed?

I put it down and try to pick it back up again. If I borrowed it from the library, I may renew or just return it and pick it up some other time. If I’m reading an ARC, then I try to finish even if I don’t like it, just so I can give it a fair review.

3. The end of the year is coming, and you’re behind on your reading challenge; do you try to catch up? And if so, how?

I’ve already met my Goodreads goal, and I think early in my blogging I put up the Pop Sugar reading challenge, but I’m pretty sure I’m not going to complete it. And it’s TOTALLY ok…🤷🏻‍♀️

4. The covers of a series you love do not match, how do you cope?

Yikes..not sure if I’ve had that problem yet. But if that did happen and it’s a series I absolutely love, I’d buy the series with matching covers and donate the other one not matching.

5. Everyone and their mother love a book that you do not. Who do you bond with over your shared feelings?

Sometimes my hubby, but mostly on my blog – because there are always readers out there who share your feelings. They are out there!

6. You’re reading a book in public, and you’re about to start crying; how do you deal?

I do most of my reading at home so I’ve never dealt with this problem! I’d probably do a laugh/cry kinda thing if it did happen.

7. The sequel to a book you loved just came out but you’ve forgotten a lot of what happens. Are you going to reread it?

I used to reread when I wasn’t a mom and had more time to do so. These days, I usually just jump into the sequel and pray things from the previous book resurface in my brain.

8. You do not want anyone to borrow your books. How do you politely say no when someone asks?

This is so hard because I’m the only one who buys books among my friends and family. 😩 So I usually let them borrow because I want them reading something! lol

9. You have picked up and put down five books in the last month. How do you get over this reading slump?

Take a break and not read for a few days. Watch TV shows, I just binged the 1st season of Euphoria on HBO without meaning to! I realized I didn’t read for or write a blog post for two days and it was kinda nice. It helped me jump into a few books I was struggling with and write posts that I’ve been meaning to.

10. There are so many books coming out that you are dying to read. How many do you end up buying?

I don’t. I have kids, lol, money goes to their needs first. Thank god for my public library, online library, and recently – Book Outlet (so many discounted books)! It’s been a lifesaver and I just learn to be patient.

11. After you purchase all of these books that you’re dying to read, how long do they sit on your shelf before you read them?

I usually read them right away but lately the TBR list has grown very long and ARCs usually are a priority for me to finish.
