Reading Habits Tag

1. Do you have a certain place at home for reading?

I usually read in bed, which is probably a bad Idea since I get distracted so easily at home.

2. Bookmark or random piece of paper?

Bookmark for sure, but if I forget one before work for a new book I'm reading I will use a receipt or something.

3. Can you just stop reading or do you have to stop after a chapter/ a certain amount of pages?

I usually can stop anywhere, but try to stop where it makes the most sense, such as the end of a chapter or something.

4. Do you eat or drink while reading?

Yeah, I'll get tea stains on the book.

5. Multitasking: Music or TV while reading?

TV not so much, but relaxing and peaceful music certainly helps me read at home. Though while I'm out and about it doesn't make a difference.
6. One book at a time or several at once?

It just depends on the books. If they are easy reads I can read 2 at once.

7. Reading at home or everywhere?

Everywhere !! Got to get all that reading in somewhere right?

8. Reading out lout or silently in your head?

Silently for sure.

9. Do you read ahead or even skip pages?

Definitely not !!!

10. Breaking the spine or keeping it like new?

I will break the spine, I may be a sinner, but it's so good!

11. Do you write in your books?

I usually tab them, but if it's too good to be tabbed, sure I'll write in the book.

Milk & Honey | Review

I jumped on the bandwagon and recently picked up a copy of Rupi Kaur’s brilliant little book of poetry, Milk And Honey. What is it about, you might ask? Everything important, I’d respond. Especially to girls who are still growing—essentially, all of us women.

Although disjointed which I understand with the topics included in the book, it still hits you, in a good way. Not everyone will completely understand each thing personally, but when you do it hits you even harder. Making this an even better read. I don't usually go for poetry, but the honesty and rawness of this book is captivating and very much needed to be read by a lot of women.

I can not recommend this enough. I gave this 4 stars on Goodreads, not a 5 only because of how disjointed the text was from page to page. 

The Knife Of Never Letting Go | Review

I didn't like this one. I found it very disappointing. I didn't like the writing at all, though I understand why it was written how Todd would speak, but It was irritating. I get how only knowing as much as Todd does would be all well and good, but unfortunately, it didn't entertain me. I didn't like how he only found things out as he desperately needed to know certain information ( at the most crucial times).  I just think some kind of formality would have been lovely. I didn't like any of the characters at all, I found them all to be either boring or unrelatable. The only character I did like was his dog, him being the only funny or interesting character by a mile. Unfortunately, this one wasn't my jam, compared to other Patrick Ness books such as A Monster Calls and More Than This. This one was disappointing, let me down and just didn't work. An unfortunate 1 star on Goodreads from me.
