Question Thursday (5)

So happy I'm getting back into doing these again!! So, this week's question: Do you giveaway your own books? Do you find it hard to recieve a book for review and then give it up?

I have to admit, I'm a book whore. I hate sharing books and hate lending mine to friends because I like to keep mine looking as new as possible. So when I get a book for review I honestly want to give it away to a fellow reader, but once I really think about it and am planning it I start feeling really sad. And it's just a damn book too!! But books are just so pretty and smell great and...I love seeing them on my bookshelf <3

Katniss/Hailee

I hope you know who this is. The future Katniss. She will be Katniss. If not, the world has gone crazy.

This is just my opinion of who I want to play Katniss, Hailee Steinfeld. There is no confirmation that she has gotten the role, but she has admitted to meeting with Gary Ross. Good sign, right??

My Reviews

Goodreads was my home before I got my blog, so I do have very shortened versions of my reviews that are written as commentary right after I finish a book, with not too much in-depth analysis. Basically, the short and the sweet of what you need to know.

I review based on the Goodreads System:

1 Star- Didn't Like It

2 Stars- It Was Ok

3 Stars- Liked It

4 Stars- Really Liked It

5 Stars- Loved It

I'm very emotional and jumpy when it comes to books, so I usually have to wait a day or two to write a review. Otherwise, I'd be writing really good reviews or really bad reviews all the time!

**I recently changed my review outline and now put spoilers on the same post instead of a seperate Discussion Post. I find more people will see my thoughts that way and someone who has read the book can also comment on the book.

But if it's too much of an annoying hassle to scroll down past the spoilers and any comments that mention anything spoilery, let me know!!
