I was tagged by Emily at Follow the Yellow Book Road to do the GIF tag. Rachel at A Perfection Called Books tagged me in the TBR tag. I thought I would get both done in one post because I am just awesome like that.
The Gif Tag
The first one I am going to do is the GIF tag, which is perfect for me because I love a good GIF! This is simple, the person who tags you will give you a list of ten books. You then have to use just one sentence and one GIF to describe and show how you felt about the book. You then tag others, leaving a list of ten books for them. So... here we go.
1. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
And so my undying love for Harry Potter began.
2. Twilight
Alice and Jasper made that series.
3. Graceling
Will I or won't I ever get to this series?!?
4. Throne of Glass
My new obsession!
5. Ender's Game
Still haven't decided whether to read this one or not.
6. To Kill a Mockingbird
Not read it.
7. The Giver by Lois Lowry
Read it so long ago that I have forgotten almost everything that happens.
8. Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
This involves a lot of plastic surgery.
9. Cinder by Marissa Meyer
I really enjoyed it, but it didn't live up to the ridiculous amount of hype.
10. Divergent by Veronica Roth
I wish I had stopped at Divergent.... I CAN'T EVEN!
And my picks for the people I tag:
1. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling
3. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
4. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
5. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
6. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
7. Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
8. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
9. Northern Lights by Philip Pullman
10. We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
The TBR Tag
How do you keep track of your TBR pile?
Keep track of it? That's funny. I don't, I can't and I wouldn't know where to begin.
Is you TBR mostly print or ebook?
Print. I have almost 400 unread print books to read. Then I have 106 books out from the library. And about 82 unread eARCs to read. I much prefer print books over ebooks.
How do you determine which book from your TBR to read next?
I am a big mood reader, so I go with whatever I am in the mood for. I do try to read my ARCs before they are published, but sometimes that does't work out.
A book that's been on your TBR list the longest.
I actually have no idea. Pride and Prejudice is one I have wanted to read for years now, but never got to.
A book you recently added to your TBR?
All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. I just received a signed ARC copy and can't wait to read it. It's not due out till Jan 2015 though, so am trying to hold off reading it till nearer that time.
A book on your TBR strictly because of it's beautiful cover.
Plus One by Elizabeth Fama. I have seen some really terrible reviews, but that cover is just too gorgeous for me to not want to read this book.
A book on your TBR that you never plan on reading.
White Space by Ilsa J. Bick. I even have an eARC of it, but I have absolutely no desire to read it any more. Every review I have seen for it has been negative, and it doesn't seem like a book I am going to enjoy.
An unpublished book on your TBR that you're excited for.
Throne of Glass #4, #5 & #6.
Yes, I know they don't have release dates or covers or titles. I don't care. I need them, I want them and I am excited for them.
BRING ON ALL THE FEELS!!!
A book on your TBR that basically everyone has read but you.
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. It certainly feels like everyone has read this series but me. I own the first three, so I definitely plan to get to it at some point.
A book on your TBR that everyone recommends to you.
This is a tough one but I am going to go with Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. I own the first two, so I plan to get to this one too. Although, the response to the third book wasn't that amazing and that has put me off a little bit.
A book on your TBR that you're dying to read.
Too many to count.
How many books are on your Goodreads TBR shelf?
291
I don't actually use it to keep track of the books I need to or want to read. So that number doesn't really count.
I am going to tag the following people to do one of these or both of these. Or even neither of these.
Whatever floats your boat!

Cait @ Notebook Sister
