Hi everybody, it is Julie. Welcome back to Page and Pens. Today I'm here with a
tag video and it is the Bad Habits Book Tag. I was tagged by Maddie over at The
Book Pusher, I will have her listed down below as well as the Creator who I don't
know off the top of my head. Chapter Barabara, Barbara our bar bar bar
a bar. Oh God. Alright, so let's just jump right
into these questions. There are ten of them and I'm gonna be running through
them as quickly as possible. I did pull books because I don't feel like being
like the person that has to put pictures up here because I am lazy.
All right, so first up is binge drinking. It''s a bad habit, one that I indulge in
at least twice a month when doing live shows. An alcoholic book character. So
Maddie and I believe Ali both said that Hamish and then also Monty from the
Gentleman's Guide To Vice and Virtue but I'm picking somebody else. Anna, Anna Witt. She
is the daughter of the sin of not gluttony,
but like addiction. Like literally drinking. If she starts drinking she's
like it's all over. So this girl is gonna be really really careful about her
drinking. She tries to not to drink because like one of her things that
she's supposed to do as like a part-demon
is get people to overindulge in drinking and then get into trouble and
cause chaos. So she needs to be very very careful around her booze. Number two is
biting your nails, which is a book that you're very nervous to read or were
nervous to read or that made you nervous. Can you tell I'm nervous just thinking
about it? Today's the 28th of February when
filming this, it's going up in March which means this has started. This is
House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski Danielewski. This is gonna happen in
March. I'm starting on March 1st and I'm buddy reading this with people on
Twitter and I am terrified because it's like a very mixed media very strange
book. There are like no words on these pages and then upside down portions and
portions you read in a mirror and I've talked about this before and I am
nervous and scared and it's about a haunted house. So like the premise makes
me nervous, the format makes you nervous, like all of it makes me nervous. But I am
reading that tonight. Good lord, Bad habit is unhealthy eating. That is a bad habit
however like Ali (because I saw this in earlier today which reminded me that
I've been tagged forever ago) it's a book about eating disorders, which is not a
bad habit that's an illness. Unhealthy eating is a bad habit,
eating disorders not a habit that's an illness. But I did pick a book that I had
read recently for ContemporaryAThon. which is Anya's Ghost, which is a
graphic novel. And in this you've got a girl with body
dysmorphia who definitely limits her eating. Like in an unhealthy way. In the
beginning and it's never addressed like this is not a good representation of
eating disorder in a book, because it goes wholly unaddressed, You definitely
see her at one point in the graphic novel looking at herself in a mirror and
she's seeing something very different than what is actually her body type.
Definitely does not have a healthy relationship with eating. So I'm gonna go
with that book. And then staying up late- if that's a bad habit guys like if
that's the worst one you have kudos cuz that's not that bad -is the book that
I read well into the night. If you watched my ContemporaryAThon vlog you'll
know I read a lot at night but this book I think I finished and was crying over
at like 1:30 in the morning. I got so close to the end and I couldn't put it
down because I want it to finish it. So like I read this really late into the
night so that I could actually finish the vlog and I couldn't go to bed not
knowing how it ended. So I stayed up pretty late to finish this one. This is
This Adventure Ends by Emma Mills and this is a fave of mine. It's like a new
top-five fave of life and I'm so thrilled that so many of you have picked
this up since I talked about it because I really really really loved it and I
hope it holds up for you guys too. It's a contemporary, it's not full of like
meaning and intrigue, it's not a thinking people's book but it is so cute and so
great and I loved the friend group. I'm gonna stop talking about it cuz I could
keep talking about it, but I really liked it. Kept me up super late.
Procrastination: a book that I really want to read but I just keep putting off. Yeah The Beauty of
Darkness by Mary E Pearson. I'm this far in. I have a bookmark in here guys like
it's it's in here, which is at page 73. I picked this up in January and then
February was contemporary month so I didn't pick it up and then I made a
March TBR and this wasn't on it. I don't dislike this series but I don't love it.
Like it's not keeping me gripped and then when I get back into it if I really
dedicate myself to just reading this I know I'm gonna love it I love it. Every
time I pick it up and really stay invested, but if I pick it up and put it down
pick it up and put it down, I don't think about it again and that's
a bummer because when I pick it up I really really love it. So I need to
finish this at some point because this series has been like looming over me for
so long and I really enjoy it when I read it. I just I don't know why I'm
dragging my feet but I'm not finishing this like, ever. So I need to get to that.
And then swearing. Oh man if that's a bad habit... I curse a lot. So this is a book in
which an author or character uses colorful language. One of the reasons
that I really really loved Little & Lion by Brandy Colbert
is because the characters curse their teenagers and they say fuck. Because you
know what? Teenagers say fuck. So this one I actually made notes in here like "yes
thank you YA where characters can actually curse because that's something
that teenagers do". I mean a lot stuck out to me about this book, I did really enjoy
this book, thank you for cursing in YA, I doesn't bother me
because it's realistic. Smoking:a book that I couldn't get enough of aka
nicotine and/or is legit to cancer. So this book is not bad I actually really
liked this book and this is one that's not necessarily addicting but I did read
this while I was nannying in the month of February. So you can
check out my wrap-up for more information on this one. I should have
probably been hanging out with the kids a little bit more than I was and I would
like sneak off upstairs while they were like playing or watching TV or like
happy and read some of this. It's not a premise that I thought I was going to
love as much as I did because it's about a girl who's like hardcore into surfing
and then she moves to a landlocked area and she gets into skateboarding a little
bit. I don't care about surfing. I don't care about skateboarding. I cared so much
about this character and her family though it's not even funny. This one was
way more addicting than I thought it was going to be and I'm really glad that it
was because I end up really enjoying this read. I still gave it 4 stars, it
wasn't like perfection, but it was really really cute and I liked it.
Overspending: is an expensive book that I bought. I bought Strange the Dreamer
pre-order by Laini Taylor because I love Laini Taylor's writing. I love her
Daughter Of Smoke and Bones series, it's back here and The Night of Cake and Puppets.
Really really loved it. Loved her writing and I wanted to read this ASAP. I still
haven't read. So I pre-ordered this full price and
then still haven't read it. It's not a book outlet book, it's not something I
got like half price somewhere, paid full price because I needed it ASAP and then
still haven't read it which grates on my nerves. And then lying: a book that I lied
about having read. And I don't have one of these. I think that this has showed up
in another question as well and a lot of people use like reading in school or
telling a teacher that they read in a sign reading when they didn't. I was the
girl who was always so terrified that the teacher would know I was lying that
I read everything. I don't think I ever did that and I don't think I've ever
come on here and been like "oh yeah I totally read that" and I didn't. So yeah, I
don't think so. And then speeding: a book that I read really really fast. And that
one I'm using this bad boy. This is We Were Liars by E Lockhart, which is also
very small. I reread this recently and annotated it for a Throwback Thursday
and I loved it. I read it really really quick. I read this in like a day like 24
hours but I think I split it up between two days. But even the first read of this
I read really quickly because I think I read it in one day the first time I read
it because I was so intrigued and so invested in the characters and in the
story and because it was so short I knew if I stopped like I might as well just
keep pushing and read it. So I read this one really quick. I also read This
Adventure Ends really quickly as well. I tend to read contemporaries a lot
faster than fantasy, which is pretty normal. I also read very fast. What did I
read? The Mistake by Elle Kennedy. Right? That's who wrote that. That was like one
of those hockey smutty books- book two of the Off Campus series. Read that super
super fast because there's not much to it, it's just fun. So I finished both
of those. And that is everything for the Bad Habits Book Tag. I will tag some
people down below. You guys know how I do this. I just kind of go through my feed
and whoever I haven't tagged in a while, I tag. So check yourself down there and see
if I've tagged you in this one. You guys know I get tag anxiety. So I can't
come up with things at the top of my head because it scares me. But those have
been my bad habit books. Let me know down below if you had a different answer for
any of these or if you agree with some of my answers for these. I'd love to know
your thoughts. And if you liked this video be sure to give me a big thumbs up,
click subscribe, and I will see all of you in my next video. Bye, guys.
