I forgot that this tag existed but I’m glad I was reminded of it because otherwise, I would’ve missed out on doing an annual favourite. It’s time for the Bookish Naughty or Nice Tag, friends! Have I been Naughty or Nice this year? I’m tempted to say naughty but I think I’ve actually been pretty good in 2023, lol. Let’s see if I’m right! ๐
This tag was originally created by Jenniely.
The Rules
- Tag and link the person who tagged you (nobody did, lol)
- Link back to the creator (Jenniely)
- Tick or cross off the ones you’ve done!
- Tag 10 people (if you want)
โ Received an ARC and not reviewed it โ
Naughty Panda.
I haven’t gotten better at this over the years but 2023 especially was a year when all my reading plans got thrown immediately out the window by February and it… kept on that way. ๐ฎโ๐จ
โจ Have a less than 60% rating on NetGalley โจ
Yay, Panda!
Wa-hey! Despite not reading all the ARCs that I got this year (+ the overdue ones from previous years…)โmy rating still sits at 72%. Phew!
โจ Rated a book on Goodreads and promised a full review was to come on your blog (and never did) โจ
Yay, Panda!
I think I’m actually good with this one this year! I’m like 89% sure. I don’t think I marked all my read books cos I knew I wasn’t going to review them at the time so… I just never added them! ๐
โจ Folded down the page of a book โจ
Yay, Panda!
I don’t think I’ve folded down the page of a book in a very long time!
โจ Accidentally spilled on a book โจ
Yay, Panda!
Books were safe in my hands this year! ๐๐ฝ
โ DNF a book this year โ
Naughty Panda.
I can’t remember the exact number of books I didn’t finish this year but I think it’s the most I’ve ever DNFd. Life’s too short, my mood is too fickle, etc., etc. My goal is to DNF more though so I don’t really think this makes me naughty, lol.
โ Bought a book purely because it was pretty with no intention of reading it โ
Naughty Panda.
I mean, listen… It’s been a tough year and I’ve indulged in retail therapy a time or two or three. I don’t think I have any intention of not ever reading said books cos I will, eventuallyโbut who really knows when eventually will come around!
โ Read whilst you were meant to be doing something else (like homework) โ
Naughty Panda.
Heh, did I end up reading more than I should’ve during work hours the few times I worked from home this year? Maybe… Maybe…
โ Skim read a book โ
Naughty Panda.
This year has been pretty mid when it came to my ratings which means I’ve done more than my fair share of skimming cos I wanted to get through the books faster!
โจ Completely missed your Goodreads goal โจ
Yay, Panda!
Contrary to what my Goodreads Challenge shows on the website, I’ve actually surpassed my goal but I just haven’t logged them all on GR. According to my spreadsheet, I’ve read 159 books! ๐
โจ Borrowed a book and not returned it to the library โจ
Yay, Panda!
Bit of a cheat for me cos I don’t have a library but YAY! ๐
โจ Broke a book-buying ban โจ
Yay, Panda!
Another that’s a bit of a cheat since I didn’t put myself on a book-buying ban this year! Surprisingly, my book buying didn’t get wildly out of hand this year.
โ Started a review, left it for ages, then forgot what the book was about โ
Naughty Panda.
I might not have started a review but I’ve definitely put many of them off for ages and I’ve now forgotten what it’s about or how I really felt about it. Oop?
โจ Wrote in a book you were reading โจ
Yay, Panda!
I only annotated one book this year but I used stickies and didn’t write directly in the bookโno matter how tempted I was to get all in it! ๐
โ Finished a book and not added it to your Goodreads โ
Super Naughty Panda.
According to GR, I’ve read 128 books but since I know I’ve read 159 books, that means I haven’t added a whopping 31 books to my list! Wow, that number kinda shocks me, lol. ๐
โ Borrowed a book and not returned it to a friend โ
Naughty Panda.
I thought I was good this year but I completely forgot that I borrowed the first three volumes of the One Piece manga from my boss and still haven’t returned it. Oops! ๐ฌ
โจ Dodged someone asking if they can borrow a book โจ
Yay, Panda!
I was pretty good this year! I even let my dad borrow tons of books which he always returned in pristine condition! ๐
โจ Broke the spine of someone else’s book โจ
Yay, Panda!
I would never!!!
โจ Took the jacket off a book to protect it and ended up making it more damaged โจ
Yay, Panda!
Again, I would absolutely never do this! I would be so disappointed in myself if this ever happened to one of my gorgeous hardcovers, lol.
โจ Sat on a book accidentally โจ
Yay, Panda!
No sitting on books for this panda in 2023! ๐
THE FINAL SCORE: 8 NAUGHTY / 12 NICE!
Alright, alright, that’s what I’m talking about! It’s great knowing I’ve been an awesome book panda this year, haha! ๐ผ ๐ ๐ Hopefully, 2024 will be just as good.
And that’s it for the 2023 edition of the Naughty or Nice book tag, friends! I won’t be tagging anyone this year but feel free to grab it and link back. Do you think you were naughty or nice this year? I’d love to see your answers! ๐

I think DNFing a book you don’t like should get a Yay, Panda. Reading should not be a punishment.I live by that. I have stopped promising reviews on GR. I vowed to do it, and I have. I am proud of that.
