Tags
I wasn’t tagged, but I wanted to do this anyway. I read about this tag on The Quirky Reader and Books and Cleverness.
Greed – What is your most inexpensive book?
I got The Dark is Rising By Susan Cooper for 10 cents at a yard sale. Am I cheap or what?
Wrath – What author do you have a love/hate relationship with?
George R.R. Martin, but not for the reason most people do. I just wish the man would write faster!
Gluttony – What book have you devoured over and over with no shame?
Harry Potter, I don’t even know how many times I’ve read the series!
Sloth -What book have you neglected reading due to laziness?
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson, it’s 1007 pages in hardcover and I don’t want to get behind on my book reviews to read it. (This is one of those books that makes me thankful for Kindle.)
Pride – What book do you most talk about in order to sound like an intellectual reader?
I don’t really like intellectual books. :p
Lust – What attributes do you find attractive in male or female characters?
They’re fictional, so why not be perfect. 😉 My idea of perfect is Witty and cleaver, but not too good looking. (I realized I just described my male protagonist from Woven Magic…)
Envy – What book would you most like to receive as a gift?
The Blood of Olympus. Okay, I already got the pre-order for my birthday, but I want it NOW!
I know I’m defeating the purpose of this tag thing, but I wouldn’t want to annoy, so I’m not tagging anyone. (Why I never posted my book award, I was too shy to nominate someone…)
Do you have a 7 deadly sins post? Please link it, or post yours below. 🙂
Woven Magic Books 
Between the deaths and the waiting between books, I think every Martin fan has a love hate relationship with him lol. This seems like fun, so I’m officially tagging myself:)
haha true! But we keep buying his books! It was fun. I look forward to your post. 🙂
This is an awesome idea! I plan to fill one out for myself. =)
I thought it was too! Please link your post when you make it so I can check it out. (Your avatar link doesn’t seem to work.) Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Seriously – I think I put of The Way of Kings for the same reason.
as for GRRM I think lots of people have that relationship with him for that exact reason. I stopped reading his books and just plan to pick them back up and read once he’s done – so I don’t have to be impatient anymore.
Yeah, The Way of Kings sounds good, but 1000 pages is a big time commitment.
I wanted to wait until all of the song of fire and ice were released, but I couldn’t take it anymore and read 4 and 5 the summer before last. (Then he ended it to be continued again!)
Thanks for coming to my blog. I really like your’s. 🙂
I want The Blood of Olympus too! October feels so far away!
I know it! It doesn’t help that Riordan keeps teasing us on twitter! Oh what I wouldn’t get that book early!
I also did this tag recently here: http://wp.me/p4tMM6-bp
And I feel you with Blood of Olympus lol
Thanks for the link, I’m checking it out now. I know, Riordan needs to write faster! Thanks for visiting. 🙂
This tag looks so fun! And I loved reading about the different books you picked. I can’t believe you got a book for ten cents. Now I’m envious!
It is fun! I hope you do it too. Thanks. 🙂 But they were so cheap I bought a whole bag full and all the others were duds. Haha.

Thanks for the follow. I’ve followed you back, and immediately I seen this post that I liked. I definitely devour the Potter books and I can’t wait for Blood of Olympus to come out (maybe we can check each other’s review of it :p). I’ve only watched the TV series of GoT, I’ve decided to not read the books for a while yet because I usually read the books before they are made into films, (Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Sherlock Holmes) so I know what will happen, but with GoT, I’m surprised every week for a change!
Thanks. 🙂 We can do a review swap when Blood of Olympus comes out. I’ll probably devour it in a day. I always like read the books first too, because they’re almost always better. Yeah, sometimes it’s nice to be surprised. (and not see all the differences.) Thanks for stopping by.
