I was tagged by Carrianna @ Cuppa ‘n Critiques to do the “I Messed Up” Book Tag. Thank you so much again! If you don’t already follow her then go check out her awesome blog. ❤️
A CHARACTER APPEARANCE THAT YOU MISREAD OR IMAGINED DIFFERENTLY.
Daniel from the Fallen series! I imagined him with dark hair for forever until I realized he actually had blonde hair.
A CHARACTER NAME THAT YOU’VE BEEN PRONOUNCING WRONG.
I pronounced Kaidan’s name wrong the whole time I was reading the Sweet Evil trilogy until I got to Sweet Temptation and he was all it’s not Kay-den and I was like “Ohhhhh… 🙈”
AN OVERUSED TROPE THAT IS YOUR GUILTY PLEASURE.
I’m not sure if this is overused or a trope but I kind of love when the romantic interest is the cliche “bad boy, sarcastic, arrogant, with a terrible past” type of character. I’m not sure if I would consider it a guilty pleasure since I have no shame but…
A CLICHÉ CHARACTER TYPE THAT YOU LIKE BETTER ON SCREEN THAN READING ABOUT.
I’m not sure I have an answer for this. I’ve never thought about it. 🙈
A WORD/PHRASE YOU LEARNED BECAUSE OF ITS USE IN A BOOK.
Daunting! I don’t even remember what book I learned the word from, but I remember learning it and liking how it sounded. I overused that word for a while. 😂
HAVE YOU EVER NOT READ OR COMPLETED A REQUIRED-READING BOOK FOR SCHOOL?
Nope. I’ve completed every book I’ve ever had to read for school. I actually enjoyed the required readings, even the classics. Especially in middle school! I found one of my favorite books thanks to a summer required reading, Romiette and Julio. Required readings always meant I would get to read books I wanted, but would probably never pick up if I wasn’t required to read them.
HAVE YOU EVER SKIPPED (OR WANTED TO) A CHAPTER FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF A CHARACTER YOU WEREN’T INTERESTED IN?
Yep! I always do that but then I go back and read it after I’ve read the one I actually wanted to read because if I don’t I feel like I’m missing part of the story.
HAVE YOU EVER CANCELLED SOCIAL PLANS TO READ A BOOK?
I can’t remember an exact time where I did, but I have a feeling that I have.
I TAG:
Cassandra @ Late Night Reviewer
Michelle @ Addictively Turning Pages
…And anyone else who wants to do it!! ❤️
I’m a bit behind on tags at the moment. But I have several drafted to spread out to make up for the fact that I’m going to be extremely busy with school over the next few weeks! So, if you’ve tagged me in something don’t worry I’ll have it posted soon. 😄

What a fun tag! I’ve imagined characters with the wrong hair colour a lot of times. Haha. 😊

I started saying “By the Angel” because of The Shadowhunters Chronicles. I don’t say it as much as I did when I first read the books, but I do sometimes when I’m around my friends

That’s a good one! I so didn’t think of that. I used to always say it while I was reading them too. 😂

You should’ve seen how people would look at me at school! It was hilarious. And one time, I just started going out with this guy and I was getting frustrated with something and was just like “Oh, by the Angel!’ and his expression was priceless.

Hahaha, I love this tag! It wasn’t until I was in the middle of Golden Son (the second book in the Red Rising trilogy in case you haven’t read it) that I realized the name was SeVRo and not SeRVo. I had been calling him Servo to all my friends, lol. They probably thought I was an idiot. Also: I love that same cliche dude trope 😀 They’re my favorite book boyfriends!

I feel like there should be a glossary type thing with names before the story instead of in the back of the book, then we wouldn’t get so many names wrong 😂. I so need to read the Red Rising trilogy, another book series on my extremely long TBR lol.

Nope! Lol I always pronounced it that way too though 😂. I think the author used a less popular pronunciation.
It was really fun!! 😊

Lol it’s okay 😊! I always see tags I’m tagged in forever after they’re posted too. WordPress needs a better ping system. And you’re welcome! 😄
