I never do either. I've started paying more attention to them when I'm on my kindle now though since I can underline them. ;) Same here. I might have to get a notebook just for quotes. :DAmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660257471527268870.post-42875966960053511462013-01-23T13:17:58.773-05:002013-01-23T13:17:58.773-05:00Maybe I'll take Team Human off the TBR list.

I always think about it after I'm finished and then can never ever find it.

I've learned I just get disappointed when I think about it too much. :P I read there were a few guys up for Four still, but I'm trying not to be picky since I was so disappointed by TMI.

I don't, but not sure of the person who they said was a shoe in for Four (Can't remember his name right now - have to google it)tlmfarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11699392120494847632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660257471527268870.post-56305587734467686272013-01-10T23:59:31.849-05:002013-01-10T23:59:31.849-05:00It really did!

And I copied it originally from The Perpetual Page-Turner's blog, so the formatting was a nightmare to deal with on my blog. :S Oh well, it's done! :D well that might make it easier then. ;) <br /><br />Same here! Maybe a notebook for quotes?? Or pictures with your phone? That's a good idea for readalongs, and would work when you're reading for yourself too. :) I do that with school books, but I'm pretty particular with my own books that I buy for myself. Those I don't touch. :P Although I think I may have underlined stuff before. :P I know what you mean...some books you just don't mind. :P lol <br /><br />I loved BC, and hopefully I'll love the rest of the series too. ;) It does! I'm looking forward to it. :D<br /><br />Awe, that might work pretty well actually. I love the series and totally encourage you to read them, but since you've already waited and the third one comes out in August...you might as well wait until it's close to the release or after. :P<br /><br />It was pretty good book-wise. :D AmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660257471527268870.post-19839393523608037202013-01-10T23:18:40.192-05:002013-01-10T23:18:40.192-05:00Wow! Ya, I bet this took you FOREVER to do! I thou...Wow! Ya, I bet this took you FOREVER to do! I thought about doing it too, but knew it would just take too long...and I felt I didn't really read enough books to make it interesting enough lol.<br /><br />I always wondered too, how other bloggers kept track of so many quotes from the books they read. The only time I write them down - or keep track of them by page number is when I'm doing a readalong. I make myself stop at the end of each chapter to write down a few thoughts and quotes so that I have something to write about when I write my weekly posts! ;) I know for some, this is totally taboo, but I've started highlighting quotes in my books as I'm reading. It makes it easy to flip through the book afterwards and spot the highlighted bits. I don't do this with every book though - only ones I feel ok doing this in haha. <br /><br />I really want to read Beautiful Creatures now too - partly because Rola gives it such rave reviews, but then I saw the movie preview a few weeks ago and the movie looks so good! <br /><br />I haven't read my copies of Divergent and Insurgent yet so I think I'm going to wait until the series is complete - not that I will necessarily read them back to back to back, but mentally, I like knowing that I *could* read them in a row if I want to! Lol. <br /><br />Looks like you had a great year!!

Looking forward to the movie :) <br /><br />I think I may have to borrow this survey list from you and do some brainstorming of my own. I don't know how I'll narrow things down in some of the questions, but I'll try my best :)<br /><br />(I also don't tend to keep track of quotes)tlmfarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11699392120494847632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660257471527268870.post-7523108442685388472013-01-08T23:09:52.423-05:002013-01-08T23:09:52.423-05:00You really do!

Really??? I loved that one...but I do love my sports romances so maybe I'm a bit biased. ;) I hope if you do give it another shot, you like it. :)<br /><br />Same here. I'm stop for a moment to think about it...and never remember what quote I liked. <br /><br />Thanks! :DAmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660257471527268870.post-41654050765977910152013-01-08T23:08:01.681-05:002013-01-08T23:08:01.681-05:00It really was! :D I absolutely loved! it!

I liked the last bit, but it was definitely one that I contemplated putting down for a bit...I just don't know why they made Mel so horrible at first...she did get better tho. I know, I love the cover...so funny! :D I was a pretty hilarious story so it really does fit! You're welcome!

And I'm so happy to see that you really didn't like Team Human, either ... I really wasn't a fan. I might have to give the Jaci Burton series another chance ... I tried and just couldn't get past the first few pages of the first book. <br /><br />I like your idea of keeping track of quotes this year. I always come across great lines in books, but then I can never remember them. <br /><br />I'm glad you had such a good year!
