Today's Top Ten Tuesday is a Freebie round, where the topic is for your choosing. I saw this on another Top Ten Tuesday post and thought it would be a good one to bare my bookish confessions .
1.  When it comes to print copies of books - I am a Dog Earer.
2. I actually own a bookmark collection of 100+ bookmarks but have never used them as see #1 - I dog ear my pages.

3. I can know the Dewey Decimal System off by heart and what number certain books go under.

4. I am not a fan of the Harry Potter books, I tried to read them but couldn't get into them. I have however seen the movies and I am a big fan of the fandom.

5. If I can't get into a book within the first few pages to first two chapters, I will put it down as a DNF.

6. I am not a re-reader of books . I have tried but can't as the excitement has gone since I know what is going to happen in the book.

7. I read on average 350-500 Books a year.

8. I remember everything I read and I have an almost eidetic memory when it comes to books, authors etc.

9. For the life of me , I cannot listen to Audiobooks. I have tried but I switch off with the narrator talking as it's like an incessant buzzing in my ear and I can't concentrate on the story. 

10. One of my bookish idols is a lady called Nancy Pearl who is considered the Queen of Readers Advisory and I have an action figure of her.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
