Booklikes/Goodreads Tag

I have just discovered Booklikes, and I am currently trying to figure it out (we'll see) but I found this fun tag from Bookwormblurbs so I thought I'd give it a go.

1. What was the last book you marked as 'Read'?
 The Tenth City by Patrick Carman

2. What are you 'Currently Reading'?
 I am reading both Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman as well as Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah

3. What was the last book you marked as 'To-Read'?
 Into the Mist by Patrick Carman, it's a sort of prequel to the Land of Elyon series (of which is The Tenth City)

4. What book do you plan to read next?
 Uff. Good question. I've sort of started 1Q48 by Haruki Murakami, but it may be the Book Your Brains Out book of the month to read, so I'm holding off to see what we pick (and if it is indeed that book, it'll be that I read next)

5. Do you use the star rating system?
 I try to, as well as actually writing out a review (although sometimes it's a rather short review that I write)

6. Are you doing a 2014 reading challenge?
 I am! I picked a modest number of 20, which isn't really a challenge at all, but mostly because as of this spring I graduated with my BA and so I was quite busy and did not have time for pleasure reading. At one point I read about 100 books a year, and I'd like to get back to that again.

7. Do you have a wishlist?
I have some books on my amazon wishlist, but I would like to get all the books on my "to read" list (which is already quite long but is also ever-growing)

8. What book do you want to buy next?
Good question. Probably the last book in the Across the Universe trilogy, which is Shades of Earth. I somehow ended up with one pretty cover for Across the Universe and an ugly one for A Million Suns, so I'd also like to get a copy with a nice cover (and then I'd bookcross the one that I currently have)

9. Do you have any favorite quotes? Would you like to share a few?
 “I remember wishing the moment would hold forever; that we could be fixed there, laughing and iridescent... Then I got panicky because I knew it would pass; that it was passing already.” Tina Howe, Painting Churches

10. Who are your favorite authors?
 J. K. Rowling, J. R. R. Tolkien, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, to name a few

11. Have you joined any groups?
Not on goodreads/booklikes, but on leafnotes, yes. 

12. Are there any questions you'd like to add to this tag?
No (: 

I tag:
Anyone and everyone!
