I do some pretty crazy things that some people say are weird but I don’t. Hopefully you guys can relate
30 things crazy readers do:
- Re-read books on my shelf rather than reading the unread books
- Make countdowns for release dates
- Smell books.
- Just sit and think about a book I’ve read, not read it just think about it.
- Check the Indigo events page every day to see if a favourite author is coming to town
- Try to incorporate books into every single conversation
- Only buying people gifts that have to do with books
- Going on over extensive book buying sprees
- Looking up book quotes and spend hours looking at them
- If I see someone reading a book I’ve read and enjoyed, ill make sure to tell them
- Pulling all-nighters just to finish a book
- Reading instead of working
- Take a book everywhere even to social events
- Constantly re-organizing personal bookshelves to the point that the shelves are always more organized than the room itself
- If a book is misplaced in a library or bookstore I put it back
- Crying over character deaths, even in public
- Having people come to you for book recommendations
- Being too sensitive about my books being handled with care
- Remembering something specific based on what book you were reading at the time
- Crushing on book characters
- Look for hours upon hours on the internet for even the smallest details on sequels
- Bugging EVERYONE into reading your favourite book
- Spending too much time deciding which book to buy and then either finally picking a book or having to leave because you still can’t decide
- Not packing enough books when you go to a foreign language country and having nothing to read
- Dreaming what it would be like to own 1000s of books
- Getting in arguments over books
- Putting book preorder receipts up on my wall
- Spending an hour trying to find a comfortable position to read before reading
- Knowing all the book terminology (TBR pile, DFN, Book hangover, OTP)
- Never having enough time to read.
Can you relate, I would love to know. Thanks for reading.
