Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup of book bloggers hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week, we’re talking about the signs that you’re a lover of books! If you’re reading this, you’re probably one too, so you might see yourself in this list! I had a hard time with this one, so there’s only eight here. Apologies!
You write a book blog: I read enough of them to know that there a lot of book blogs out there…some are focused on young adult, some on romance, some on nonfiction. But if you care enough about books to write about them on the internet, you definitely love books!
You always have a book on you: I joke that I have two things in my bag at any given time…a koozie and a book. You never know when you’re going to get stuck waiting for something and have a couple minutes to get a couple pages in!
They exist in piles around the house: If you have an actual library, I am super jealous. I have several bookshelves, but it’s not enough! There are piles of books everywhere you look.
You’re a member of a book club: I’ve been a part of a book club at my local indie bookstore for the past several years now and I love it! I’ve really appreciated the incentive to pick up books I otherwise might never have read and I love having the chance to talk about them in real life!
You’ve become the go-to book recommender for your friends: You know you’re a book person when your friends and acquaintances turn to you when they’re looking for their next read!
You find yourself saying “it reminds me of this book I read”: Global pandemic? Got a book for that (Station Eleven). Reality show contestants not knowing that a pandemic is going on because they’ve been isolated, like the German Big Brother thing? Got a book for that too (The Last One)!
You get a bookstore gift certificate as a go-to present: If someone isn’t sure what to get you, and what they think will be a safe gift is a gift card for the local bookstore, you’re probably a book nerd!
Your friends send you book memes: Every time there’s a new bookish meme making its way across the internet, I get about six texts from people who know me being like “look, it’s you!”
