yes, I am a bibliophile

July 21
On my first day back in civilization, I had a chuckle finding this link in my Goodreads group.
Of the 75 Signs that you are a Bibliophile,
these stuck out for me…
Seeing “Based on the bestselling novel by…” in a movie trailer makes you dizzy.
Read the book. It’s better. Seriously.
You’d read in the car if you could.
except it makes me soooo sick. i settle for podcasts.
Used, local and specialty bookstores are your kryptonite.
Case in point: First day of vacation finds us… at an old friends’ second hand bookstore. You can visit them too! Pilgrim Reader’s Bookstore online is nice, but even better IRL.
You start a book blog just for the ARCs.
Hey, where are my ARC’s?!
oh right, I was lucky enough to receive Robin Hobb’s Dragon Keeper and Dragon Haven recently and will be reviewing them shortly!
If you’d like me to review a book, I’ve posted a review policy on my about page.
You <3 your local library.
I’m always there – not their – even when I have more than enough to read.
You find Belle the least offensive of the Disney princesses.
Scary how true this is.
You own a cat, a grand selection of tea and/or coffee, an all-purpose tote bag for shopping (that may or may not be constructed of post-consumer recycled products), a knitting habit or some combination thereof.
Ok now I’m starting to be really afraid of who is peeping in my window.
You actually read the included supplementary material.
It’s important!
The word “abridged” gives you a migraine.
Especially in children’s books. Treasure Island does not need an abridgment!
You love incorporating books into your home décor.
They’re – not there – everywhere. Does that count for home decor?
ps. I will admit to not understanding a whole pile of those references and would have added this bibliophile quirk to the mix…
You buy books for your loved ones for Christmas, whether they like books or not.

p.s.s. The husband says the first step to fixing a problem is admitting it. I’ll confess, but who wants to fix anything?!

  • "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." — C.S. Lewis
