Yes! I loved this post! #7 and 8, 9 and 11, totally.
Something similar to #6, every time I see someone reading a book, my eyes instantly drift to the cover to see if I’ve read the book they’re reading.

And #8, it’s not just for bedtime, it’s for responsibilities and life in general.

Oooh, and #9! Except I actually bring big and chunky books out, even though it’s super heavy, I am ashamed.

Gooorgeous post girls 😀 And oh my gosh, yes, I agree with so much of this, hih 🙂 I also always take the jacket of the hardcover before reading. I must. Never ruin it 🙂 I could never borrow away my books, though.. I don’t like others to touch my books :p Which might be a bit silly, hih 🙂 Thank you for sharing this stunning post. <3

Oh yes to constantly rearranging bookshelves. At first they were by genre but I recently changed it to books I haven’t read to the books I have read. I do have some literary books but they are in my attic shelf. Back then people would try to get me to read them like To Kill A Mockingbird or The Catcher in the Rye but I love YA fantasy and contemporary books. And I feel like some people frowned upon me for not reading “wiser” books. I mean why does that matter? We should be allowed to read what we want to. And I never really enjoyed books I read in school either.

Hahaha, I’m glad I’m not the only one! I try not to interrupt people while they’re reading, but I can’t stop my curiosity. 😀

Ah I can’t stop not at the end of a chapter. I know how fast I can read a page so if I don’t have the allotted time = the page amount in each chapter I won’t even attempt it at that moment LOL

Haha I take one when I go to the grocery store too. My husband doesn’t understand. But I’m like what if there is some freak incident?! Lol

I think my biggest quirk (laziness) is probably that my shelves have zero organization. If I remember and have space, I put series together but sometimes I don’t. The only hard and fast rule is that read books have different shelves than books I need to read. I also rarely read books in terms of chapters–often stopping short of a chapter break because I do most of my reading at lunch or on my way to work. I do also take dust jackets off hardcovers and have been known to switch bookmarks to match book covers.

With the exception of one, I do everything you have listed! Especially number 5, it’s really bad but thank goodness for used book stores!!

With bigger books, I always check the amount of chapters and if it doesn’t say, I google it. I just need to know!
I still have Me and Earl on my shelves, because that cover! I even have it with the front out! Haha.
I also always bring a book/Kindle, even if I’m going grocery shopping…
And yes! It should be a thing to show your book every once in a while when reading in public!
