TOP TEN TUESDAY | TEN SIGNS YOU’RE A BOOK LOVER

This is a fun post. I love articles that allow me to experience that sense of looking in a mirror, one that shows all the ways in which I’m a complete basket case when it comes to books. So here are ten of the things people might notice about me that mark me as an unapologetic bookworm.

1. There are more books in my house than shelves.
2. I always have a book with me – these days I have thousands on my phone.
3. My bedside table is stacked with books I’m reading and want to read.
4. I pause TV shows and movies to see which book a character is reading or which books are lined up on a bookshelf.
5. I lose all sense of reality when I enter a bookstore.
6. Literature is the only category I get more right than wrong on Jeopardy.
7. I can tell you authors or titles of books from most genres – even ones I’ve never read.
8. Characters feel as real to me as people.
9. All my comfy clothes have something on them about books.
10. I spent most of the day today reading books to my 3-year-old. She has heard them so many times she has them memorized, but neither of us cared. We’ll read them a thousand times over as long as we can do it while cuddling!

What about you guys? What makes you stand out as a hopeless book fanatic? Which personality traits or behaviours have the non-bookish folk around you scratching their heads?

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly link-up feature created by The Broke and the Bookish and hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Every week TTT has a different topic, and everyone who links up has to create a link of ten items that fit that topic. To see past and upcoming topics, go here.
