Top Ten Tuesday Bookish Confessions




It’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish! This week's topic is Bookish Confessions.  This is a repeat topic and what's crazy it's my first Top Ten Tuesday topic when I first started blogging.  LOL!!  So crazy.  I have quite a few confessions so here goes:





1.   A confession that some of my readers may not know is that 98% of my books come from the library.  I hardly EVER buy a book anymore.  I just can't afford all the books that I read.  I do get jealous though when I see everyone's bookcases. Especially those booktubers!  Man their bookcases are huge.

2.  I love my ereader!  I never thought I would say that but my mom bought me one for my birthday a few years ago and I didn't think I would like it. Of course since mom and dad got it for me I gave it a shot and just love it.  I get quite a few Netgalley books on it too!  I have upgraded from my Nook Color to a Nexus 7 tablet which is really nice and I enjoy taking it on trips.  The other good thing about an ereader is that I don't have to worry about the covers matching on books.  I love my covers matching and can't stand when they change mid-series.

3.  I moderate two big groups on goodreads.  The Stephen King Fan group which now has almost 7000 members and the Young Adult Book Club which about 7000 members too.  I work really hard on these groups and it's pretty fun.  Feel free to stop by and join in.

4.  I get mad when I go to the library and someone is parked in one of the two spots set aside for people who are supposed to park and just go up to the building and return their books and then go back to their car.  Instead they park in those spots and go inside and do whatever.  THE SIGN IS IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE!

5.  I didn't read all through high school.  I just didn't have time.  I read all through middle school (Fear Street) and then I didn't read again until college!!  I just was more into other things and now all I can think about is all the books I missed out on!

6.  I don't cry when reading books normally.  Maybe it's that I stay away from books that make me cry.  Just not interested in being sad when I am reading.  I want to be happy and get away from normal life.  So I haven't even bothered reading Fault in Our Stars because I know it is supposed to be sad.

7.  I do NOT loan out books that are signed.  I just refuse to even give someone the possibility to lose it or ruin it.  I'm sure it would be an accident if they did that but I just don't want to deal with it.

8.  I hate people loaning me books and saying it is the best book ever.  I think feel like I have to read it and then push it up in front of everything else on my TBR pile!! I would much rather have a gift card to a book shop.  Funny thing is though I always want to gift people books that I love. 

9.  I am NOT a writer.  I swear that people who don't read just assume that if you are a reader then you are a writer.  I can't think of plots at all.  Just ... none.

10. I do NOT bend corners of books to save my spot.  That who "dog-ears" annoys me and that ruins the book.  I mean how would you like to read a library book is someone has bent it all to hell???? 



What about you??  What are your bookish confessions???
