Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday!
Top Ten Tuesday is an original weekly feature created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is:
Ten Signs You’re a Book Lover
1. You don’t have “text neck”. You have “book neck”.
2. You prefer an E-reader over a book because they aren’t as heavy to hold in your hands for a long period of time.
3. You prefer an E-reader because no one can tell just how many books you actually have on there.
5. You have no idea what T.V. shows are currently popular, but you know what books are going to be released next month.
6. Your friends send you texts before they go on vacation asking what book they should take on vacation.
7. You text your friends (who may or may not be readers) about your favorite books when they are on sale so they too can read them.
8. Reading before bed does not put you to sleep. You can’t read in bed because you will stay up all night to finish the book.
9. You spend your time driving, cleaning, etc. listening to audiobooks instead of music.
10. You own a t-shirt, mug, sticker, bag, or anything else with a book quote, book saying, or author name/group name on it.
How many of these could you check off my list?
#3 totally made me laugh. I’ve had comments over the years about the number of books I own so I guess I’ve become sensitive about it. That’s when the Kindle comes in handy. And #5 is so me. I’m clueless about TV (vert rarely even turn it on and I don’t follow anything TV-related) but I know about my favorite author’s releases! 🙂
Yeah, I am only allowed 1 and half bookcases, so the number of physical books I own is low. My Kindle, though… I’ll never tell!
Fun list! I have 6 of these 🙂
That’s awesome! Thanks!
Yes, that’s one of the many benefits of e-readers!
My TTT .
They’re wonderful!
Check, check, check, just about everyone is spot on. E-readers let you set your font and size which is easier on old tired eyes. http://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/03/ttt-033120.html
Thank you! Yes, making font bigger is so nice!
I read before bed and it never makes me sleepy!! I just want to keep going, so I get you there!! haha. Several of these are so true!
My TTT!
I don’t know how reading puts people to sleep.
It was putting me to sleep like the first 6 months of my little ones life. I was soo exhausted that I couldn’t even read! Lol
Yeah, I remember feeling that way.
Ha! Love number one. And yes to number 5! What a fun list. <3
Thank you! 🙂
I am all about that ebook love, and I like the way it tells me time left too. And #9 is all me. I am listening to an audiobook at this very moment.
I wish I was listening to audiobooks. My daughter and husband being home 24/7 has me not listening to them right now.
Ha, #3 is so very true! If it exists on the Kindle, it’s not a physical book and therefore it can’t be counted against me, right? That’s my motto, anyway. #5 is so very true, too. (Psst, #4 seems to have gone missing. Probably with all the books in my Kindle TBR).
Here’s my TTT post.
Totally can’t! 😉
haha! I loveeee this list!! You nailed it!!!
Why, thank you! 🙂
Ha! Such a fun list and so many fit me. LOL!!
#2 for sure and haha #3 made me laugh! It’s a mystery how many books are actually on there lol. I don’t even know how many I have!
#5 I can totally relate to as well.
I need to go back through all mine and pair them down. I try to do that every so often.
Oh my, I think I’ve got a combo of book neck and phone neck, LOL.
Actually, me too. Especially lately.
5 and 9 are definitely true for me.
Yay! I love hearing that!
Great list. The only parts I don’t agree with are the e-readers and the audiobooks. I have to have an “old fashioned” book in my hand. But I do understand those who prefer the other options. Other than that – all great.
My TTT.
Thank you!
Yeah, I get that. I used to prefer “real” books too.
As I said, I undersand when people prefer e-books but I just don’t. My eyes don’t hold out that long, somehow.
Oh, do read on a Kindle? The paperwhite was an eye saver for me. I can make the font larger and it’s like reading on an actual book, not a tablet or phone screen. My friend just got one and she no longer gets eye strain or migraines from reading anymore.
I am 100% behind the ereader love. My kindle has been a godsend and I find I’m likely to get through a book faster on the kindle and still get the same emotional connection.
Yes! Exactly! 🙂
Haha I pretty much relate to all of these! Except I love physical books as much as ebooks, but since I just don’t have space for physical books anymore, I’m a about the ebooks now 🙂 And definitely listen to audiobooks a lot too!
I’m glad you like all of them! 🙂 It’s nice to have a variety of ways to experience books.
I have 5 signs of these! I’m a huge e-reader and I always like to read before going to bed. They’re easier to carry and I can customize the font of the text.
Yay! I am glad you found some on my list that apply to you.
Audiobooks transform the mundane so much don’t they? Sometimes I look forward to driving bc I know I can listen to my book lol and I hate driving!!
LOL. Yep. That’s the benefit of driving for sure!
No. 3 is a TOTAL mood! Haha my Kindle is a dangerous place for all those unread books because they just disappear into the void but they’re still there whenever Amazon reminds me that I’ve already purchased this book before 😂 I also love that I don’t have to stress about finding actual shelf space to store my books! Great list 😃
Thank you!
Great list! I’d have to agree with all of these, haha.
Thank you!
I can’t relate to some of these, but I love this list! I never got into ebook and audiobooks for varying reasons, but I’ll admit it is definitely easier to hide how many books you actually own! #8 has been happening to me quite a bit lately too…Not that I’ll ever complain about finding a good book!
Thank you!
I agree with most of these, probably about 5-7 depending on the day. I used to be just a physical copy person (and still own a ton), but I do love my kindle paperwhite. Also I love audiobooks, but my drives are usually short most days, so there’s no point in listening then. But I do on slow days at work, and on road trips to visit family.
I think most of the book readers can relate to above 10 points. Though I don’t have an E-Reader, I read on laptop mostly.
Thank you!
