This week's topic is Top Ten Bookish Confessions
1. I dog-ear books sometimes. Especially passages that I love.
2. I forget to highlight passages that I love, and end up having to search Goodreads for them. I'm too lazy to pick up the actual book and look for it.
3. I sometimes get fed up with characters, so I read their voices as whiney or mocking in my head.
4. I don't use my library as much as I should.
5. Sometimes I want to skip to the end of the book and find out what happens because I'm not sure I want to invest that much time into it.
6. Sometimes I do #5.
7. Sometimes I just Wikipedia the book to find out the answer.
8. Sometimes I don't admit to reading certain books, even though they become very popular for no apparent reason. Fifty Shades of Grey, anyone?
9. I once had a $20 library fine ... for two years.
10. I still have a lot of my college text books. I'll probably never need them, but I like knowing that I have that information at my fingertips. Stupid, I know.
How about you?
I dog-ear books too, but only really old ones or books with ugly covers. Bad, isn;t it? :)
ReplyDeleteI've kept many of my college textbooks as well, though it's hard to imagine the next time I will need information about biomedical research ethics...
ReplyDeleteAnd your #2 totally spoke to me! It's kind of nice, though, to see that so many other people also liked the quotes I liked!
Thanks for sharing your TTT! :)
I have a lot of my college text books, as well, but mostly from my freshman/sophomore year. Then I learned about selling books back, and after that I only kept the ones that the edition was changing or were interesting from my major.
ReplyDeleteI totally give characters I don't like whiny voices in my head too! I just solidifies that fact that I don't like them and now I never will haha! Great confessions :) My TTT:

i totally do #3 too! Sometimes it just makes me feel better. i also sometimes tell that annoying character OUT LOUD to shut up already. i've done that last thing more times than i'd actually like to admit. :)
ReplyDeleteI have, on maybe one or two (or more...) occasions, used wikipedia to cheat. And on the not so rare occasion, if I get too nervous or curious about a book I skip to the end. Glad to hear I'm not the only one! Really enjoyed your list, and I love your owl!
