Bookish Things I Have OR Should Quit!
Hello bookworms! I’m here today because it’s Tuesday and obviously that means its time for the weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish – Top Ten Tuesday!
This week the topic is the top bookish things (whether that be books, habits, authors, etc) that I have or should quit! This is a very tough topic, but keep reading to see my awkward attempt to create a list for this week’s topic! Let’s see if we can reach 10!
1. I HAVE quit…
Trying to understand or find love in the mystery, crime or horror genre. Sorry my loves, but it’s not happening. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo destroyed me for crime/mystery after only ten pages! And I get too paranoid at night to even stomach the mildest horror novel.
2. I SHOULD quit…
Dog-earring the pages of my books to mark quotes or as an alternative to a bookmark. It’s like ripping a patch of hair out of someones head!
3. I HAVE quit…
Trying to read Fifty Shades of Grey. It’s not happening no matter how much curiosity the book sparks within me. I saw a glimpse of those explicit scenes and I heard of the things this book promotes, and no thank you!
4. I SHOULD quit…
Trying to be a book polygamist. I only just recently started trying it a month or so ago, and I’m pretty sure it destroyed my entire reading mojo. Of course, that could have been due to other factors.
5. I HAVE quit…
Trying to be a book polygamist! No surprises there.
6. I SHOULD quit…
Buying the ebook and then buying the paperback or hardback edition of a book – but let’s be series, this is never gonna happen because of the immediate access to a book when you buy it as an ebook opposed to me having to wait a week for it to arrive from Book Depository. But I still want that physical copy… Bookworm problems indeed!
7. I SHOULD quit…
Reading when I’m doing other things such as making tea or making a snack to eat, or studying or just functioning as a normal human being. But again, let’s be serious. That’s not gonna change. Ever.
8. I SHOULD quit…
Requesting books because of their pretty cover. AH I’M SORRY OKAY I PROMISE TO READ THE BLURB PROPERLY NEXT TIME.
9. I SHOULD quit…
Prioritizing reading over school work… but – say it with me – let’s be serious.
Tell me your fabulous thoughts, bookworms!
