Top Ten Tuesday – Ten Signs You’re a Bibliophile
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Top Ten Tuesday has been one of my favorite memes ever since I started blogging, so huge thanks to Jana for taking over the hosting duties!
This week’s TTT topic is Ten Signs You’re a Book Lover (basically, people know you’re a book lover because… i.e., you’re always carrying a book or two, your library card broke from overuse, etc.). I thought this was a fun topic and lots of things came to mind that give me away as a book lover to everyone who knows me.
10 Signs You are a Book Lover
1. You go to the library so often you have your library card number memorized.
* * * * *
2. No matter what the occasion, when someone asks you for gift ideas,
your answer is always books.
* * * * *
3. No matter where you go, you always have at least one book
(and probably your kindle) with you, so that you’re always prepared.
* * * * *
4. If someone says they’re looking for a good book to read, you are always ready with the book recommendations.
* * * * *
5. When traveling, even if you know there’s a 99% chance you won’t spend your time reading,
you still have to be prepared for that other 1%.
* * * * *
6. You can’t walk past a library or bookstore without gazing at it longingly.
* * * * *
7. There are random stack of books everywhere in your home from where your TBR is so out of control.
* * * * *
8. You find yourself trying to squeeze a few more pages of reading in whenever you possibly can. #multitasking
* * * * *
9. Whenever people ask you why you’re tired,
the answer is always the same: “I stayed up too late last night reading.”
* * * * *
10. Your idea of fashion always gives you away.
* * * * *
What are some other signs you may be a book lover?
These are all so wonderful and fit me perfectly! Such a cool post! Hugs, RO
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
YES to #1! I memorized mine so I could log into my account from work, haha! #5 is also me – I always bring way more books than I actually end up reading!
LOL! I’m so glad I’m not only one who does number 1.
Heh, I have my library card number memorized, too.
My TTT .
Yay, I’m glad I’m not the only one, lol.
Staying up all night reading because you can’t put the book down. I resemble that. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/03/ttt-033120.html
Me too, lol.
I literally do each and every single one of these so I guess I am a strong bookworm. But then again, for me I think I already knew that 😉 I love the gif you chose for the multitasking one… it is so perfect! Ever since I discovered audiobooks chores are something I can look forward to hehe ^.^
Audiobooks while doing chores is truly the best. I listening while folding the laundry, ironing, etc. and it makes even my most hated chores more tolerable.
Yes to all of these! One thing I noticed is that whenever I bring a book with me when there is waiting involved (like a doctor appointment), I never have to wait. But if I forget a book, the wait is super long. Why, universe??
I have been in that position as well. I finally ended up installing the kindle app on my phone and syncing it to my kindle so I can at least use that in a pinch.
Okay, so we haven even more in common than our astrological sign😏 Doesn’t everyone know their library card number?
Love this💜
Lol, I’m just glad to hear I’m not the only one. 🙂
LOL I actually do have my library card memorized (from entering it so often in OverDrive). And I absolutely always have a book with me. Never leave home without it. And when traveling I always, always overestimate the number of books I’ll be reading. I pack loads (physical and Kindle).
I pack tons of them too and continue to do it even as I complain about how much my luggage weighs because of the books, lol.
I can SO relate! No. 9 – I’m shattered today because I HAD to stay up until the wee small hours to discover what happened next… And I’ve been known to turn back for home to pick up my Kindle when running late – and not bother to track down my phone. Kindle or phone? It’s a no-brainer!! Great article, Suzanne.
Haha! Yes, I would definitely go back home if I forget my Kindle.
I relate to so many of these things. If I am at a really good part in a book, but I have to get ready for work, I will try to brush my teeth or blow out my hair while reading. It’s not easy, but you have to do what you have to do.
OMG, yes! I usually have my kindle propped up on the bathroom counter for that very reason.
Yes. Yes to all of these!
Although, I’m slacking in the bookish clothing department… I look at so many cute shirts but never actually buy them. 🙁
I need more bookish clothing too. I have a couple of t-shirts but could definitely use a few more.
Ha these are great! And so true. I absolutely CANNOT go past a bookstore without going in, even if only briefly. 🙂
Right? It’s like the siren’s call, lol.
Ha! All of these fit me except the first one, and that’s only because I have my library card number already saved on my computer so I never have to type it in when checking out a book. LOL! Great list!!!
Thanks! 🙂
Oooh I love all the gifs <3 <3 And I am always the person that packs way too many books for traveling even if I know I probably won't have time to read 🤣🤣
Glad I’m not the only one!
Great list! These definitely have my name written all over them 😂 And of course you have to be super extra prepared for that 1% chance you’ll end up reading on holiday! Haha I always end up filling too much of my luggage space with books that don’t get read… But they do get photographed 😂
LOL!
Ha! This is so fun, Suzanne. I can relate to almost all of them. #5 and #6 especially! LOL. Really missing my local bookstore and library right now.
Thank you! 🙂
Same to every single one of these except maybe #10, but also, now I NEED THAT SHIRT.
Right? I love it too.
I LOVE this!! 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
Bwahahaha yes to all of them Suzanne!!!!
🙂
Yes to all! This is so me!
Number 888888 — I am always looking for news times to read — which is audiobooks are the best. I get to read even while at the gym lol
I’m so in love with audiobooks now. Can’t believe how much I used to dislike them, lol.
I love these and can see myself too! 😉 x
