There are people who dislike reading, there are people who are indifferent, and there are people who absolutely love it. For those people who absolutely love reading, especially books and novels, there are certain traits that you may notice about people who are obsessed with books. Some of these traits may come off as strange, or even crazy, to the non book lover so here are some basic explanations to hopefully help those who associate with people obsessed with reading good books.

1. They will constantly be on a look out for a new, exciting book, or series they can spend hours reading, talking and thinking about.

Good books are not always easy to find, sometimes it takes some digging to find the perfect book, or series.

2. No matter if they are as super busy book lovers will always find a time to read, whether that means doing it while brushing their teeth, eating, or sitting on the toilet.

Multitasking is a common talent of book lovers, don't judge.

3. They will become emotionally attached to characters.

They will cry, laugh, or even fist pump for the characters they have fallen in love with, which may make them seem crazy but when you spend hours upon hours, days upon days, of reading about the details of a fictional characters life it's not to have some sort of emotional investment.

4. Book lovers will always say that the book(s) are better than the movie(s) created from them.

 

No matter if the movie does a decent job of living up to the book, it can never be better because there is no way to include every precious detail of a five hundred page novel into a two hour movie. Just don't even bother arguing.

5. They will read their favorite books multiple times.

It may seem strange that someone would want to read the same book twice, ten times, or twenty times. When you really love a book you can't help but want to relive that story again and see if there was anything you missed, or forgot about the fiftieth time around.

6. Libraries are the Disney World of books (but even better because they're free).

The library provides a quiet, but exciting opportunity to explore all kinds of adventures, places and people without even having to spend money or travel.

7. They will suffer a small (or large) form of heartbreak when an exceptionally good series comes to an end, even if it was a good end.

It will be hard for the book lover to accept the fact that they will never read a new story about their favorite character(s) again.

8. They may aspire, or daydream about writing their own book and being as successful as their favorite authors.

Most will come to the conclusion that it is no simple task to make up a whole other world, for unique characters, and interesting places.

9. Book lovers will fangirl over their favorite authors if given the chance.

It would be hard to not be in awe, or inspired by the person who created a place, with characters, and an amazing storyline that has become one of your favorite things in the entire world.

10. They will seek out people, (or force and beg those close to them), to read their favorite books so they can have someone to discuss the ups and downs of their favorite stories.

One of the best sentences you could ever say to a book lover is, "What did you think about so and so book?".

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
