The Life of a Book Lover

17 Things Every Book Lover Can Relate To

ther it be going into a bookstore with empty hands, and leaving with twenty pounds of books, or lying on the grass on a sunny breezy day reading a book, we have all been there. Or at least, those who live that book loving life have been there. Here is a list of 17 things that you, my book loving brethran, might be able to relate to. So keep calm, and read on!

1. You never have enough shelf space.


2. It doesn't matter where you are going, when you see a sign for a book sale, all plans come to a halt:


3. Chanel #5 doesn't hold a candle to new or old book smell.


4. When you read a book, fall in love with it, and now it is your sole mission to MAKE EVERYONE ELSE LOVE IT AS MUCH AS YOU!


5. When you are on the VERY last few pages, and someone tries to ask you what you are reading or otherwise tries to instigate conversation.

6. When a book gets you all emotional and causes you to cry/yell at the character/blush/exclaim and you are in a public place when all these feels are going down.


7. When you get those Barnes and Noble gift cards for your birthday.


8. When you finish a book, and then realize....the next one won't be out until 2017...


9. When you finally get a book after being on the library waiting list for about 200 years.


10. You check out so many books from the library that you want to read and enjoy....but then you get assigned 8 million things to do for school. Most of which include reading books that you do NOT want to read, and your own cute pile of carefully chosen books just sits there....mocking you....


11. When you enter a bookstore and think "I'm home".


12. When you see a cute boy/girl in a bookstore....


13. When you pack for a vacation:


14. Reading outside on a sunny day= love.


15. Your response when people say that "they always see you reading, but what else do you do?"



16. When someone says they hate reading, you get angry. Really really angry.


17. Because at the end of the day, you really really REALLY love books.

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.
