19 Thoughts Any Bookaholic Has When They Pass, And Then Enter, A Bookstore

In This Article:

I can confidently say that at least 80 percent of the books on my bookshelf have never been read. I'm not proud of that fact, but it is a fact. I have an obsession with buying books and then checking different books out from my public library and reading those. I will admit that I've already gotten at least three new books this summer. And what am I doing? Looking for new books at the library to read. So, I understand the bookaholic struggle of wanting to buy more books despite the enormous stack of unread books at home.

1. "Oh, look a bookstore!"

2. "What is stopping me from just taking a look?"

3. "I'm not buying, just looking"

4. "No, I don't need any help, I know this store like the back of my hand."

5. "I could probably tell you where things are located."

6. "Have I read this book?"

7. "Oooh, this book looks good."

8. "I should probably read the 'Twilight' series at some point."

9. "I really shouldn't buy anything new."

10. "But if I buy the book now, I'll have it when I want to read it."

11. "That's a vicious cycle."

12. "I'm just going to hold onto this book for a minute."

13. "I wonder if they have ~insert book title~ here?"

14. "Do I have a coupon?"

15. "I really don't want to put these books back."

16. "I guess I'll just have to buy them."

17. "God, I just can't not spend money."

18. "My total is $60?!?!?!?"

19. "Oh, well, it's a pretty good investment."

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.
