10 Habits You Develop When You're A Bibliophile Through And Through

In This Article:

As a book lover, you probably have habits that others don't. From your favorite type of shopping being at a bookstore to most of your room being covered in books. These habits are just second nature to you, you don't even have to think about them anymore. While other people are out doing things you might be at home on the couch reading a good book.

1. That feeling you get when you walk into a bookstore.

Some people get this feeling when they walk into Disney World, but no for you a bookstore is your Disney World.

2. You love book stores, but they also overwhelm you.

There are so many books with so many pages and so many options, how will you pick the best book?! Reading the back of every book you pick up just overwhelms you even more, but somehow someway you end up leaving with one book.

3. You love to touch every cover of every book.

The cover just looks pretty, so of course, you have to feel the cover of the book to see what kind of material it is. I think every book lover can relate that they have that favorite kind of cover material.

4. You secretly smell the pages of a new book.

Sounds weird when it's written out, but book lovers know that there is no better smell than new book pages.

5. Getting a new bookmark even though you have a million.

When you're not being overwhelmed by books you're being overwhelmed by the amount of bookmarks you can buy for all your new books. You bought a new book so why not get a new bookmark, the combination goes perfectly

6. Yeah so you might be reading 2 or more books at once.

You didn't finish a book, but then a new book came out you just had to read, so it's all good you'll finish both sometime soon. In the end, you finish both and then immediately start a new book.

7. When you're reading a series those characters become like real people. 

It's like when you've had friends you known for a long time, you know everything about them, all the things they've gone through and how they grew up.

8. When you finish a series you're not sure what to do next.

You can have a series that's 3 or 7 books and you want to find out what happens next, so you just keep reading, until there are no more books left to read. Then you just kinda sit there and all the questions you have are running through your mind.

9. You are always hesitant to let people borrow your books.

It's like you have a certain trust issue every time someone asks you to borrow your books because only you can accidentally bend a page or get food on it.

10. Looking at your collection of books is like looking at the best accomplishment. 

You put everything in order from series to random books and it all just turns out so neat. You look back at all the books you've read and think how it was such a good story. You think of how you felt with all the characters and look back at their stories.

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.
