My reader’s confessions ..
Heelloo my lovely peeps !! đ
I think I saw a few of my friends do something similar (?) but basically, i’m just gonna list for you all my confessions about the “Do’s or don’ts” about our bookcommunity that applies to me and how I am reading my books.
Make sense ? looks fun? Alright, let’s start !
~ I don’t read reviews before reading a book
A lot of the times, I’m scared that reading reviews before I can get my own idea of it would “ruin” it .. and I know how I seem to always have a “different” view on some books so, I much prefer go check afterward. Kind of to see if somes felt the same way I did.
~ I’ll gladly loan you my books
That is, if I trust you’ll bring it to me in one piece .. and hopefully not take forever to bring it back
~ I prefer buying my books rather than using the library, specially if I like them
not only am I not a fan of deadlines .. but I can do watever with them, you know? If it’s loaned, i’m scared to even just bend a page by mistake xd or dammage the cover somehow
~ I take overly good care of my books .. but im not opposed to eat in them
sometimes you just gotta eat … and might not wanna leave it for the time needed to aliment yourself so.. ; in fact there’s not much I don’t do while eating đ
~ My shelves looks like a mess…
I totally need a new one, the shelves that actually have books on them are kind of being overrunned with books đ so they are not really organized; just made to fit on the shelf, basically.
~ I just cannot write in them.
I know they’re mine so technically nothing is stopping me but I’ve been raised to take proper care of books and not hurt them in any way.. Even my college’s textbook didn’t escaped that rule .. I did write in them on some occasion but I felt really bad still.
~ I don’t own nor read series, aswell as fantasy.
~Â I LOVE bookmarks, and actually use them. I will change the bookmark at every new books so I can atleast use most of them xD
~ I’m a big fan of rereading; but understand why other chooses not to.
~ I rarely read in the day now, since I need more silence and concentration, I usually prefer middle of the night’s readings. daytime is spent gaming or blogging most of the time.. *aherm*
Do we have some of thoses in common? Tell me some of yours ! xx
My shelves are a mess too! One day I might make them look pretty…
Out of my 5 shelves.. only 2 are for actual books ahaha, I tried one for read and other for my tbr but alas .. đ I have too many
Haha! I doubt my TBR would fit on one shelf…the shame of it.
Quite a lot in common actually. I tend to eat while reading, I love bookmarks and change regularly so I can use them all. However, I love using the library, as I don’t often re read.

Ah neat!
We have a lot in common! I love eating while reading, it’s so relaxing. And I also take overly good care of my books. I even get a little nervous when someone wants to borrow a book.
A while back someone borrowed a book but returned it without reading, because she knew how much I love my books and she was afraid to ruin the book.. Oopss….
Oh noo đ
I had my godmother do that just because it had been a few months and .. after a while I may get a little pushy.. i want them back đ Most of the times I happend to have a urge to read them back when theyâre borrowed đ
I prefer owning the books too!
Library is too stressful with the deadlines đ For a mood reader like me, it’s death…
agree !! I did the mistake visiting my library while having 2other book started, so TWO deadlines … woops..
I always read at night because I have so many other things to do during the day.
To be fair I prefer gaming .. *aherm* but I do need all the concentration I can get and it’s much easier when everybody sleeps and NOT yap because somebody passed walking by our house outside xD
Sheik’s bark is incredibly high pitched..so that don’t help anything ..
I totally understand. I get so distracted during the day, but at night I focus so well.
I donât like using the library as well đł I do it for audiobooks, but if itâs a physical book Iâm definitely buying it! đ
Now that’s an idea … iknow our library have a website, but idk if they have audiobooks, mmh. I havent tried that yet and im kinda hesitant honestly xD
Have you seen if you can use overdrive? I have a blogpost called audiobook review and I explain how overdrive work in that one âşď¸
Ooh ! I shall look into that, Thank you !
I also loan gladly đ I’d rather people read, even if that means that my copy won’t be as perfect as it was. I sometimes read reviews before I buy though! But I definitely try to avoid spoilers. And also, since my TBR is so big, even if I read reviews, I can be almost sure that I will forget the review before I read the book anyway đ and I also cannot write in the books. Just nope nope nope! That’s why the kindle is great – painless highlights đ
heheh ,, yeah that’s one reason why I don’t mind spoilers xD I’ll probably just forget it ahah yeah also true !
I try to avoid reading whole reviews before reading them! I just trust my friends ratings and go in nearly blind!
mh true true … but what if not anyone of them have read it ? ahah .. that’s sorta my problem, books I want is less known so eh.. or I see the review AFTEr I read it already xD so at that point ..
I just lose bookmarks, so I just remember what page I’m on. People always give me bookmarks as gifts, and I feel bad that I “waste” them by not using them!
Aww – yeah I sortof feel bad too, hence why I always switch them ..
Most of the time I can remember *about* what I did read and what I didnât, so it could work but eeerh x)
I love rereading books. That make me actually realise that the book has stolen my heart , and for a few days I can’t live without it.â¤ď¸đŻ
Yes !! Absolutely, I love getting book hangovers actually, as it means the book impacted me so. Much. And I donât really start a new book until the next day anyway, to give me time to really quit the last bookâs atmosphere and all ..
Hahahhaha. Yes. I kinda feel the same.:))))
