25 Bookish Facts About Me!

1.      I hate mass market paperbacks.
2.      I NEVER lend books.
3.      I hate when they publish a book with the movie on the cover.
4.      I would love to publish a book.
5.      I haven’t yet read a graphic novel.
6.      The cover is a make or break factor when considering purchasing a book.
7.      Even though I’m 20 years old I’m still waiting for my Hogwarts acceptance letter.
8.      I always take the dust jacket off a hardback while reading it.
9.       I’m a Ravenclaw.
10.  I love almost any book set in World War II.
11.  I read all the Junie B. Jones series growing up.
12.  I would love to work in a library or bookstore for a summer.
13.  I love how hardbacks look but prefer reading paperbacks.
14.  I do most of my reading before bed or between classes.
15.  I get very car sick if I read in a moving vehicle.
16.  I usually read non-fiction or more dense books while on vacation and lighter reads during the school year.
17.  I love audio books for car rides or bus rides.
18.  When I listen to an audio book the narrator has to sound like the character sounds in my head otherwise I won’t read it. For example, any Jane Austen novel must be narrated in a British accent.
19.  I read the Harry Potter series when I was older because since my cousin (who in my child eyes was practically a grown up but was actually like 12) read Harry Potter I was convinced that it was a series for adults.
20.  Classics really intimidated me but after reading “To Kill a Mockingbird”(my first classic and one of my favorite books) I fell in love with the genre.
21.  I hate when people try to police what other people read or how they feel about a book. Ugh! It drives me crazy. There is nothing worse than having a book snob tell you that what your reading is a waste of time because it is not a classic.
22.  When I was growing up I would beg my mom to take me to the library and would cry when she said it was time to go home.
23.  I haven’t read any of the Lord of the Rings books, mainly because they intimidate me soooooo much.
24.  I prefer physical copies over e-books.
25.  “The Book Thief” absolutely broke my heart. Even though the narrator tells you how it ends in the first few pages it destroyed me. I was depressed for two weeks after finishing it.
