So, a booktuber by the name of jessethereader make a YouTube video entitled 25 Signs You’re A Book Addict. And now I’m going to go through his list and discuss whether or not I fit in them.
Sign #1: When you buy multiple editions of the same book because every cover is beautiful.
I wouldn’t say I did this much if at all, but I think if I loved a book and there was a cover change that was way better than my copy I would probably go for it.
Sign #2: When you get a book you already own as a gift and you’re ok with it.
I don’t think I’ve ever been in this situation but I think if I did whether or not I’m ok with it depends on which book we’re talking about.
Sign #3: When you try to read every day.
YES! Especially now since I’ve been in a big reading mood lately.
Sign #4: When the first thing you do at a friend’s house is scope out their bookshelves.
I feel like I have done this sometime in the past, but the fact that I couldn’t tell you the books my best friend has on his shelf I think I don’t do this (at least not anymore)
Sign #5: When you take way too many books with you on a trip.
Only if a bag full is too many.
Sign #6: When pre-order campaigns are your weakness because you need book swag.
Not at all. I’m not even sure what “book swag” is, I think it may just be books, but even so I hardly pre-order books or anything really.
Sign #7: When you count down the days to a book’s sequel.
I haven’t yet but that seems like something I might do if I really liked the book.
Sign #8: When you’re the person known for giving books as gifts.
I don’t even remember the last time I gave a book as a gift, so no.
Sign #9: When you go to a bookstore, not to buy a book, but just to browse the shelves.
Yes, I do this all the time. I also usually buy a book (or three) anyway.
Sign #10: When the librarians knows you buy name.
Not that I know of.
Sign #11: When the majority of pictures you post on instagram are of books.
I’m not on instagram, but if I was I’m not sure I would post many pictures of books (that’s just asking for spoilers.)
Sign #12: When your invited to have a social life, but all you want to do is read.
Not usually.
Sign #13: When you bring a book with you wherever you go.
I try.
Sign #14: When your friends all come to you for a book recommendation.
I’ve only been asked in person once, but I do wonder if I would get more without my book review website.
Sign #15: When you rather work out using a stack of books than real waits.
YES! YES! YES!
Sign #16: When you re-read passages from your favorite books every now and then.
This sounds like something I would do… But I have no memories of doing this.
Sign #17: When you find a little too much enjoyment in re-organising your bookshelves.
probably more than most people.
Sign #18: When you never leave your house without a book.
This sounds mysteriously like sign #13.
Sign #19: When you read even though you’re dead tired.
Not usually unless it was just an amazing book.
Sign #20: When you get random urges to touch books on your bookshelf.
Only all the time.
Sign #21: When the first thing you do with a hardcover is take off the dust jacket and see what’s on the hardback.
I have been doing this recently. So yah.
Sign #22: When you make videos online about books.
Not yet, but I probably will one day.
Sign #23: When you see someone reading a book in public and you have to see what it is.
I don’t remember the last time I saw someone reading in public, but I would defiantly be curios.
Sign #24: When you avoid all responsibilities because all you want to do is read.
It depends on how good the book I’m currently reading is.
Sign #25: When you read till your eyes bleed.
I think I read a reasonable amount. I have no memory of my eyes bleeding.
So, I think I’m a book addict over all. Comment below and tell which of these signs are relatable to you.
