When you visit a friend’s house, do you find time to browse their bookcases? Does it shock you if they don’t have one?
Absolutely! Doesn’t every bookworm do this?? I try to check out their shelves to see if I’ve read some of them, so we can discuss it and go crazy if it was a good book. If they haven’t read it and I enjoyed it, I make sure to tell them to read it ASAP if it’s lifechanging. It does kind of shock me if they don’t have bookcases because I have so many of them.
I love perusing other bookcases to see what we might have in common. I can’t imagine living without books so it often surprises me to meet people who don’t read much or have lots of books.
2 Kids and Tired Books BTT
Same here!
I have lots of friends who don’t read much or at all and I still can’t figure out how they haven’t figured out that their life is missing something. Mostly they claim that school ruined them when it comes to reading, but I just want to take them by the shoulders and shake them into clarity. I feel sad for people who don’t have bookshelves, because I know of all of the fantastic things they are missing out on.
I know! I try hard to get my boyfriend to read, but he hasn’t found the right genre for him yet. It’s sad
I am the exact same way! I will always dig through friends’ bookshelves if the opportunity arises. So fun comparing books! I do the same thing on goodreads, but it’s not nearly as fun! 😛
Same here!! haha I try to swap books with friends as much as possible but I find that most of my friends, oddly enough, don’t really read that much 🙁
You know what? It’s the same way with me! I don’t find that most of my friends read. I try to convert them when I can by suggesting books that I know they’ll love, but most of them just don’t enjoy it like I do. That’s one of the reasons that I decided to start my book blog! I figure there’s got to be more people out there like us! 😛
Haha agreed! I kept thinking that I needed a place to talk about books and track them (aside from goodreads) and I’ve always wanted to have a blog. It was just the right thing for me! Lol
Me too! I know exactly what you mean! 🙂
