Chat Between Chapters: Bookish Habits

For this discussion post, we are joining the Book Blogger Hop topic hosted by Coffee-Addicted Writer. Here’s the topic for this week.

Do you have any bookish habits or quirks you catch yourself doing again and again? 

 

 Julie:

Does hoarding books like air count as a bookish habit? Because I have a problem. I need therapy. I’ve gotten so much better about physical books but digital? OMG I am just collecting like it will level me up in some game.

Now I’m still struggling to cull my collection, and since we move so much it’s hard to move with so many books. But.. most of my collection was in storage for 5 years so it’s really hard for me to go through and part with it. Sure, most books I will never read again. Some are collectibles for me though so I will not part with them. Others? I have gathered but *gasp* never read, so I can’t get rid of them yet, right?

That’s another bad/weird bookish habit – collecting more books than I can read in a lifetime. Wanting to read all the books and moving to the next shiny when my backlog is growing faster than a sandworm.

My favorite bookish habit though? Curling up on the couch with a blanket, a beverage of choice, and one of my pets (really, whichever one will curl up with me).

 

Lynn:

My quirk might be taking all of the recommendations and adding them to my every growing TBR? And I am definitey that person who reads the new and shiny over anything on my TBR for ages.

I mostly listen to books. It’s the only motivation for actually working out. I will always pick the audiobook format over anything else.

I also have a lot of books. But I’ve cut back on buying books and generally use the library for my reads. But if anyone wants to come over and unpack all my books, I’d be ok with that.
