Today’s Top Ten Tuesday from That Artsy Reader Girl invites us to share the top ten signs you’re a book lover.
Here are some ways folks may know I love books:
- There are very few surfaces in my apartment that do not contain books. This does not keep me from stopping at every bookshop and Little Free Library that I pass.
- I belong to three library systems — in three states — and the Library of Congress.
- My insurmountable TBR list predates Goodreads. It used to be written on brightly colored index cards in tiny writing. Periodically one still resurfaces. Occasionally, I’ve read one title of the 75+ contained on it.
- I can — and do — read (print books) and walk. Mostly I put my finger in the book when crossing streets.
- I have 60 audiobooks on my phone.
- Every time I have moved, the first box that gets unpacked contains Little Women and Anne of Green Gables. (My college roommate said she knew immediately that we’d be friends.)
- We own copies of Harry Potter titles in a variety of languages, including a couple we don’t read.
- My Halloween costumes are often based on bookish characters.
- Every year, I tamp down my crowd anxiety to brave thousands of people at the National Book Festival.
- I literally have the tshirt. (And the tote bag. And the socks. And the Christmas pjs. And … )
How about you? Are there obvious signs that you’re a book lover, too?

I love these – not having copies of my comfort reads in the house would be terrible! I couldn’t read and walk though, I’d get myself run over.

Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
