25 BOOKISH FACTS ABOUT ME
Friday, April 08, 2016
Here are a few bookish things about me:
- I read more physical books than ebooks, simply because I much prefer the feel of a real book in my hands.
- If I'm not writing first thing, I get most of my reading in in the half hour I get up before my son.
- The smell of library books is one of my favorite things.
- I am rarely found reading without a cup of coffee nearby.
- I find it impossible to narrow down my choices to a few favorite books. So I don't.
- I definitely judge books by their covers.
- You will never see me dog-ear the pages of a book I own or borrowed from someone else (but apparently this doesn't include library books...).
- I think that my weakness for romance novels stems back to never seeing my mother without a Harlequin romance in her hand as I grew up.
- The last book I read was "An Unforgivable Love Story" by B.L. Berry
- I am capable of suffering from terrible book hangovers.
- Receiving books as gifts is the best. thing. ever.
- I try to write reviews right after I finish a book so that I don't forget what I want to say about it. And trust me, I will forget if I don't do it right away.
- I can't read hardcover books with the dust jacket on. It drives me nuts.
- My favorite genres are probably contemporary romance and literary fiction.
- If a book keeps coming across my radar (ie, everyone I follow online is blabbing on about it), I'm more than likely going to give in and read it. Case in point: The Love that Split the World.
- I've written and published three novellas, and am currently working on what will hopefully be my first published novel.
- I pretty much always carry a book with me. You never know when you'll be stuck waiting somewhere.
- Books are my favorite type of home decor.
- Bookstores are where I go when I need time to myself.
- I organize the books on my shelves by their spine colors.
- I share most -- if not all -- of what I read on Instagram, using #rachelreadsthis
- I'm obsessed with bookish photography (hello crimebythebook and sweptawaybybooks)
- I get genuinely excited when someone asks me for book recommendations.
- I am not a fan of audio books. at. all.
- I go through phases with my favorite authors, but currently I'm majorly crushing on Meg Wolitzer and Emily Henry.
