I am a huge bookworm, but this isn’t as true for some of the people I surround myself with. My boyfriend, for example, is not as avid a reader as I am. He’s suggested me several books, and I’ve given him some gentle tips too, but our reading tastes don’t exactly match up.
With that in mind, I wondered how he would see some of my favourite books from across my life. How does he do at judging a book by its cover?
When it comes to reading, I like things to be just so. I’m quite meticulous about my books and my reading habits, and I like things to be in order. I know what I like, and the following things will definitely keep me engaged when it comes to reading.
National Stationery (that’s with an E) Week, was at the start of May, and it’s a celebration of one of my favourite things – notebooks. One of my prized possessions is my reading journal, and I’ve gone through quite a few of them. Since I’m going to start a new journal in the next few weeks, it feels like now is the perfect time to take you on a little tour of my upcoming journal, the one I’ve just finished, and how I lay them out.
This post is part of Six for Sunday, run by Steph from A Little But a Lot.
Last week Steph asked us to list our bookish faves, but this week the tables have flipped a little. This time we’re talking about the aspects of books we’re not so keen on. Just like last week, I could go on and on. There are a couple of things that really grind my gears when I notice them in books. These are just some of the things I’d like to see less of in literature.
Are you a fiend for a Buzzfeed quiz? Me too. I seem to spend hours scrolling on my phone finding out what kind of cat I am, or what my favourite pizza topping says about my shoe size. I love to share the outcome of these quizzes with everyone I know.
Recently, one quiz caught my eye moreso than any other. It asked readers to take a look at their reading habits and honestly, I was hooked on it. I love calling myself out for being a really bad reader (because I know I have a lot of points that can improve) so a quiz like this one is perfect for me. I’m ready to call myself out as a pretty awful (at times) reader. Care to join me? Why not answer these questions for yourself
