You Might Be A Reader If….

Hi friends,

Happy Wednesday! Reading brings such joy to life. It transports us to faraway places and worlds. It takes us on emotional journeys. We laugh. We weep. We are moved by stories. But all stories need readers. They are the heart of why writers pen novels. Without readers, our stories would remain ours alone. Today I thought it would be fun to share some ‘you might be a reader if…’ I’d love to know how many apply to you. I’m counting the number that applies to me, as all writers are readers. That’s where our love of story began—by burying our nose in a book.

You Might Be a Reader If:

1) You have very strong feelings one way or another about marking pages in a book, which can include highlighting passages, turning down the corner on the last page you read, or making notes inside the book. You are either strongly for or against the above. And believe there is only one “right” way.

2) You literally wear your love of books.

3) You either love the narrator of an audiobook or hate them because they don’t sound like the characters do in your head.

4) You have a check-out card to keep track of who borrows your books. Or you don’t lend out books, ever.

5) You have book boyfriends. You know who you are. LOL!

6) You take the character’s sides. I.e., Team Edward or Team Jacob.

7) You’ve had to either move furniture or gotten rid of some to make room for your growing bookshelves.

8) You categorize your books by color. I LOVE these!

9) You love the smell of books!

10) You’ve experienced a book hangover.

Okay. I will admit to 6. How many did you get?

While I have you, awesome readers, here, I’d love to ask you a few questions that inquiring authors would love to know.

1) Do you like to pre-order books or wait until they release to purchase them?

2) Do you enjoy being on launch teams or to support authors in other ways?

3) What type of things do you enjoy authors sharing on social media most?

4) Where is your favorite place to connect with authors online?

5) What is the #1 reason you choose to buy a book?

Thanks, friends! Can’t wait to hear how many you got and your answers to any or all of the questions. Appreciate you!

Have a blessed day!
