I'd Rather Be Reading: The Delights and Dilemmas of the Reading Life

by Anne Bogel

You cannot, no matter how or what you try, persuade your child to read your favorite childhood book.

She never finished Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. I bought the whole Fudge Series in anticipation 😭😭😭

You have countless unread books at home, but you can’t resist buying one more.

I shall not be judged.

You don’t know how to pronounce a character’s name, and you can’t truly know the character until you know for certain you’re saying the name right.

I said Hermione Granger fifty five times.

You want to tell the world about a book you loved, but you fear your friends won’t be able to see past the terrible cover.

Looking at you Sarah MacLean!

You’re reading in a moving vehicle, and it’s making you queasy.

You find yourself alarmingly invested in the lives of fictional characters.
