Julia When you accidentally bend the cover of a paperback and cry

Always a nearby object... the book is too precious. But something must be thrown ;)

I do that all the time!

When you let someone borrow one of your favorite books, and when they return it they say they hated it. So then you either scream at them, don't talk to them, or take your anger out on your pillow.


message 54: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh no! I hope its okay.

When you dust the covers of your book at least once a month.


message 55: by [deleted user] (new)

That's good. I can't stand it when my books get hurt.


Esther When you have to stop reading for a few days before you can recuperate and start a new series


Ellen When you have 50 books on hold at the library, and thats only because you cant get more on your Account (so you use your sister)

Books make up most of your christmas list


Najma you buy a book you have already read


Najma after reading an amazing book series, you just don't want to get back to reality

Bookworm54 You sometimes think in the terms of your favorite series while still in the real world and accidentally call one of your teachers Professor Slughorn because they have an extremely similar name... oops


message 65: by [deleted user] (new)

I did that once. Her name was Mrs. Dodge. I called her Mrs. Dodds once. A couple times.

You Know You're A Booknerd when you kiss your books goodnight.

I constantly want to punch those people so badly.


message 67: by Kate (new)

Kate When you have a ridiculous, unattainable number of books on your to-read list yet you still keep searching for more to add to it.


message 68: by Kate (new)

Kate When your books ARE your friends.

Oops. Took it to an awkward place.

Um....when you'd rather read than eat. Or play Candy Crush or whatever stupid trendy game is up this week. Or sleep.


message 69: by [deleted user] (new)

When you kick your friends out of your house so you can read.


Roseena Peralta When you make it a field trip for your toddler to go to the library and she comes out with her little book load =]


Amber When you violently throw your book across the room because the ending upset you so bad.

That last one is just begging for a broken back! I had to pack all of mine in a *bunch* of little boxes just so I could carry them.

And I feel you with the bookshelves, luckily mine are made out of pretty solid wood so the shelves don't bow. I had to get creative with how I stacked my books so I could get them all to fit.


message 73: by [deleted user] (new)

When you finished a book with a HUGE cliffhanger (view spoiler) and you need to throw something. Usually a nearby object. Not the book. The book is too precious.


message 74: by Kate (new)

Kate When you're considering buying a smaller bed to make room for more bookshelves.


Kylee When you sit in your room and cry after reading The Blood of Olympus because there are no more demigod books.


message 76: by [deleted user] (new)

When you see or hear something and you immediately think of a character, situation, or even the title of the book

Cries when there are no books available in the household because you read them all

Can finish a 470 page book in two days

Rereads series or books (Percy Jackson, Black Beauty, The Westing Game, etc.)

:)


message 85: by [deleted user] (new)

YAS totally agree!!!

I can't even say how disappointed I am from the Sea of Monsters!!


➳Fiona's not a ogre➳ Ik I was like oh my gosh this is so bad the book was not even too good but the movie made the book look like Heaven


message 87: by [deleted user] (new)

Well actually the Sea of Monsters was my favorite. Out of the Percy Jackson series. So that's why I SO disappointed.


message 88: by Alayna (new) - added it

Alayna You go to your school library and hand the librarian a seven page essay on why you can only check out three books at a time!!!

Or when you have your relatives visit (who live in Oregon a your in Idaho) and you sit up in your room with them awkwardly until they glance at your book shelves, and you have six hour conversations about whatever book they read that you have read 600 times.

When you figure out you have a step cousin on your stepdads side with the same name as your favorite character and you fangirl with her and she doesn't know what you're talking about

Oh ok last one, when your bored and have nothing to do so you ask tell your mom you were going for a walk and you end up at the library instead of the park where you told your friends you would meet!!!!


I've done all of these and I'm that person who brings up books when there is everything else to do!!!!


message 89: by [deleted user] (new)

When you don't have enough bookshelves for all your books.


message 90: by Kate (new)

Kate When you swear to yourself, absolutely SWEAR, not to buy another book until you clear your TBR of books you've already bought...but then that one sequel comes out that you've been waiting a year for and you buy it anyway...and five more other books, besides.

:-/


message 91: by [deleted user] (new)

All the time.


message 92: by [deleted user] (new)

when you literally scoot or crawl to see the books on bottom shelves at the library (done this so many times)


message 93: by [deleted user] (last edited Oct 05, 2015 04:37PM) (new)

Been there, done that.

When you ship something so hard you want to smack yourself in the face with a brick.


message 94: by Kate (new)

Kate When you get really upset because all used book sellers put stickers on book covers. I hate stickers on my books. Usually the covers get damaged pulling them off.


message 95: by [deleted user] (new)

when you fantasize yourself being a character in a book and realizes you're not that character so you have a mental break down.
XD
(me)


Samara When You can make a reference to any book by just hearing one word


message 97: by [deleted user] (new)

OMG YAS!!!!


➳Fiona's not a ogre➳ When you have a ship in a love triangle and that other person you did not shipped dies!!! And you get happy.


message 100: by [deleted user] (new)

Ok.... question....
I know I will sound super stupid, but what is shipping?
I hear it everywhere and I've only been on GR for like two months. I am a huge reader and I somehow have never heard of that term before.
