when fans pair up book characters, they call it shipping. they also make a fandom name for it, like 'Percabeth'

A ship combines the names of two characters. Example: Percabeth, meaning Percy and Annabeth. A couple does does have to be real in order to be a ship. Example: Perico, meaning Percy and Nico.

Najma You tell everyone that you are going to sleep so that they don't interrupt you while you are reading


message 107: by Najma (new) - rated it 5 stars

Najma you want books with glow-in-the-dark ink to read at night so that your parents dont notice that your light is turned on and you are awake


Ashmita Ghosh You put on an audiobook while reading a physical book so you can get more reading done.

You accidentally read a spoiler about a characters death and deny it as you read the book.


➳Fiona's not a ogre➳ You know your a bookworm when your little sister yells at you to turn of the light but you don't because you have to read the last chapter.

Brina Brown You know when your mom grounds you from books, and cleans your room for you. (The only thing in my room is books... She really does take all my books out...)


TheDaughterOfNike When you have a breakdown when a page is bent/ripped/spilt on/or anything which is book abuse happens to your book and everyone within a mile stares at you like your a crazy person (happened to me with city of bones, I still feel bad about it)

When you just got paid and you yell "Let's go to the bookstore!" but nobody gets it and your mom has to take you into another room nad explain that people don't spend all their money on books and you should save, so you just yell, "The fandom spends their money on books!" and then run away.

When you are in bed crying. Someone walks in, asks why, and you say, with tears in your eyes, 'It's over. the book, it's over'.


message 124: by [deleted user] (new)

When you pass a major clothing store, ignore it, and see Barnes and Noble. Then you began to ask repeatedly, 'Can we go in? Can we go in? Can we go in? PLEASE?'

Caitlin When, as a child, your mom threatened that she wouldn't take you to the library instead of threatening time-out.


Caitlin When you bring a book everywhere with you, just in case things get boring.


Caitlin When you've read The Percy Jackson Series five times through and stop random kids to talk about the characters whenever you see them with one of the books. :D They either thought I was insane, or the greatest person they've ever met.
