And please, for the love of creativity, DO NOT STEAL ANYTHING!!!
*clears throat* - -- moving on...
Hours and hours of fun are completely guaranteed **
As many of you do, I also love to receive recommendations of any books you think may fit my shelves, so feel free to post or reply at any time.
PLEASE NO SPOILERS
FYI
The following Safety Measures may be Advised and encouraged but not required while reading:
1. a cozy blanket depends on the weather
2. a cup of hot chocolate, coffee, tea, water or any drink of your choice again; depends on the weather
3. a notebook, pencil or pen the use of any electronic devices is not recommended. A significant drop on attention spam has been reported
4. cell phone or camera to take those cool pictures of the books while reading is a MUST but only if kept on airplane or do not disturb mode to avoid any distractions
5. reading glasses or contact lenses if necessary
6. in the event of impromptu, unsolicited or unwelcomed interruptions, the use of a polite yet menacing DO NOT DISTURB look will be encouraged.
7. the most important one; Have FUN and DO NOT STOP Reading!!!
***Exceptions to #7 is the Required use of a bookmark in the events of bathroom breaks, the need to feed yourself or others (including your pets), and the well-deserved sleep time (even though most of the times you just NEED to read only one more chapter). In such cases use an alarm clock to control the urge of the dreaded all-nighters.
Disclaimer:
**Safe return to the realm of the living may NOT be guaranteed.
Adverse reactions may include: losing track of time, journaling, the awakening of your senses, an increase in your vocabulary/IQ, and other positive changes (less time spent on the internet or binge-watching Netflix, is most likely to occur but not yet proved).
Important Disclaimer:
I reserve the right to edit, exchange or delete any book from my stash at any time.
