BOOK CONTEMPLATION
Staring at my bookshelves for at least 5-6 minutes to relax. I don’t know why but the fact that I can my books make me feel calm inside whenever I’m stressed out about something haha. They’re saying “You’re Home”.
DIY BOOKMARKS
Although I own a big collection of bookmarks that I gathered around the city, I always end up creating my own LOL. I guess I like to experiment with watercolour and create something funny between the pages of my book.
ALL OR NOTHING
I can either binge read a book for 3 hours straight or pace the reading from a week to a month. There’s no in-between.
FINDING THAT ONE PERSON READING THAT ONE BOOK
Finding bookworms in real life is so rare that whenever I spot someone reading my favourite book, it’s a matter of life and death. LET ME BE YOUR FRIEND AND TALK ABOUT IT FOR HOURS PLEASE.
HOW TO STACK BOOKS.. I THINK
Stacking books and eventually build a wall with it because I ran out of bookshelves.
GUILTY FOR NO REASON
The guilt that swallowed you up because you haven’t read at all the whole day?! *GASP*
EXCITED WHEN A BOOK IS ADAPTED
Getting excited to see the movie/ tv show adaptation even though you expect 70% of them to be crap haha.
What other weird bookish things that you do ? 🙂 Happy to hear your thoughts about it !
Lol I can also either binge read a book or spread it out! Although my binge gets crazy I have told myself countless of times “I’ll just read until midnight then pick back up in the morning” and then I’m up all night with my phone as a flash light reading until the very end lol

I always get excited or bookish adaptations, I guess even though part of me knows they may be terrible it’s a very small part of me. Most of me is just really excited a book I love is going to be appearing on the big or small screen. 🙂 ❤️
I never seem to see people out and about who read the same books I do, but whenever I see someone on public transport reading I take a sneaky peak and see if I can spot the title or cover. I just need to know what everyone’s reading. 😀

Haha, great list. I’m guilty of several! I collect bookmarks, and have occasionally made them out of pictures I really like by laminating them. I get very picky about what books get stored next to one another.

Book stacks are taking over my room at the moment and it’s getting to the point where I probably should have a clear out cause I have no space left and my room is just cluttered haha. I use to be able to have a day of binge reading, but I’ve found that I fall into that weekly/monthly reading pace for books now.
