1. HARDCOVERS OVER PAPERBACKS, 98% OF THE TIME.
Not only do hardcovers look SO MUCH PRETTIER and can stay in good condition for a longer time, but at least for me, I can read them a lot more easily. The other 2% of the time when I will purposely buy a paperback is when I have to go on a plane, or when I really really really NEED a book but I can't afford it in hardcover.
2. DUST JACKETS OFF OF HARDCOVERS WHILE READING THEM.
Well, first of all, I don't want to ruin them because they're almost always DOWNRIGHT GORGEOUS, and also, they just bother me while I'm reading them. OR the book has a TERRIBLE cover and I don't want people seeing me with it (kind of a bad reason, but still).
3. I AM AN EXTREMELY SLOW READER.
I don't know what it is, I'm just a slow reader. If I can read 5 books in a month, that'd be AMAZING.
4. I JUDGE BOOKS BY THEIR COVERS ALL THE TIME.
I mean, first off, I don't get why people say "don't judge a book by its cover" because if ya didn't know, THE WHOLE POINT OF A COVER IS TO ATTRACT YOU. OF COURSE YOU JUDGE IT. okay i'm getting too over reactive about this.
5. I HATE WHEN I HAVE TO PUT A DISCLAIMER.
Gosh, I hate when I do something like the unpopular opinions book tag and have to put a disclaimer so people don't hate me. IT'S JUST MY OPINION. AHHHHHH.
6. I BUY BOOKS I ALREADY OWN.
Sometimes, I see a COLLECTOR'S FREAKING EDITION of one of my favorite books and I just NEED to have it, for example. Like Tor just announced that in October there will be a collector's edition of A Darker Shade of Magic coming out with an exclusive short story and fan art AND IT HAS A BEAUTIFUL BLACK COVER. I WOULD SHOW IT HERE BUT IT WAS LITERALLY ANNOUNCED TODAY (March 24th).
7. I BUY BOOKS WAYYYY FASTER THAN I READ THEM.
Gah, I WISH I DIDN'T DO THIS. Seriously, I buy so many books, and I don't read them nearly as fast. AND SOMETIMES I GET BOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY EVEN WHEN I HAVE LIKE 100 BOOKS THAT I OWN THAT I ALSO HAVEN'T READ YET.
8. I AM THE WORST AT READING SUPER HYPED BOOKS.
*cries* WHY DO I DO THIS. Here are but a few super hyped books that I have yet to read:
- The last three books of the Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater
- An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
- The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
- The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh (but I just got it from the library so yay)
- Everything by V.E./Victoria Schwab other than the Shades of Magic series
- AND SO MUCH MORE.
9. I BREAK INTO A SWEAT WHEN I'M ASKED MY FAVORITE BOOK.
I'm sure y'all can relate to this. JUST ONE??? WHAT???
10. I AM TERRIBLE AT THINKING OF THINGS FOR THIS LIST.
Well, there's not much to say for this one - I'm so bad at it I had to use this for my last fact, and originally it's supposed to be 25, not 10. I'm just that bad at it.
And that's it for now! I hope you enjoyed this post. Bye!
