Top Ten Tuesdays: Bookish Confessions
Hosted by the Broke and the Bookish
Top Ten Bookish Confessions
Everyone has at least one bookish confession. Join us in spilling our deepest held secrets around one of our most beloved pastimes. Everyone has a bookish confession. What's yours?
Here are my Top Ten Bookish Confessions (I don't think I'll make it to ten, but we'll see how this goes).
1. I have on occasion returned a book given to me in order to either pick up one that I really wanted instead, or get a different copy of the book that fits in with the other editions I have of the same series. I can't help that I'm a little picky about my shelf.
2. I do judge what other people read, but only in fun. (50 Shades of Grey readers, I'm looking at you!) I really don't care that you like romances novels more than anything else, or have never read Harry Potter. Okay maybe I care about that last one a little. But seriously I read too many books that aren't marketed towards me to judge other's book choices. I just may give you some grief for them ;)
3. I am always tempted by books that get turned into movies, but I tend not to get around to reading them, especially if I see the movie first. Call it laziness, or whatever you like, after that I just can't be bothered. Besides, reading the book first is always more enjoyable to me!
4. I very rarely let other people borrow my books unless I know that I will see them in the very near future to get said book back, or I know they will treat the book with as much or more respect than I do. As a result, my library tends to stay at home. Maybe I would feel better if I put personalized book plates in all my books and kept my own circulation system.

I like the idea of getting personalized book plates. I hate when people disrespect my books!

i only let people i know really well and who take care of books borrow mine. it's like anything, though. if you treat other people's stuff or your own stuff like crap, i am not letting you borrow something of mine. and i think people should read whatever they want, though making a bit of fun is ok as long as i can take it, too.
