Hi!
Well, long time, no see Top Ten Tuesday! Although I haven’t done one in a while, I loved this week’s topic, so I just had to participate! This week’s topic was Bookish Confessions. I have a lot of those. . . :) This was a fun one to write, but I liked reading everyone’s confessions even more. Want to link up yourself? Visit The Broke and The Bookish to get started. Better late than never, right?
[1] I have never read the Harry Potter series. Not one. However, I really like the movies :) That counts for something, right?
[2] I am kind of possessive of the books I read. I hate to think that other people in this world fall in love with the characters just as I do.
[3] I can’t read two books at once. Enough said.
[4] I won’t read books that are tattered and old and have that moldy smell. I’m probably missing out on a lot of good reads, but I prefer new books a lot more. If I am required to, I do it with a lot of dislike ;)
[5] Dog-eared books make me cringe. You will never find that happening in my own books!
[6] Whenever I read a mystery, I like to skim the end first. That way, I can piece together all of the clues while I’m actually reading it.
[7] I totally judge books by their cover. A good cover will really sell the book for me.
[8] I check out seven to eight books every time I walk into the library. It’s a really bad habit.
[9] If I’m reading a book, I have to stop at a certain chapter, like 3, 5, 8, 10, or 12. I have no clue why. Of course, there’s an exception to the rule when the chapters are really loonnng or very short.
[10] Finally, my bookshelf doesn’t really have an order. I know some like to organize it by color, authors, genre, etc. but as long as I can find the book I want, I’m good!
Have a lovely night!
Bella :)
Reblogged this on eighteenthousand.
I’m the exact opposite of number 4. When I start to read a crisp, brand new book, I feel like I have too keep it in the same condition. That means I usually only open it halfway and read by peering inside.
I know some people who are the exact same way!
Covers are there so they can be judged! I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. =] You know, mysteries tempt me to look at the ending, but I always resist, haha. And you should try reading the Harry Potter books… they’re waaay better than the movies!
The whole look at the ending in mysteries is a habit I get from my mom. None of my friends understand ;] People always tell me to try reading the Harry Potter books, but I have a huge stack of library books to tackle first! Haha.

How would you put them in order
Hmm, I like them all, so that’s a tough question. I would have to say though that I liked the newer ones more than the older ones.
You’ve never read Harry Potter – I’ve never read Twilight (and don’t intend to either). Lol – and I was the same way with library books – I couldn’t leave with less than 10 … they don’t even ask to see my card anymore.
You sound a lot like my family! The librarians were getting worried when we didn’t show up after a few days :)
