Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because they are particularly fond of lists at The Broke and the Bookish, and I decided to share my list with all of you also!
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is my top ten bookish problems.
1. When someone tells me I have too many books…
2. When I have to wait 6+ months for a sequel to be released…
3. When someone interrupts me when I’m reading…
4. When someone tries to tell me spoilers..
5. When people tell me reading is boring…
6. Telling myself “only 5 more pages” and finishing the entire book…
7. Becoming emotionally invested in the character and then the character dies…
8. Walking into a library and not being able to control how many I really NEED…
9. Getting so engrossed in a book that you don’t realize someone has been having a conversation with you for five minutes and you haven’t heard a single word…
10. Having no money because I spend it all on books…

Ha! These are great.
I’m a total bookworm and have been for as long as I can remember. A few years ago we had a house fire, and our insurance adjuster told me he had never inventoried so many books before. We ended up losing all of our kids’ books (which numbered in the hundreds) due to smoke damage, but we got back almost all of our books after they’d been cleaned. When we moved back to our house after it had been restored, we wanted to simplify our lives (translation: fewer belongings) so we decided to sell all but our favorite books. We had at least 20 bankers boxes full of books for sale, and they were the main draw of the yard sale. Of course, in the ensuing 3 years we have managed to accumulate a lot of books again. We need more bookshelves!

So sorry to hear about the house fire! And yes I try to control my mess of books by donating to the library or giving away to friends! Otherwise I’ll never have enough room! Unless I convince my husband to build me a library….

Number 7 is so terrible. My family doesn’t understand me when this happens because they never read the book!

Yes to all! Especially the sequels. I’m really bad about hoarding series that I really want to read because I want to read them when I have ALL of them.

I love when I find a series in which all the books have been released so I can binge read the entire series!

Number 9 is probably my favorite on your list. I can relate to many others as well, but that one – – It gets me into trouble sometimes. LOL

Thank you! I try to make it a priority and make it easy for myself to read wherever I am! I’m a huge fan of ebooks because they are great for reading on the go!

I hate having to wait for sequels too. By the time they’re released I forget half of what happened in the first book.

That happened to me with Divergent! I never finished the series and now I’m torn if I should or just watch the movie once it comes out…
