What are some things only a Bookworm would understand/relate to?

So at the end of the day, the only thing any bookworm wants is to just read more books. So, yes, book hoarding is my thing. Tell me, what are some of the things that you do that a fellow bookworm would totally relate to?

The quirks of a classic Bookworm are many, what's yours? #askswell #books #Bookworm #reading

It's book jealousy. I think bookworms suffer from book jealousy. You go into someone's home and you see they have books that you don't have. You want those books or you know that someone receives books from some relative or just somebody, and you're wondering, why aren't you receiving books from that person? Too? Roll

A big thing for me as a bookworm is reading multiple books at once. Right now, I'm reading three books at the same time, and it's because I cannot wait to finish one book before reading another. I personally cannot. It's like once I see a book I want and once I see a book I want to start, I want to start it now, even if I am already reading other book at the same time

Hey, this is Erica souljourney one k here. And I can relate to the book hoarding thing. In fact, I recently cleared out my spare room because the books were becoming towers and even the books that I was supposed to sell or give away were just sitting there and I was still buying more books. Granted, I do have book apps where I can get the ebook versions, and I do, but I can't help but continuously purchase the paperbacks and hardcover books

Hey, Miss Cole. This Erica here and everything you said, I relate to completely 1000%. I realize over the years I started reading multiple books. I never used to read multiple books at once. But as I said in one of my social media posts, I think the book that I have may outlive me because I have so many, many, and I figure maybe I can whittle them down by reading multiple books

Hey, Neena. Maya. I hope I pronounced that right. I can definitely relate to that. Sometimes I will go over someone's house and they have actual bookshelves with books that I actually would like to own myself. So I definitely can relate to that. It's not often that I feel that way, but every once in a while. In fact, I felt that way recently when my husband and I took a tour of our future place that we hope to move into

Hello. Oh, yes, you've pronounced my name perfectly. If you hear laughter in the background, it's my nephews and their friends playing, God knows, some video game. Anyway, now that you know about book jealousy, book envy, you're going to find it happening more and more. Ha

bookshop tourism

I will add bookstore tourism. When I visit a new city, I like to visit a bookshop. But the thing is, for the most part, books books are the same. And no matter what, like, I'm in the United States. So if I travel to another English speaking bookshop, they're gonna the same books that they have in my hometown, they're just going to be displayed differently

Which is an organ that a lot of reptiles and a lot of mammals have where they can smell heavy moisture particles in the air. So that is how tigers kind of smell blood, I suppose, in the air. Or that is how snakes, reptiles, know that yum yum is somewhere in the ground. Let's go hunt it. So I took a note while I was editing someone else because it's like, oh, it's called Jacobson's Organ. I wonder why
