Bookworm Problems

Hey everybody! How are you? I hope you're doing well. I'm sorry about last week, both Espresso Patronum and I were extremely busy so we didn't have enough time to post. Today I have decided to do a post about bookworm problems. (no solutions though) These a 10 problems, some from twitter, some from me, and some from Espresso Patronum. All descriptions are mine. Without further ado, let's get right to it. (If from twitter, I will leave a link to the account)

1. Having to buy more bookshelves. I am constantly rearranging my bookshelves to try and fit more books, but what happens when you cannot fit anymore books into it? You have to buy a new bookshelf. That itself becomes a problems because now you have to find more room for another bookshelf.

2. Accidentally buying the second book in a series before the first. I am guilty of this, many times over. Just recently, I bought Spindle by E.K. Johnston, although it is a companion novel, I'm sure reading A Thousand Nights first would have helped me under the history better. Sometimes, you don't realize till you get home with the book. Then you open the cover, and bam! It shows a picture of the first book and says in nice bold letters Don't Forget to Read ________ first 

3.  Running out of money. It happens when you're addicted to books, you run out of all the money you set aside for books. When that day comes, you realize that you have to go to the library. Although you get your books for free there, they no longer have that new book smell and often have coffee stains on them. The people that borrow them see them as precious as we do.

4. Finishing a book that ends on a cliffhanger and the next one not coming out for another year or there will not be another book. *cries*

When you want to stay in bed all day and read but you realize you have to do other things. 

(Tea-Riffic) *cue the tears* This is a very real problem for me. I just want to finish my book but I have other less important things to do.

When people think they're insulting you by calling you a book worm. 

(Tea-Riffic) So true. I love being called a bookworm. It's who I am. Books have been a part of my life for such a long time that if I wasn't called a bookworm every so often, I would probably miss it. It's a compliment.

Will I ever get through all of these books in my lifetime? 

(Tea-Riffic) I agree. I just keep buying books but my tbr list keeps growing. It's a never ending cycle. Although you should see Espresso Patronum's tbr list, it's huge! 

8. (From twitter: https://twitter.com/Loryannhd)
When your head tells you it's more than time for sleep but your hands can't move from the book
(Tea-Riffic) Literally me every day. I really wish that I could read while I sleep. That would be nice.

9. (From Espresso Patronum)
Not being able to find time to read.
(Tea-Riffic) When I asked Espresso Patronum about her bookworm problems, this was her first answer because it is something both of us struggle with so often! We both have busy schedules and sometimes, fitting reading into that schedule is a difficult task.

10. (From Espresso Patronum)
Reading slumps.
(Tea-Riffic) my life feelings like it's passing like a snail when I don't feel like reading. When I don't feel like reading I don't escape to the made up world written in black and white. It makes me sad.

I hope you enjoyed this little post, thanks to twitter and espresso patronum for providing some bookworm problems and thank you for reading!

Until next time
