truer words have never been spoken

About 4000 books condescend to let me live here, wedged in between. All I have to do in exchange is read.

Reading is a very good way to self care.

I have an ebook addiction, I read all the time, and ebooks are amazing because you can have thousands, without worrying about shelf space, and you can download more instantly. Reading is my escape.

Yessss - Fantasy people, I reccomend Brandon Sanderson. The guy writes faster than I can get my hands on his books. Seriously, like 4 major novels/year and they're all my favorite of all time

Who are you? I'll meet you in the bathroom for socially anxious breaks from a way-too-crowded party of strangers to just read peacefully (hopefully there'll be a dog at the party too and I'll bring him too)

Not "strange" at all.

Reading is an ongoing power struggle between me and my teachers…

I have an upstairs book a downstairs book and a book in my car for when I'm out. I can read anywhere, anytime and never get distracted.

Bro. I literally brought a book to every school dance

That's a problem.

Definitely.

I can't get to most of my books because they are in boxes in the crawl space, the garage, the garden shed, the attic...it's good incentive to convert my favorites to my ereader.

Never stop!

I have honestly decided my reading is a bona fide addiction. It's not good if it stops you from work, love, play etc.

Love to read but I don't keep books anymore. I never re-read them. I pass them on. So many books I can't decide so I go to goodreads.com

I am so in love with this.

Hello fellow readers! Me too! I go through at least 2 books a week. Plus I always have an audiobook I'm listening to. Reading has been my solace and my escape for over 30 years. <3

I miss books

This is so me

It's been years since I've read a book

I read your nice comments and feel so bad. I suffer from severe depression and I can't listen music anymore cos it makes me feel even worst. I only want silence and I know this is a very bad sign. I won't wish this mental state not even to the worst person on earth.

But that's not strange .....

same!

You are maintaining the dexterity of your hands.

every time i nap i wake up feeling like im in another dimension after being asleep for 100,000,000 years

thats not strange at all about 1/3 of the worlds population is

I love how you express yourself. My husband keeps repeating your first part to me mostly because I'm accident prone and get in trouble. He plays the flute, the recorder and the violin. I love listening to him play. He writes music too.

I once peeled a piece of sunburn 3" square, I can still remember the triumph

Frasier.

MrBallen is an amazing storyteller when it comes to true crime and the strange and unusual in story format

Lol yes it is a way to get your anger out

I'm hearing 🎶 I kissed a girl and I liked it... The taste of her cherry Chapstick🎶

Stuffed animals, I can definitely relate to. I’d buy dozens if I had the room for them all

Oh my god same. It’s so horrifying and fascinating at the same time

everyone does this how is it weird?

I loved eating salt as a kid! Especially salt on raw tomatoes. Now that I'm older and have more than half family members with hypertension, I've learnt to control my addiction 😆

Honey, I think they entire world would be dead without plants.

Freecell for me. But it's hours, not minutes.

Pens and notebooks! I swear it is a little slice of heaven!

It's not weird at all!! I also love theatre, and the last show I was in was part of a few one acts going on at my school (a chance for upperclassmen to direct short shows at the end of the year) and my directors stopped showing up so our show got cancelled and every other person in my one act was double casted in another or part of tech for another show and being the only one who was still there but not technically part of anything sent me into a bad mental state for a while. I tried to keep a positive attitude though.

I kept all of my children's Lego for my grand-children but I have none. Maybe my husband will start playing with them again. I have tons.

now im hungry 😭

if you feel the need to chew it, you might be iron deficient

"Just for fun". As opposed to standing under a humidifier as a profession?

I've been really getting into those recently, not so much the videos, but so many websites! I just make vegetable stock from scratch for the first time today! I also began planting my first lot of vegetables recently.

probably light shy before the glasses. I'm pretty sensitive to light, too.
